MTU Aero Engines AG·Industrials

MTU Aero Engines (MTUAY, MTUAF) remains a strong buy, with recent share price declines creating a more attractive long-term entry point. 2025 delivered 16% sales growth and 29% EBIT growth, with margins reaching 15.5%—years ahead of 2030 targets, despite GTF-related headwinds. 2026 guidance calls for 8.6% sales growth and 3.7% EBIT growth, with margin compression from higher GTF mix and ramp-up costs, but free cash flow could rise 19–45%.

MTU Aero Engines AG (MTUAY) Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript

The aircraft-engine manufacturer forecasts higher revenue this year with particularly strong gains in its commercial series business.

MTU Aero Engines forecast 2026 revenue and profit above analyst expectations on Tuesday, betting on sustained high demand for its engine maintenance services as issues with Pratt & Whitney's GTF engines are expected to keep shop visits more frequent.

MTU Aero Engines AG remains a Strong Buy, with a base case price target of $544.25 and significant undervaluation versus aerospace peers. Despite recent underperformance, MTUAF's improved EBITDA and free cash flow CAGRs, plus a net cash position, highlight robust fundamentals and upside potential. MTUAF's diversified commercial and military engine portfolio underpins growth, with OEM sales driving high-margin aftermarket opportunities.
