3 Reasons FTAI Has Explosive Upside Potential

FTAI Aviation currently trades at $130.25 per share and has shown little upside over the past six months, posting a middling return of 0.7%. Does this present a buying opportunity for FTAI? Or is its underperformance reflective of its story and business quality? Find out in our full research report, it's free. With a focus on the CFM56 engine that powers Boeing and Airbus's planes, FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ:FTAI) sells, leases, maintains, and repairs aircraft engines. Examining a company's long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years. Thankfully, FTAI Aviation's 27.1% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was incredible. Its growth surpassed the average industrials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers. Although long-term earnings trends give us the big picture, we like to analyze EPS over a shorter period to see if we are missing a change in the business. FTAI Aviation's EPS grew at an astounding 73.8% compounded annual growth rate over the last two years, higher than its 44.9% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded. Free cash flow isn't a prominently featured metric in company financials and earnings releases, but we think it's telling because it accounts for all operating and capital expenses, making it tough to manipulate. Cash is king. As you can see below, FTAI Aviation's margin expanded over the last five years. FTAI Aviation's free cash flow margin for the trailing 12 months was negative 79.1%, and continued increases could help it achieve long-term cash profitability. These are just a few reasons why we think FTAI Aviation is a great business, but at $130.25 per share (or 22.6× forward P/E), is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it's free. The market surged in 2024 and reached record highs after Donald Trump's presidential victory in November, but questions about new economic policies are adding much uncertainty for 2025. While the crowd speculates what might happen next, we're homing in on the companies that can succeed regardless of the political or macroeconomic environment. Put yourself in the driver's seat and build a durable portfolio by checking out our Top 6 Stocks for this week.

GE Aerospace eyes further expansion in Malaysia, Asia Pacific

BEIJING: GE Aerospace plans to further expand its operations in Malaysia and across the Asia Pacific region as it strengthens its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities to meet rising global aviation demand. GE Aerospace vice president of sales for Asia Pacific, Nakul Gupta, said Malaysia remains a strategic hub for the company, with its Subang facility playing a central role in both regional and global operations. "Established in 1997 as a Centre of Excellence for CFM56 engines, our Malaysia site has evolved into a critical MRO hub supporting over 50 airlines worldwide. "It now serves as the Asia Centre of Excellence for LEAP MRO services and employs over 700 skilled professionals," he told Bernama recently, adding that the provider of jet and turboprop engines is looking to grow its capacity further. The expansion is supported by the company's proprietary FLIGHT DECK operating model and is expected to generate more high-skilled jobs in Malaysia. In 2018, GE Aerospace made a significant US$80 million investment to upgrade the Subang facility, which enabled the introduction of MRO services for the CFM LEAP engine. It is the first such capability for GE Aerospace outside the United States. "As demand continues to rise, we are committed to investing in infrastructure and talent development," he said. He also noted that the company invested US$45 million in the Asia Pacific region last year, reflecting its commitment to strengthening its repair technologies and reducing turnaround times. "This regional investment forms part of GE Aerospace's US$250 million global MRO and component repair investment in 2024, contributing to a broader five-year US$1 billion commitment," he pointed out. He further said that these funds were being used to expand facilities, enhance safety measures and acquire new test cells, tooling as well as equipment across facilities in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and South Korea. Within Southeast Asia, GE Aerospace's footprint includes its Singapore facility which accounts for over 60 per cent of the company's global repair volumes and is a pioneer in using additive manufacturing technology to repair jet engine components. "Additive technology allows us to complete repairs up to 60 per cent faster and with a significantly smaller footprint, enabling quicker aircraft turnaround for our customers," Nakul said. To support increasing demand, he said the company continues to upskill its workforce in emerging aviation technologies such as automation, robotics, and additive manufacturing. On the sustainability front, he said that all GE Aerospace and CFM engines are certified to operate on approved sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blends, with 10 engine models tested with 100 per cent SAF to date. "GE Aerospace also works closely with fuel producers, regulators and policymakers to accelerate SAF adoption and affordability," he added. GE Aerospace is a global provider of jet and turboprop engines as well as integrated systems for commercial, military, business and general aviation aircraft.

1 Momentum Stock Worth Your Attention and 2 to Turn Down

Great things are happening to the stocks in this article. They're all outperforming the market over the last month because of positive catalysts such as a new product line, constructive news flow, or even a loyal Reddit fanbase. While momentum can be a leading indicator, it has burned many investors as it doesn't always correlate with long-term success. All that said, here is one stock with the fundamentals to back up its performance and two not so much. One-Month Return: +34.9% Named after the founder's ancestral village in present-day Lithuania, Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE:VSH) manufactures simple chips and electronic components that are building blocks of virtually all types of electronic devices. Why Do We Pass on VSH? Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 9.1% annually over the last two years Incremental sales over the last five years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 25.4% annually while its revenue grew Free cash flow margin shrank by 15.4 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive Vishay Intertechnology is trading at $15.34 per share, or 7.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including VSH in your portfolio, it's free. One-Month Return: +31.8% One of the 'Big Four' airlines in the US, Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) is a major global air carrier that serves both business and leisure travelers through its domestic and international flights. Why Should You Dump DAL? Number of revenue passenger miles has disappointed over the past two years, indicating weak demand for its offerings Projected sales decline of 1.4% for the next 12 months points to a tough demand environment ahead Push for growth has led to negative returns on capital, signaling value destruction At $53.10 per share, Delta trades at 8.6x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why DAL doesn't pass our bar. One-Month Return: +18.6% With a focus on the CFM56 engine that powers Boeing and Airbus's planes, FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ:FTAI) sells, leases, maintains, and repairs aircraft engines. Why Should You Buy FTAI? Market share has increased this cycle as its 44.9% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 73.8% outpaced its revenue gains Cash burn has become less severe over the last five years, showing the company is making some progress toward financial sustainability FTAI Aviation's stock price of $117.50 implies a valuation ratio of 20.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it's free. Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election sent major indices to all-time highs, but stocks have retraced as investors debate the health of the economy and the potential impact of tariffs. While this leaves much uncertainty around 2025, a few companies are poised for long-term gains regardless of the political or macroeconomic climate, like our Top 5 Growth Stocks for this month. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 176% over the last five years. Stocks that made our list in 2020 include now familiar names such as Nvidia (+1,545% between March 2020 and March 2025) as well as under-the-radar businesses like the once-small-cap company Comfort Systems (+782% five-year return).
