Our note on each quarter FTAI Aviation files

10-Q filed November 2: FTAI Aviation

Model value +12.0%

FTAI Aviation's revenue reached $3.42bn over the twelve months to September 2026, a 46.0% rise on the prior year and a touch quicker than the 45.3% pace recorded a quarter earlier. Among the 32 trading companies and distributors we track, that growth places the company third. Profitability tells a weaker story, though: free-cash-flow margin slipped to -17.2%, down from -8.4% a year earlier. Taken together, these shifts nudge the fundamentals grade up from C to C+. Our model value has climbed too, moving from $87.26 to $97.73 a share. Even so, that figure sits well below the current share price of $203, leaving a wide gap between the model's estimate and where the market has priced the stock.

  • Gross margin slipping. Gross margin is down 10.0 points on a year ago.

Valuation models

We value FTAI Aviation Ltd. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 10.4%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.2 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model
Model Value per share In the combined value?
Price-to-earnings vs peers Earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) price-to-earnings. ~$100 ~$92–$150 Primary model, counts double
Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. — Does not apply: return on equity above 40%: buybacks or intangibles make book value too small an anchor
Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. ~$21 ~$19–$25 Left out: out of range vs price (0.11x)
Revenue-to-maturity model Revenue grown to maturity with the cash margin moving to the industry's; for companies not yet profitable. — Does not apply: revenue and margins don't support a positive value
Price-to-sales vs peers Sales per share times peers' typical price-to-sales; used only when earnings are negative. — Does not apply: earnings are positive: price-to-earnings is the better measure
Combined value Weighted average of the models that apply: the primary model (price-to-earnings vs peers) counts double. Models more than 5x or less than 0.2x the share price, or more than 3x away from the other models' median, are left out. ~$100 ~$92–$150 1 model

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare FTAI Aviation Ltd. with Trading Companies & Distributors in our coverage, using third-party market data.
