The mid-range guide for 2026 points to about 13% growth over 2025’s $860 million. Meanwhile, fourth-quarter bookings came in stronger than sales, with the “book-to-bill” ratio landing around 1.1. That tells you order intake is running above shipments for now.
The company submitted the revised Form 8-K to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, according to the .
The surge sent ATRO beyond what some analysts expected. According to , the stock just broke through the average 12-month target price of $60.75. Analyst targets cluster between $58 and $65.
What comes next: we get granular. Margins, cash flows, and — crucial — conversion of backlog to actual shipments as the new year unfolds. Traders now want a new look at the revenue range, but they’ll have to wait until the books are officially shut.
Still, the update is preliminary and hasn’t been audited. Aerospace orders often arrive in clusters or get pushed back, too. If aircraft production rates slow down, or customer approvals and deliveries hit snags, reaching that 2026 target could become tougher.
Astronics hasn’t locked in a date for its Q4 report yet, though MarketBeat is projecting March 3 after the bell. That update is expected to bring sharper detail on the 2026 targets and booking trends, according to .
