Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

The market expects FTAI Aviation (FTAI - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 29, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis transportation infrastructure company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.32 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -15.9%.

Revenues are expected to be $859.32 million, up 27.1% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for FTAI Aviation?For FTAI Aviation, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that FTAI Aviation will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that FTAI Aviation would post earnings of $1.61 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.29, delivering a surprise of -19.88%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates just once.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

FTAI Aviation doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Combination of Market Leaders in Engine Maintenance and Cargo Conversion is Expected to Bring a More Cost-Effective Freighter Solution to Airlines Globally July 07, 2026 06:30 ET  | Source: FTAI Aviation Ltd.

NEW YORK and MIAMI, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NASDAQ: FTAI; the "Company" or "FTAI") and Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. ("AEI") today announced a collaboration focused on delivering a more cost-effective Boeing 737-800 freighter solution to airline partners globally. The collaboration will combine FTAI's engine maintenance capabilities with AEI's cargo conversion leadership to deliver customized freighter aircraft at scale and at a lower cost.

“The Boeing 737-800 is poised to become the workhorse of narrowbody freight, but growth has been constrained by the lack of an engine solution designed for cargo economics,” said David Moreno, President of FTAI. “We can build and maintain lower cycle engines customized for cargo enabling FTAI and AEI to deliver aircraft at a significantly lower operating cost. This collaboration adds cargo to FTAI’s CFM56 platform, extending the engine’s lifecycle across passenger, cargo and power.”

“AEI has led the global narrowbody freighter conversion market for over 60 years and has converted more aircraft than any other provider in the industry,” said Robert T. Convey, Senior Vice President at AEI. “Combining our conversion expertise with FTAI's engine maintenance services gives airlines a proven path to freighter capacity built for the long term.”

With almost 6,000 aircraft delivered, the Boeing 737-800 is the most widely produced narrowbody in aviation history, giving it the scale to anchor the freighter market for many years. FTAI’s ability to provide CFM56 engines is critical to support the market at scale and its aftermarket engine maintenance capabilities will play a central role in ensuring the aircraft can fly reliably and cost-effectively for airlines worldwide. As a global leader in passenger to freighter conversions for a wide array of aircraft, AEI has developed over 130 Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs), 625+ aircraft have been modified with AEI STCs – more than any other conversion provider.

On April 21, 2026, FTAI Aviation Ltd FTAI shares fell 8.1%, bringing the current price to $236.74. This decline is part of a broader trend, with shares down 12.2% over the past week, despite a strong year-to-date performance of 20.5%. Over the past year, FTAI has seen remarkable growth, with an increase of 173.3%, although it has fluctuated significantly, hitting a 52-week high of $323.51 and a low of $85.23.

GF Value™ verdict: Current price of $236.74 is 42.1% above the estimated fair value of $166.61.GF Score™ of 83/100 indicates a strong overall performance relative to peers.Notable signal: Insiders sold $3.0M in shares over the last three months, with no buying activity reported. Is FTAI Overvalued or Undervalued? FTAI Aviation Ltd's current price of $236.74 is substantially higher than the GF Value™ estimate of $166.61, indicating that the stock is 42.1% overvalued. This discrepancy suggests a significant margin of safety for potential investors, highlighting a risk for current shareholders as the market may correct this valuation disparity. The GF Valuation label classifies the stock as "Significantly Overvalued," which raises concerns about future price adjustments that could lead to a decline in the stock value.

GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. As such, the current overvaluation signals a potential risk for investors, as the market may eventually align the stock price closer to its intrinsic value, leading to a possible downward correction in the future.

How Does FTAI's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 51.2x 41.9x Forward P/E 33.4x - The current P/E (TTM) of 51.2x is significantly above its 5-year median P/E of 41.9x, indicating that FTAI is trading at a higher valuation compared to its historical averages. This analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict that suggests the stock is overvalued, reinforcing concerns about the sustainability of current price levels.

