The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Sept. 9, edition that National Bank Financial analyst Cameron Doerksen is keeping his "sector perform" call and $379 share target for Bombardier intact. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that analysts on average target the Class B shares at $366.88. On Tuesday, Mr. Doerksen emphasized that Bombardier has "a material presence" south of the border, directly employing more than 3,500 people in the United States at its sub-manufacturing sites and within its large service/support network. Mr. Doerksen says in a note: "Furthermore, given its large U.S. customer base, banning the sale of Bombardier jets into the U.S. would be massively disruptive to many business jet operators in the country. Bombardier-built jets have sizable U.S. supplier content (40 per cent or more U.S. content typically) and the company has 2,800 U.S. suppliers. Effectively eliminating a major OEM from the market would lead to lost revenue and job losses for those suppliers undoubtedly. One would hope that large U.S. aerospace suppliers would lobby on behalf of one of their most important customers (both GE Aerospace and Honeywell Aerospace supply engines to Bombardier)."
