The company recently delivered third quarter earnings per share of $0.49, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 26%, driven by double-digit sales growth and an expanding operating margin. Analysts have also been revising their estimates higher following the strong quarter.
Although the share price has risen over 30% since early September, the stock still appears reasonably valued.

Kaman Corp operates in two segments: Industrial Distribution (62% of sales), and Aerospace (38%).
The Industrial Distribution division is the third largest power transmission and motion control industrial distributor in North America.
The Aerospace segment is a manufacturer and subcontractor in the global commercial and military aerospace and defense markets.

On November 1, Kaman Corp reported it results for the third quarter of 2010. Earnings per share came in at $0.49, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.39. It was a 32% increase over the same quarter in 2009.

Operating income increased 33.6% year-over-year, while the operating margin expanded from 5.1% to 5.4%.
Outlook
Analysts have been revising their earnings estimates higher following the strong third quarter, propelling the stock to a Zacks #2 Rank (Buy).
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2010 is $1.31, up from $1.22 before the third quarter earnings release. Although it represents just 3% growth over 2009 EPS, the 2011 estimate is currently $1.97, corresponding to 50% growth over 2010.

Its price to book ratio is in-line with its peers, however, at 2.1.
