Company Research

Thesis
Loar is a diversified supplier of proprietary, mission-critical aerospace and defense components. Its economic exposure is concentrated in qualified aircraft content that generates both OEM sales and recurring aftermarket replacement demand across commercial aerospace, business/general aviation, and defense.
Opportunity
Moderate opportunity
Flight-hour growth, an aging and expanding installed aircraft base, and commercial-aircraft production recovery drive recurring demand for qualified replacement components, repairs, and aircraft-system content over long platform lives.
Key risk
Dependence on commercial aerospace production cycles.
