2026-04-30 16:01:10 ET
Shares in FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ: FTAI) shot higher by more than 15% by 3 p.m. today after the market digested its excellent first quarter 2026 earnings report and guidance. Moreover, there's reason to believe its end-market environment could improve throughout the year.
The company's core business is Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) of legacy aircraft engines, such as CFM International's CFM56. CFM is a GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) joint venture, and FTAI and CFM have a multiyear agreement in place under which FTAI will MRO CFM56 engines; the benefit to GE Aerospace and its joint venture partner, Safran, is that they are guaranteed a market for their high-margin aftermarket equipment.
In addition, FTAI is set to launch FTAI Power in the fourth quarter of 2026, an exciting business that will convert CFM56 engines into power turbine s to power data centers.
