Several fundamental considerations—most underscored by news flow emanating from the ongoing Paris Airshow—should continue to help HXL deliver continued attractive double-digit EPS growth, including ramping 787, A350 and A400M production schedules, the expansion of the Dreamliner product offering into larger variants, and forthcoming commercial introductions/ ramps of the A320neo and 737max variants."
