FTAI Aviation’s stock faced a significant drop due to a negative short report by Muddy Waters, which raised concerns over the company’s accounting practices, particularly the misclassification of one-time engine sales as recurring revenue. This report fueled bearish sentiment and led to increased trading of put options. Despite this, analysts from Morgan Stanley, BTIG, and Wolfe Research have maintained their Buy ratings, highlighting FTAI’s strengths in Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) and strategic capital initiatives. They argue that the short report’s claims lack full credibility, and FTAI’s business model remains robust, offering a unique edge through its integration of leasing, maintenance, and aftermarket services. Analysts see the stock’s decline as a potential buying opportunity, expecting future earnings growth driven by strategic partnerships and strong quarterly performance.
