Price vs fair value The stock trades at a PREMIUM of 33.80% versus our fair-value estimate and a discount of 9.69% versus the analyst 12-month target. - Strong H1 2026 results and raised guidance cited as key drivers (GuruFocus.com, The Wall Street Journal) - Analyst target revisions lifted fair-value estimates (Simply Wall St.) - Recent factory threats in France may temper near-term sentiment (The Wall Street Journal) - High P/E (19.99) and P/B (9.30) ratios contribute to valuation concerns
Looking forward Forward P/E of 31.85 suggests elevated expectations. Growth in civil engine demand and MRO services remains a key focus. Investors should monitor defense and aerospace supply chain stability amid geopolitical risks.
