Air Lease ( (AL) ) has shared an announcement.
At a special meeting of stockholders held on December 18, 2025, Air Lease Corporation’s Class A shareholders approved a definitive merger agreement under which the U.S.-listed lessor will be acquired by Dublin-based holding company Sumisho Air Lease Corporation DAC, whose owners will include Sumitomo Corporation, SMBC Aviation Capital, and investment vehicles affiliated with Apollo-managed funds and Brookfield. Approximately 80.7% of outstanding Class A shares as of the November 3, 2025 record date backed the deal, clearing a key milestone toward closing a cash transaction that will see Air Lease investors receive $65 per share and the company rebranded as Sumisho Air Lease Corporation, with the vote also endorsing, on an advisory basis, merger-related executive compensation and removing the need to adjourn the meeting to seek additional proxies.

Spark’s Take on AL Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AL is a Outperform.
Air Lease’s strong valuation and technical indicators are the primary drivers of its stock score. Financial performance is solid but tempered by high leverage and negative free cash flow. Legal challenges related to the merger introduce additional risk, though they are not factored into the weighted score.
