Winston Score History

The full picture

Air Lease Corporation buys commercial aircraft and leases them to airlines around the world. Its customers are passenger and cargo airlines that prefer to rent planes rather than buy them outright — this saves airlines from spending billions upfront on new jets. Air Lease works with manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus to order planes in bulk, then places those aircraft with carriers across more than 50 countries.

The company makes money by collecting monthly lease payments from airlines over multi-year contracts, similar to how a landlord collects rent. It operates globally, with a large portion of its fleet placed in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, and its fleet was valued at roughly $25 billion in assets. Its competitive edge comes from its large order book with manufacturers, which gives it access to newer, fuel-efficient aircraft that airlines want. The main risk is that a slowdown in air travel demand — or airline bankruptcies — could reduce lease income and leave planes sitting idle.

Cash watch

Air Lease Corporation has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.
