CAPS Rating:

A global company that acquires and leases high-utility commercial jet aircraft to passenger and cargo airlines throughout the world.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

With a P/E of 16.08 and a dividend yield of just over 10% I believe an economic slowdown is already priced into this stock.

Would appear that the dividend is relatively "safe" with the recent increase.

Recs 0 (AYR) buygoog (< 20) Submitted: 7/01/08 11:04 AM : Start Price: $8.52 AYR Score: 2.72 Their fleet alone is worth almost triple the market cap. The company isn't going to liquidate an promises to return piles of cash to shareholders well over what the current market cap suggests. The cut in the dividend was because the company wanted to preserve capital to take advantage of firesales of planes that would come up in these times of distress. The CEO is a former high up at GECAS which is one of the largest players inthe industry. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
