We believe investors misunderstand COL's potential. The company [which engages in the design, production and support of communications and aviation electronics for military and commercial customers worldwide] is well diversified; has one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry; and has a highly regarded management team. Business-jet-related sales account for nearly 20% of COL's annual sales. Reiterating 85 target price (13 times F2008 estimated enterprise value/Ebitda).
