Hello do you have an update on this after earnings?

Hi Walter, earnings were fine. I'm more excited about:

1. Margin expansion in Aerospace Parts (up to 50% EBITDA margins)

2. Strategic Capital Initiative changes the nature of taking market share in the next 24 mo. and can't be understated.

3. Given their structural advantages, I see no reason they can't triple market share from here in the coming years

4. New factory in Rome is a huge step in becoming a more global brand!

Those were my takeaways.

Think we need to wait till next earnings release for the stock to move up? Kind of bummed I bought in right before the earnings report 😭

Unsure when the stock will go up, but fundamentals are still trending in a solid way. No change in confidence / position size.

Hmmm. I have to admit, I regret buying into the hype going into earnings. Down 25% now very quickly on my position sadly. I have always had a rule to avoid buying anything that’s run up into earnings, and I broke it here with FTAI. FTAI is basically trading like a levered NASDAQ stock…each day the nasdaq has dropped, FTAI has lost about 2x-3x that amount. Seems the stock has lost all short term excitement.

If you have a 1+ year perspective on FTAI then I wouldn’t get caught up on this recent drop

Yeah I guess it’s just frustrating to see what feels like an endless bid on the price….just dropping like a rock each day with the NASDAQ. You’d think it was an AI hype bubble stock.