What Does FTAI's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 83 Financial Strength 4/10 Profitability 7/10 Growth 10/10 Valuation 3/10 Momentum 6/10 The GF Score™ of 83/100 indicates that FTAI Aviation Ltd is performing strongly overall, particularly in the Growth category, where it scored a perfect 10/10. However, its Financial Strength rating of 4/10 and Valuation rating of 3/10 highlight significant weaknesses that could pose risks for long-term stability and growth. The solid profitability rank of 7/10 suggests that while the company is performing well financially, its valuation metrics raise concerns about future returns.

What Are Insiders Doing with FTAI Stock? Recently, insider activity at FTAI has shown a trend of selling, with insiders offloading approximately $3.0 million in shares over the past three months and no reported buying. This pattern of selling may suggest a lack of confidence in the stock's current valuation or future performance potential. Such insider selling can serve as a cautionary signal for external investors, indicating that those with intimate knowledge of the company may not view the stock's current price as favorable.

What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, FTAI Aviation Ltd is currently overvalued. Given the significant gap between the market price and the estimated intrinsic value, potential investors may need to exercise caution and consider the risks associated with the current valuation before making investment decisions.

Investors might want to bet on FTAI Aviation (FTAI - Free Report) , as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). This upgrade primarily reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates, which is one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.

The Zacks rating relies solely on a company's changing earnings picture. It tracks EPS estimates for the current and following years from the sell-side analysts covering the stock through a consensus measure -- the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

The power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements makes the Zacks rating system highly useful for individual investors, since it can be difficult to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts. These are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time.

As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for FTAI Aviation is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.

Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock PricesThe change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. That's partly because of the influence of institutional investors that use earnings and earnings estimates for calculating the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their bulk investment action then leads to price movement for the stock.

Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for FTAI Aviation imply an improvement in the company's underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.

Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate RevisionsEmpirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, so it could be truly rewarding if such revisions are tracked for making an investment decision. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.

The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Earnings Estimate Revisions for FTAI AviationFor the fiscal year ending December 2026, this transportation infrastructure company is expected to earn $7.21 per share, which is unchanged compared with the year-ago reported number.

Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for FTAI Aviation. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 6.8%.

Bottom LineUnlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of "buy" and "sell" ratings for its entire universe of more than 4,000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a "Strong Buy" rating and the next 15% get a "Buy" rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.

The upgrade of FTAI Aviation to a Zacks Rank #1 positions it in the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

Key Performance Measures

In addition to net income (loss), the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). This performance measure provides the CODM with the information necessary to assess operational performance and make resource and allocation decisions. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful metric for investors and analysts for similar purposes of assessing our operational performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to shareholders, adjusted (a) to exclude the impact of provision for (benefit from) income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition and transaction expenses, losses on the modification or extinguishment of debt and preferred shares and capital lease obligations, asset impairment charges, incentive allocations, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and dividends on preferred shares, internalization fee to affiliate, (b) to include the impact of our pro-rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated entities and (c) to exclude the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities, if any.

Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not included in this press release because the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income attributable to shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

SummaryCompaniesOf the $1.5 billion purchase price, $785 million is assumed debtDeal supports MARA's pivot to digital infrastructure and powerNEW YORK, April 30 (Reuters) - MARA Holdings (MARA.O), opens new tab told Reuters on Thursday it will buy Long Ridge Energy & Power from ‌FTAI Infrastructure (FIP.O), opens new tab for $1.5 billion including debt, a major step in the bitcoin miner's push to reposition as a digital infrastructure and energy company.

Having been one of the largest companies mining and holding bitcoins in recent years, its shift towards ​digital infrastructure and the energy generation needed to power it comes as AI demand and ​advancements surge.

The Reuters Power Up newsletter provides everything you need to know about the global energy industry. Sign up here.

While its previous focus on cryptocurrencies is complementary to its revised strategy, MARA ⁠is increasingly looking to own energy assets to ensure it has sufficient power for data center ​development.

IDEAL ASSET FOR NEW STRATEGYThe acquisition of Long Ridge Energy represents a significant step in this evolution.

Long Ridge ​owns a 505-megawatt combined cycle natural gas power plant in Hannibal, Ohio, as well as more than 1,600 contiguous acres of land, upon which MARA plans to build a data center powered by the plant, the company said.

