StandardAero delivered strong Q1 results, beating revenue and earnings expectations, and raised its 2025 outlook despite tariff headwinds. The company's diverse end markets, exclusive engine licenses, and long-term contracts underpin a resilient, growth-oriented business model. Share price volatility is driven by large shareholder divestments (Carlyle Group, GIC), not by operational weakness, creating potential buying opportunities.

StandardAero's IPO saw shares surge 36%, leading to a high valuation of around 40 times earnings, making the stock unattractive to me at current levels.
