AerSale Shares Fall as Q1 Revenue, Earnings Miss Estimates

AerSale Corp. (NASDAQ: ASLE) shares fell after the aerospace and defense company reported first-quarter 2026 results that missed Wall Street expectations for both revenue and earnings. The stock closed at $6.55 on May 13, 2026, down 10.6% from the prior close. Revenue rose 7.4% from a year earlier to $70.61 million but came in 31.1% below analyst forecasts. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.00, missing consensus estimates by $0.03. The company posted some year-over-year improvement in operating margin, but the revenue and earnings shortfalls weighed on sentiment. AerSale shares are down 9.3% year to date and trade 27.2% below their 52-week high of $9 reached in August 2025. The stock had gained 3% on April 22, 2026, amid improved sentiment toward commercial aviation following easing Middle East tensions.
