After a strong Q1, we increase our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.80 to $17.05 and our 2027 EPS forecast by $1.11 to $18.76.

Research Alert: Aercap Holdings Posts Q1 Beat & Raise, Strong Asset Demand And Margin Expansion

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:AerCap delivered record Q1 adj. EPS of $5.39, up 46% Y/Y, beating consensus by $1.68, while generating 19% adjusted ROE. Revenues rose 8% Y/Y to $2.24B (+9% above consensus), driven by basic lease rents of $1.68B and robust asset sales of $1.5B generating $291M in gains (+64% Y/Y) at 24% unlevered margins. The company achieved an 87% lease extension rate and executed strong capital deployment with $745M in share repurchases. Management raised full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to ~$14.50 (from a range of $12.00 to $13.00), excluding additional asset sale gains. AerCap added 110 new A320neo aircraft to its order book, with deliveries starting in 2028, positioning the company to capitalize on persistent OEM production constraints. We believe the combination of elevated asset values, premium pricing power, and locked-in delivery slots for fuel-efficient aircraft should drive sustained spread expansion and excess capital generation well beyond 2026. This creates potential for continued double-digit EPS growth.

Airline Capacity Deployment Slowdown Amid High Fuel Prices Could Hit Aircraft Lessors, Deutsche Bank Says

Aircraft lessors could be impacted by a projected slowdown in airline capacity deployment globally amid elevated jet fuel prices triggered by the Middle East conflict, Deutsche Bank said Monday.Energy prices have soared following the US-Israel war with Iran that has disrupted shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important chokepoint for crude flows.The conflict, which paused following a ceasefire between the US and Iran and later between Israel and Lebanon, has pushed jet fuel prices past $4 a gallon, according to Deutsche Bank."While aircraft lessors are not directly impacted (by high fuel prices) like airlines with higher operating costs, they are indirectly affected by changes in supply and demand for aircraft," Deutsche Bank analyst Shannon Doherty said in a note to clients Monday. "We cannot ignore the fact that surging jet fuel prices will lead to a slowing of global airline capacity deployment, with groundings a possibility among the financially weakest operators."Last week, American Airlines (AAL) and United Airlines (UAL) lowered their full-year earnings projections. United Airlines said at the time it faced headwinds in the first quarter, including a $340 million increase in fuel expense, compared with a year earlier.Qatar Airways recently contacted lessors to potentially defer or reduce rental payments, Deutsche Bank said Monday. If other airlines request similar favors and aircraft lessors opt to provide that relief, new terms will likely be net present value-positive over the longer term for lessors, according to the note.A premium multiple to AerCap Holdings' (AER) book value is "justified" given its diversified asset fleet earning mid-double-digit return on equity, Doherty said. An undersupply of aircraft assets is "structural" and is expected to last through the end of the decade, the brokerage wrote."AerCap represents one of the best ways to play this theme given the high demand for aircraft, its large orderbook, durable earnings, and high visibility into future cash flows given the long duration nature of its lease contracts," Doherty said.Price: $137.95, Change: $-0.14, Percent Change: -0.10%
