0917 GMT - Airbus meeting its 2025 aircraft-delivery goal brings greater confidence that the European plane maker can ramp up production and deliver more aircraft in the coming years, Deutsche Bank's Christophe Menard writes in a research note. Airbus dispatched 793 commercial aircraft to 91 customers last year, in line with company guidance of about 790 deliveries. This indicates that Airbus shipped 136 planes in December alone, with what Menard called an unprecedented rally of 102 aircraft in the latter half of the month. "This strong performance warrants a longer-term valuation assessment, shifting focus to 2028," he says. He raises the price target for the company's stock to 250 euros from 222 euros. Airbus shares trade 0.3% higher at 216.80 euros. (mauro.orru@wsj.com)
