Adestella Investment Management Andrew Jakubowski | “AAR Corp is positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds in the aerospace aftermarket. Due to aircraft delivery delays and rising air traffic demand, airlines are extending the lifespans of existing fleets, driving strong demand for AAR's maintenance and parts services.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 2, 2026 | View Pitch |
Night Watch Investment Management Roderick van Zuylen | “AAR Corp (AIR) was another strong performer which, fortunately, was an oversized (~9%) position for us. AAR provides after-market maintenance services for airplanes. We believe this company is benefit” | BULL | Q1 2026 Apr 1, 2026 | View Pitch |
Alger Weatherbie Specialized Growth Fund H. George Dai, Joshua D. Bennett | “AAR Corp. is a global aerospace and defense aftermarket services provider that supports commercial airlines and government customers through parts distribution and supply-chain solutions, as well as maintenance, repair, and overhaul services—an area we believe is structurally supported by high aircraft utilization and an aging fleet. During the quarter, shares detracted from performance amid investor uncertainty following the company's early-December announcement of a Chief Financial Officer transition; however, we believe underlying demand trends across AAR's end markets remain healthy. BSD Analysis: AAR provides aviation services spanning parts distribution, maintenance, and supply-chain support for commercial and government customers. As global flight hours normalize, aftermarket demand continues to recover. AAR's value lies in inventory availability, certification expertise, and long-standing customer relationships. Government and defense contracts add stability during commercial aviation downturns. Margins are modest but improving with scale and utilization. Capital intensity is manageable relative to peers. This is a steady aviation recovery play rather than a pure aerospace growth bet.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
