Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about AAR Corp. stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "AAR Corp. is the largest independent maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider in North America. Moving ahead, rising air traffic is expected to accelerate maintenance spending on aircraft significantly and drive the MRO services growth cycle. Its share price has outperformed the Zacks categorized Aerospace/Defense Equipment industry price over the last one year. The company is gradually lowering its debts and expects an increase in cash flow on the back of its strong fundamentals. However, the company operates in a highly competitive space and is subject to stringent government regulations." (6/20/2017)
• 2. Credit Suisse Group analysts commented, "We believe that the 2017 delivery profile is likely to be back-end loaded again, but less than in 2016. On A350, the ramp-up remains complex but the level of re-work and extra resources is reducing now and the group continues its efforts on reducing recurring costs. As for A400M, it may be possible that the group is sufficiently advanced in discussions with customers to book a provision for liquidated damages in Q4 (as flagged with H1 results), which may be expected to be significantly lower than the H1 charge."
