Action:DowngradedDate:03/29/26
The score is driven primarily by improving fundamentals (margin expansion and a large 2025 free-cash-flow step-up) and supportive 2026 guidance from the earnings call. These positives are tempered by weak technicals (price below major moving averages with negative MACD) and near-term execution/cash-timing risks tied to GTF-related costs and working-capital build, while valuation appears reasonable but not notably cheap and the dividend yield is modest.
Positive Factors
Order‑book visibility
A roughly EUR 29.5bn backlog covering about three years provides durable revenue visibility and production cadence. That multi‑year book supports predictable OEM and aftermarket volumes, enabling capacity planning, long‑lead procurement and phased investments tied to contracted cash flows.
Negative Factors
GTF compensation cash burden
Ongoing GTF compensation payments create a structural cash outflow that reduces free cash flow and financial flexibility while program remediation continues. Continued payments materially compress available cash for investment or debt reduction until the liability is fully settled.

Company Guidance
MTU guided 2026 group revenues of EUR 9.2–9.7 billion (assumes USD/EUR 1.20) and adjusted EBIT of EUR 1.35–1.45 billion (consistent with its 2030 margin corridor of 14.5%–15.5%), with adjusted net income expected to grow broadly in line with EBIT; cash conversion is forecast to improve to 45%–55% (up from 39% in 2025, when free cash flow was EUR 378 million). Management expects organic U.S. dollar OE revenues to rise in the mid‑ to high‑teens, organic commercial spare‑parts growth in the low‑ to mid‑teens, MRO U.S. dollar growth in the low‑ to mid‑teens, and military revenue growth in the mid‑teens, with GTF MRO representing 40%–45% of MRO revenues. The company has hedged around 80% of its 2026 net USD exposure at an average rate of 1.13 (a EUR 0.05 USD move ≈ EUR 20 million EBIT), reports net debt of ~EUR 1.1 billion (net debt/EBITDA <1, target leverage 0.5–1.5), will propose a EUR 3.60 dividend per share (+64% y/y; 20% payout ratio toward a 40% target), and notes headwinds to 2026 free cash flow from remaining GTF compensation and a high‑double‑digit working‑capital build for the Fort Worth ramp‑up; order book stands at EUR 29.5 billion (≈3 years sold out).MTU Aero Engines Financial Statement Overview
