StandardAero, Inc. (SARO)

Q3 2026
▲3▼1

StandardAero lifts guidance, wins contracts, expands capacity

  • Raised 2026 guidance and $180M license expansion StandardAero raised its 2026 earnings and revenue outlook and announced a $180 million OEM license expansion expected to add about $25 million in yearly profit at high margins. This tells investors the business is growing faster and more profitably than previously expected, pushing the stock up.

    This is the biggest new positive driver, directly lifting profit expectations.

  • New engine maintenance contracts with Arajet and GE StandardAero signed a LEAP engine service deal with airline Arajet and was picked by GE to build and maintain engines for UK military helicopters. Both add long-term aftermarket revenue and strengthen its military and commercial engine business, supporting the stock.

    These are new contract wins that expand future revenue streams.

  • Winnipeg facility expansion boosts MRO capacity StandardAero opened a 40% larger Winnipeg facility to handle more CF34 and CFM56 engine maintenance. More capacity lets it serve growing customer demand and take on more work, which supports future revenue and profit growth.

    This shows the company investing to meet demand, a positive supply-side signal.

  • Morgan Stanley cut SARO price target on valuation Morgan Stanley lowered its price target for StandardAero while staying bullish on aerospace overall, citing valuation shifts rather than weak fundamentals. A lower target can weigh on sentiment, but the firm's positive sector view and strong aftermarket demand limit the downside.

    This is the main counterweight, showing a valuation-driven headwind even as fundamentals stay strong.

AerSale Corp (ASLE)

Q3 2026

AerSale's Q2 miss: delayed plane sales and costly MRO ramp-up

  • Q2 revenue and profit badly missed as no planes sold AerSale reported second-quarter revenue of $70.93 million versus about $81 million expected, and a loss of $0.12 a share instead of the small profit analysts expected. Management blamed the timing of flight equipment sales, with no aircraft sold in the quarter. Missing sales and profit hurts the stock because investors see weaker cash coming in.

    This is the core new event explaining why ASLE is moving.

  • New MRO repair shops are running far below capacity The company's new maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities are still ramping up, and the Goodyear site is operating at under 20% capacity. Extra labor and startup costs are squeezing margins now, though management expects utilization to rise as stored aircraft need heavy maintenance. Until that happens, costs weigh on results.

    It explains the margin drag behind the miss and the path to recovery.

  • Delayed aircraft deals expected to close in coming months Management said several flight equipment sales that slipped out of the quarter should close within the next several months, and most ex-Spirit Airlines planes at Goodyear will need heavy maintenance before returning to service. That creates a future pipeline of sales and repair work, but the timing is uncertain and depends on execution.

    It is the main counterweight to the weak quarter and shapes the outlook.

  • AerSale is the weakest performer in a booming aerospace group Across the aerospace companies tracked this earnings season, most beat revenue expectations and raised guidance, with peers like HEICO, Rocket Lab and Astronics posting strong growth. AerSale stood out as the worst, with revenue down 33.9% year over year and its stock falling after results. Weakness versus a strong sector makes the miss look company-specific.

    It shows the problem is AerSale's own, not an industry downturn.
