BOC Aviation (SEHK:2588): Valuation Check After New Airbus A350-1000 Lease Deal with Philippine Airlines

The market seems to be rewarding this steady pipeline of long term leases, with the share price at HK$74.0 and a robust year to date share price return of 26.71 percent, while the 5 year total shareholder return of 43.10 percent points to durable, if measured, compounding momentum.
If this kind of steady aviation exposure appeals, it could be worth widening the lens and exploring aerospace and defense stocks as another way to uncover transport linked opportunities.
Yet with shares already up strongly this year and trading below, but not far from, analyst targets, the real question now is whether BOC Aviation is still mispriced value or if the market is already discounting its next leg of growth.
Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 12.9% Undervalued
With the narrative fair value sitting meaningfully above the last close at HK$74.0, the focus shifts to whether long term cash generation can close that gap.
Ongoing fleet modernization, with a record orderbook heavily weighted to new, fuel efficient aircraft, positions BOC Aviation to benefit from replacement cycles and environmental compliance trends, supporting higher lease rates and improving net margins.
Curious how steady, rather than explosive, revenue growth and moderating margins can still justify a richer earnings multiple than the wider sector? The full narrative unpacks the cash flow path, the assumed profitability reset, and the valuation bridge that turns those forecasts into a higher present day fair value.
Result: Fair Value of $85.00 (UNDERVALUED)

However, a prolonged high rate environment or a sharper than expected air travel slowdown could pressure refinancing costs, utilization, and the optimistic earnings trajectory.
