AerSale Leases Boeing 757-200PCF to Romanian Cargo Airline
AerSale Corp (ASLE) has announced the leasing of a Boeing 757-200PCF aircraft to Mister Air Transport, a Romanian cargo airline. The deal, finalized on October 6, 2026, allows Mister Air to operate freighter services independently under its own air operator certificate, marking a significant shift from third-party charter services. The aircraft is set to begin generating revenue in October 2026, expanding AerSale’s presence in the European cargo market.
AerSale’s financial metrics paint a mixed picture. The company’s Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio stands at 0.78, significantly below its historical median of 1.7, indicating market skepticism about future revenue growth. Traditional earnings-based valuation metrics like P/E are not applicable due to ongoing losses. AerSale’s GF Score™ is 54 out of 100, reflecting modest financial strength and profitability, weak momentum, and notable valuation strength.
Insider activity over the past 12 months shows net selling, with insiders selling shares worth $0.2 million while purchasing $0.1 million. This cautious insider sentiment contrasts with stable institutional guru ownership, where three premium gurus currently hold AerSale shares, with two increasing their positions recently.
Despite the strategic leasing deal, AerSale’s low P/S ratio and weak growth and momentum signals highlight operational challenges and market concerns about future profitability. Investors should carefully weigh these factors when considering exposure to ASLE.
