Why Are Astronics (ATRO) Shares Soaring Today

What Happened?

Shares of aerospace and defense technology solutions provider Astronics Corporation (NASDAQ: ATRO) jumped 24.3% in the morning session after the company reported impressive fourth quarter 2024 results that blew past analysts' EBITDA and revenue estimates. Sales rose nearly 7%, driven by double-digit growth in its Aerospace segment, which was impressive given anticipated headwinds related to Boeing's 737 production pause. Gross profit climbed over 25% as higher sales volumes and improved production efficiencies boosted margins. 

One thing to note is that its EPS missed due to a non-recurring $3 million loss on the retirement of some debt. Looking ahead, Astronics projected mid-single-digit growth in 2025, in line with expectations and supported by a record backlog and stabilizing supply chains. Overall, this quarter had some key positives.
