A strategic exit from low-margin Legacy Commercial Programs and focus on component MRO and software should enhance margin mix and capital returns.

AAR Corp.: Getting On A Stronger Footing
Summary AAR Corp. provides aviation after market services, with parts supply being the largest and highest-margin segment, and has global operations with 6,000 employees. The acquisition of Triumph Product Support increased sales but also raised leverage to over 3 times, with GAAP earnings impacted by adjustments and fines. Despite strong organic growth and potential for earnings improvement, I remain cautious due to elevated leverage and messy GAAP earnings in the near term. AIR's leverage concerns are easing following a strong Q2 earnings report, but I'm waiting to buy due to broader market sell-offs. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 16
AAR: MRO Play Suffering Some Turbulence
Summary AAR's acquisition of Triumph Product Support was substantial, raising leverage to over 3 times, resulting in limited immediate earnings accretion. Despite a 10% stock decline over the past year, AAR's adjusted earnings rose to $3.33 per share, but GAAP earnings lagged due to acquisition-related expenses. Current valuations are more appealing with an 18-19 times earnings multiple, but high leverage and poor cash flow conversion remain concerns. I am cautiously optimistic, awaiting the second quarter earnings report to reassess my neutral but constructive stance on AAR's stock. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaShareholder Returns
