What the Analysts think about AADX
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Applied Aerospace & Defense stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Applied Aerospace & Defense stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Second-quarter revenue rose 47.4% year on year, or 19.8% excluding 2026 acquisitions, and backlog reached $1.13 billion. That gives AADX a strong growth base and visibility into deliveries over the next few years. (Applied Aerospace & Defense)
Many products are sole-source and difficult to replace once qualified, while aftermarket and sustainment work adds repeat business. These features could make revenue more durable than one-off contract wins alone suggest. (CNBC)
IPO proceeds cut debt, leaving total debt at $405.8 million, pro forma net leverage around 2.7 times and $125 million available on the revolver. A lighter debt burden gives the company more room to invest in growth and handle production ramps. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
Profitability remains a concern: second-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin slipped to 21.8% from 23.2% a year earlier, while gross margin was 22.2% versus 28.2%. The large reported net loss was mainly tied to IPO costs, but weaker margins on ramping programmes still need to improve. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
Cash may lag reported earnings because long-cycle manufacturing creates unbilled work before customer milestones allow invoicing. CNBC reported unbilled receivables had risen to 34% of trailing sales, making cash conversion an important test. (CNBC)
The backlog is not guaranteed revenue: the company says customers can cancel or defer orders, and many contracts do not require minimum purchases. Customer concentration means a reduction in orders from a major account could also materially hurt results. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
