AerSale Q2 Revenue Plunges 34%, Misses Estimates by $10M; Guides H2 Rebound
ASLE is trading near its 52-week low of $5.56 (7.9% above the low).
Summary
AerSale's Q2 revenue cratered 34% to $70.9M, well below the $81.2M consensus, as Flight Equipment sales evaporated entirely. Adjusted EPS swung to a loss of $0.09 versus expectations of a $0.14 profit. The company attributes the shortfall to timing of Flight Equipment sales and upfront investments in labor and operations at its Goodyear and Millington facilities. Management expects a sharp H2 recovery, citing an AerSafe demand peak in Q3 ahead of an FAA deadline and a pickup in Flight Equipment sales and leasing. This follows a Q1 that showed improving revenue and narrowing losses, making the Q2 reversal a material setback. The stock, recently at $6.44, faces pressure from the miss but the H2 guidance may limit downside if execution materializes.
