Material scale expansion and higher long-term margins likely lift intrinsic value; EPS accretion in year one post-close supports a constructive re-rating, though near-term levered balance sheet and integration risk may temper initial moves.
What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
AAR Corp will acquire 65% of MRO Holdings for about $4.0 billion, creating a larger heavy-maintenance MRO platform and enabling significant scale. The deal yields a pro forma EBITDA margin of roughly 16% before synergies, with $75 million of run-rate cost synergies and a target of 19–20% within 3–4 years, while delivering EPS accretion in the first full year post-close and a plan to delever toward 2.0–2.5x.
