AI Summary
FTAI's strategic pivot to an assetâlight SCI model plus a highâmargin Aerospace Products business meaningfully reduces residualâvalue cyclicality but concentrates the investment thesis on execution â specifically hitting 1,000 module production in 2026 with >40% margins, consistent SCI coâinvestment deployment, and sustained positive operating cash flow to cover heavy interest obligations.