"It has ​all the key components for us, for the ideal data center campus," MARA Chief Executive Fred Thiel ​said in an interview.

He said the plant was highly efficient due to its relatively young age -- construction was completed ‌in 2021 -- ⁠and noted the land was already permitted for industrial use, reducing a major hurdle to data center development.

Thiel said MARA had already attracted interest from a number of potential tenants, including hyperscalers -- firms that provide massive cloud-computing capacity -- to lease space at the planned data center. He said the company expects ​to have a tenant lined ​up around the time ⁠the deal closes.

The acquisition is expected to close later in 2026, depending on regulatory approvals including from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

ASSETS TO PROVIDE INSTANT ​CASHThe $1.5 billion transaction includes the assumption of around $785 million in existing debt, and ​the Long ⁠Ridge power assets generate annualized adjusted earnings of around $144 million, the company said.

This provides MARA with cash flow ahead of contributions from the data center project.

Thiel said MARA's ownership would not change the amount of power ⁠that Long ​Ridge provides to retail consumers.

Concerns are mounting across the United States ​about the strain data center development could place on the electric grid, with the PJM transmission region -- where the plant is ​located -- considered among the most at risk for disruption.

Shares in FTAI Aviation (FTAI 3.42%) shot higher by more than 15% by 3 p.m. today after the market digested its excellent first quarter 2026 earnings report and guidance. Moreover, there's reason to believe its end-market environment could improve throughout the year.

The company's core business is Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) of legacy aircraft engines, such as CFM International's CFM56. CFM is a GE Aerospace (GE 3.55%) joint venture, and FTAI and CFM have a multiyear agreement in place under which FTAI will MRO CFM56 engines; the benefit to GE Aerospace and its joint venture partner, Safran, is that they are guaranteed a market for their high-margin aftermarket equipment.

Current Price

$

225.76

In addition, FTAI is set to launch FTAI Power in the fourth quarter of 2026, an exciting business that will convert CFM56 engines into power turbines to power data centers.

Why the stock soared today The recent results saw management confirm its full-year guidance, but it's not just about 2026 for the company, with CEO Joseph Adams noting that "Based on these conversations stand today, we expect to be mostly sold out of our 2027 target production in the near term with a meaningful portion of 2028 spoken for."

It's a strong outlook, but it could get even better if engine retirements increase due to slowing growth in flight departures amid the war in the Persian Gulf. It's a subject that came up extensively on GE Aerospace's recent earnings presentations. More engine retirements would make it easier and cheaper for FTAI to acquire parts from retired engines for its core business. In addition, it will also support its FTAI Power business.

Given the commentary on a sold-out production, investors know FTAI has strong revenue growth prospects, and a potential cost reduction would also boost its margins.

On May 11, 2026, FTAI Aviation Ltd FTAI shares rose 3.7% to a current price of $280.36. Over the past week, the stock has performed well, increasing by 16.8%, and it has shown a remarkable rise of 163.9% over the last year. The stock has a 52-week range of $105.59 to $323.51.

GF Value™ verdict: FTAI is currently priced at $280.36, which is 42.7% above the GF Value™ estimate of $196.42.GF Score™: 87/100, indicating a strong overall performance based on key financial metrics.Most notable signal: Insiders sold $64.6M in stock over the last 3 months with no buying activity. Is FTAI Overvalued or Undervalued? Based on the GF Value™ analysis, FTAI is significantly overvalued at its current price of $280.36, which is 42.7% higher than the GF Value™ estimate of $196.42. This suggests that there may be limited margin of safety for potential investors, as the current price is well above intrinsic value. The GF Valuation label indicates that the stock is significantly overvalued, which raises a cautionary flag for those considering entering a position at this price level. The high valuation may expose investors to potential downside risk if the market corrects or if the company fails to meet future growth expectations.

GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.

