What are Wall Street analysts saying about AAR stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about AAR stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "AAR Corp. expects its supply chain to witness strong growth with continued demand in MRO businesses. The company’s Aviation Services segment continues to benefit significantly from its strong position in the growing global aviation market. Going ahead, a favorable trend in both commercial, government and defense customers for comprehensive supply chain and maintenance programs should continue to drive this segment’s growth. It's shares also outperformed its industry in past one year. However, the company is exposed to currency fluctuation risks due to its geographically expanded client base and operations beyond the U.S. AAR Corp. operates in a space that is highly competitive, and consists of both big and small industry players. To keep up with other players in this space, the company will have to spend substantially for technological progress that could adversely affect its operations and financial condition." (9/12/2018)
- 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We are adjusting our Q1/19 revenue estimate by ~$40M due to timing issues in the MRO market. Specifically, the delays in new A320 and 737 aircraft deliveries, due largely to delays in new engine deliveries, have resulted in stronger-than-expected demand for the current aircraft fleet. Typically, when airline MRO activity hits its usual seasonal low in the summer, AAR can offset this decline at least partially with one-off visits from lessor-owned aircraft. As a result of the ~125 new aircraft delivery delays, lessors are not taking aircraft in for MRO at the usual rate. This is creating a revenue headwind for AAR in fiscal Q1/19. Management highlighted its Q1/19 outlook at our recent Global Growth Conference." (8/16/2018)
