Peel Hunt £33 target25 Sep 2021 02:34
British body armour and gas mask maker Avon Protection was a big riser in London after winning a contract extension with the US Defence Logistics Agency.
Avon provides the agency, part of the US defence department, with body armour and landed a minimum order value of at least £14m over the next 12 months.
Boss Paul McDonald said it would underpin its revenue expectations for 2022. The shares surged 9.2 per cent, or 178p, to 2106p.
Analysts at Peel Hunt said the deal took the firm's total body armour orders to at least £28.5m and reiterated their 'buy' rating and 3,300p target price.