How Does FTAI's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 55.6x 42.4x Forward P/E 42.6x - Currently, FTAI's P/E ratio stands at 55.6x, which is significantly above its 5-year median P/E of 42.4x, reflecting that the stock is trading at a higher valuation compared to its historical averages. The forward P/E ratio of 42.6x suggests that while future earnings may be more reasonably priced, the current P/E analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict indicating that the stock remains overvalued.

What Does FTAI's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 87/100 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 7/10 Growth 10/10 Valuation 5/10 Momentum 6/10 The GF Score™ of 87/100 reflects a strong position for FTAI, particularly in terms of growth, where it achieved a perfect score of 10/10. However, the financial strength rating of 5/10 indicates a need for improvement in this area, suggesting potential vulnerabilities. Overall, the strong growth potential juxtaposed with moderate financial strength presents a mixed view of the company's stability moving forward.

What Are Insiders Doing with FTAI Stock? Recent insider activity at FTAI has shown a significant trend towards selling, with insiders offloading a total of $64.6 million in shares over the past three months, and no recorded buying activity. This heavy selling by insiders may suggest a lack of confidence in the current valuation or future performance of the company, which could be a red flag for potential investors. Insider sentiment can be a critical indicator of a company’s outlook, and the lack of buying activity raises questions about the optimism regarding the stock's future.

What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, FTAI Aviation Ltd FTAI is currently overvalued. The current trading price is significantly higher than the intrinsic value estimated by GF Value™, indicating potential risks for investors considering the stock at this valuation level.

$612 Million Issuance Backed by Aircraft Receives Strong Investor Reception and Marks Strategic Entry into ABS Capital Markets May 22, 2026 06:30 ET  | Source: FTAI Aviation Ltd.

NEW YORK, May 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NASDAQ: FTAI; the “Company” or “FTAI”) today announced the successful pricing of its Strategic Capital vehicle’s inaugural asset-backed securitization, FTAI MRE 2026-1. The offering consists of $612 million of notes backed by a portfolio of 48 A320ceo and 737NG aircraft on-lease to 23 airlines globally. FTAI MRE 2026-1 will issue two classes of investment grade notes, with the Series A notes expected to be rated Asf / A(sf) by Fitch and KBRA, respectively, and the Series B notes expected to be rated BBB+sf by Fitch. The transaction is expected to close on June 4, 2026.

The aircraft backing the ABS are owned by FTAI’s first Strategic Capital vehicle, which completed its fundraising in October 2025 with $2.0 billion of equity commitments and currently owns 292 aircraft. The transaction generated strong investor demand, reflecting FTAI’s longstanding leadership in the narrowbody aircraft market, with both classes of notes significantly oversubscribed.

“This inaugural securitization is an important milestone for FTAI and our Strategic Capital vehicles as we diversify our financing sources and deepen our presence in the capital markets,” said Kallie Steffes, Head of Strategic Capital at FTAI. “We believe the strong investor interest in the offering is an affirmation of our differentiated approach to investing in narrowbody aircraft, which combines FTAI’s leading engine maintenance capabilities with aircraft ownership. We are grateful to the ATLAS SP Partners and Deutsche Bank teams for their partnership since the launch of our initial warehouse through this ABS issuance.”

ATLAS SP Partners and Deutsche Bank served as joint structuring agents and joint lead bookrunners on the transaction. BNP Paribas, Citigroup and PNC Capital Markets served as joint bookrunners and Standard Chartered Bank and KeyBanc Capital Markets served as co-managers.

Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP served as issuer’s counsel, Milbank LLP served as initial purchaser’s counsel and McGuireWoods LLP served as servicer’s counsel. Alton Aviation Consultancy will serve as maintenance support provider, and Collateral Verifications, AISI and mba Aviation will serve as appraisers. Pivotal Corporate AMS Limited will serve as managing agent and UMB Bank will serve as security trustee.

FTAI Aviation is innovatively leveraging jet engine cores to address the urgent power needs of data centers amid an energy bottleneck. FTAI's new power segment, repurposing CFM56 engines, could add 30% to company value by 2027, with significant upside if unit deliveries meet targets. The stock is rated Buy, with a $393 price target (57% upside) based on 25 power units sold in 2027; risk increases as FTAI enters the energy sector.
