Argus, which maintains its Buy rating on the stock, increased its price target by $17 to $161, implying a P/E of 20-times projected 2017 earnings of $8.13 and a potential upside of 14 percent from the current levels.
"While this is above the industry average, we believe that Raytheon merits a premium valuation given its strong growth outlook," analysts John Eade and Casey Meyers wrote in a note.
The analysts like the business mix of the defense contractor compared to its peers. Furthermore, they like the company's emphasis on advanced missile defense, electronic warfare and cybersecurity systems.
Meanwhile, Raytheon's recent second-quarter results topped consensus expectations. The company raised its 2016 estimate for EPS from continuing operations of $7.13–$7.33, up from a prior $6.93–$7.13. This forecast implies growth of 6–9 percent from 2015. Raytheon still expects sales of $24.0 billion–$24.5 billion, up 3–5 percent from $23.2 billion in 2015.
Argus also increased its 2016 EPS estimate to $7.30 from $7.14, given strong sales, expected margin improvement at IDS and IIS, and tax benefits.
