Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above starts from their evidence-weighted blend, not from a single model. In cyclical trough or peak years, after dilution or a stock split it is adjusted afterwards, so it can sit above or below the models. Based on fiscal year 2025 figures (about 10 months old). Earnings retained since then ($2.62 per share) are deliberately not added.Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds.Coverage ⓘCoverage = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

What shareholders gained per year (last 5 years) ⓘWhat the business itself delivers per year: earnings growth per share plus the dividend yield. This is what you get IF the market keeps valuing the stock the same way: it contains no assumption about the market changing its mind. Computed per share, so buybacks count and a merger does not pass as growth. For a company that pays no dividend it is pure earnings growth per share. Period: earnings growth per share as CAGR over the last 5 reported fiscal years (annual statements), plus the current dividend yield. The start value is the median of the three years around the start, so a single crisis year (a pandemic or a write-down) does not distort the rate.

AI conclusion: The extended United Airlines engine exchange deal strengthens aftermarket operations through added feedstock and recurring activity, yet negative cash flows and high leverage limit overall durability.
Main risk: Accelerated adoption of LEAP and GTF engines by airlines could reduce demand for CFM56 and V2500 maintenance, repair, exchange and leasing services as the installed base of legacy engines declines.
Bull case: FTAI could leverage its growing module capacity, PMA capabilities and FTAI Power conversion of retired CFM56 engines for AI data center power demand to offset any legacy aftermarket slowdown and expand into adjacent markets.
Bear case: If airlines accelerate fleet renewal toward LEAP and GTF engines faster than expected, FTAI's heavy concentration on CFM56 and V2500 platforms could lead to sharply lower volumes in its MRO exchange program and leasing activities.
FTAI Aviation just extended its engine exchange deal with United Airlines to include CFM56-7B engines on the 737NG fleet. Under the program the airline receives a serviceable replacement in days rather than months and FTAI acquires the removed unit as feedstock for its own MRO network. Our models currently see the stock as overvalued. Does the extra feedstock and recurring activity from this relationship strengthen the aftermarket business more than the asset intensity adds to execution risk?
