Listen to the news

Airbus (ENXTPA:AIR) is back in focus after major lessors Aviation Capital Group and Avolon locked in fresh multi year commitments for A320neo and A330neo aircraft, extending visibility on future delivery pipelines.

These leasing deals arrive after a patchy year for Airbus on the market, with the share price at €194.78 and down about 5% over the past three months. At the same time, the 3 year total shareholder return of 63.22% and 5 year total shareholder return of 89.56% point to stronger longer term momentum that investors are weighing against recent delivery risks and shifting expectations around future demand.

Bulls point to Airbus securing long dated orders across single aisle, widebody and freighter programs, while bears focus on supply chain strain and execution risk. Which story does the current valuation lean toward?

Most Popular Narrative: 16% Undervalued

Against a last close of €194.78, the most followed Airbus narrative anchors on a fair value of about €231. This frames the current pullback as a potential discount rather than a clear warning sign.

Analysts expect Airbus to turn its record commercial backlog, higher targeted production rates, and explicit 2029 EBIT ambitions into stronger long-term earnings power and cash generation.

The main requirement for this scenario is effective execution of the planned industrial ramp up and Spirit integration, while keeping capex, inventories, and supply chain disruptions from eroding the expected margin and cash flow benefits.

See why 227 investors see Airbus as 16% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of €230.96 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, the Airbus story can change quickly if supply chain issues deepen or if Spirit integration costs and higher capex drag on cash generation longer than investors expect.
