Aerospace cycles are tricky, as investors in stocks like Honeywell (NYSE:HON), Rockwell Collins (NYSE:COL), and Safran (OTCPK:SAFRY) can attest, but Meggitt (OTCPK:MEGGY)
has had more challenges than most. Margins are on a four-year slide,
and investors are rightly concerned as to whether a wave of fleet
retirements will sap demand for lucrative spare parts and whether recent
M&A transactions will generate acceptable returns on the capital
invested.
I think Meggitt is growing through a
transitional period, as new original equipment programs ramp up, but I
believe the business can return to a more normal margin/FCF footing in
the coming years. That said, the shares already seem to anticipate such a
recovery and M&A is really the only driver I can see that would
drive significantly better results in the near term.
