Citi analyst Jason Gursky raised the firm’s price target on General Dynamics to $354 from $331 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of a Q3 earnings preview for the aerospace and defense group.

It also expects defense suppliers to speak constructively about the demand outlook given rising budgets in Europe and supplemental spending bills in the U.S.
