Louie DiPalma has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight AAR’s strategic positioning and financial health. The recent equity offering, which raised $274.9 million, has strengthened AAR’s balance sheet by bringing net leverage within the company’s long-term target range. This financial maneuvering not only stabilizes the company’s current standing but also equips it with the necessary capital for future mergers and acquisitions, thereby supporting its growth strategy.
Moreover, AAR’s consistent 20% growth in new parts distribution over the past four years underscores its robust operational performance. The acquisition of American Distributors (ADI) is a strategic move that enhances AAR’s scale and broadens its OEM relationships with major electronics players. This acquisition not only increases revenue potential but also deepens existing partnerships with significant OEMs, positioning AAR for continued success in the aerospace and government sectors.
According to TipRanks, DiPalma is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 5.9% and a 63.13% success rate. DiPalma covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Palantir Technologies, Caci International, and Gilat.
In another report released on September 29, KeyBanc also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $93.00 price target.
