† Implied P/E: Multiples remain elevated across all three scenarios because AER is valued primarily on revenue scale during its growth phase, not near-term earnings power. Lower P/E in the bear case reflects multiple compression, but the absolute level stays high since 2030E still represents a hypergrowth-to-mature transition year.

AER catalysts and risks

Growth catalysts
+ 100 Airbus A320neo aircraft order (2028-2034 deliveries) expanding fleet capacity and future lease revenue
+ Expansion into cargo/freighter leasing (Ethiopian Airlines 777-300ERSF, Virgin Atlantic A330NEO deals signal growing widebody/specialty segment)
+ Tight global aircraft supply and sustained air travel recovery driving lease rates higher
+ Q1 2026 momentum: 286 assets leased/purchased/sold, $3B financing transactions, 5.4M share buyback at $745M
Key risks
- Analyst consensus revenue for 2026 (-2.5%) and 2027 (+1.5%) suggests near-term cyclical pressure and lease rate normalization risk
- Rising interest rates and debt servicing costs (EV/EBITDA 10.33x, Debt/Eq 2.38x) may compress margins
- Geopolitical tensions, airline insolvencies, and supply chain delays could reduce leasing demand or increase default risk
- Aircraft delivery delays from OEMs (Boeing, Airbus) could defer revenue realization beyond 2028
