Research notes
AerCap’s bull case is strong demand for scarce, newer aircraft, pricing power from constrained production, durable maintenance and asset-sale earnings, substantial share repurchases, and a relatively low forward P/E of about 8.6x. The bear case centers on high leverage and debt-financing exposure, airline stress from elevated fuel costs, potential credit losses or lease deferrals, and valuation risk after the stock approached record highs. The major recent catalyst was AerCap’s Q3 2026 “beat-and-raise”: adjusted EPS was $6.56 versus $4.56 expected, and full-year adjusted EPS guidance rose to approximately $20.70. Shares rose as much as 5.6% toward $158.85, while Barclays raised its price target to $181 and maintained an Overweight rating.
