Helane Becker, an analyst from TD Cowen, maintained the Buy rating on Air Lease (AL – Research Report). The associated price target is $47.00.
Helane Becker’s rating of Air Lease’s stock (AL) as a Buy is anchored on a number of key factors. Firstly, Becker sees a strong position for AL to continue its organic growth through aircraft deliveries derived from their order book. There is a positive outlook for sales activity to increase as the delivery of aircraft from OEMs improves, leading to fewer delays in aircraft delivery.
Furthermore, Becker takes into account AL’s recent financial decisions, including the 5% increase in their dividend. This suggests that AL is likely to persist in returning capital to its shareholders, a move that often indicates a confident financial outlook. Additionally, Air Lease’s third-quarter earnings per share stood at $1.10, which favorably compared to both the consensus estimate of $1.03 and the previous year’s EPS of $0.90. Revenues were also on the rise, increasing by 17.5% year-on-year, outperforming the consensus estimate. These positive financial indicators further solidify Becker’s Buy rating.
