Wasatch Global Investors Highlights Loar Holdings as Strong Performer in Q2 2026

Wasatch Global Investors highlighted Loar Holdings Inc. as a notable performance contributor in its Select Strategy Q2 2026 investor letter. The firm noted that Loar, a U.S.-based manufacturer of niche aerospace and defense components, benefited from a rally in the sector and reported record quarterly net sales. Wasatch continues to favor Loar for its growth potential, citing high barriers to entry and long aircraft lifecycles that support recurring replacement-part sales. Loar Holdings closed at $71.60 per share on July 28, 2026, with a market capitalization of $6.7 billion, though its shares lost 0.93% over the past 52 weeks.

Morgan Stanley stays bullish on aerospace and defense ahead of Q2 earnings

Morgan Stanley maintained a constructive outlook on the aerospace and defense sector ahead of second-quarter earnings, citing resilient commercial aerospace demand, improving aircraft production, and favorable long-term defense spending trends, while becoming more selective after recent stock volatility and valuation shifts. The brokerage reiterated positive views on commercial aerospace, defense, and space, highlighting durable aftermarket demand driven by sustained fleet utilization, low aircraft retirement rates, constrained maintenance capacity, and continued engine maintenance needs. It also said Boeing's production recovery is gaining momentum, with the 737 MAX running at 47 aircraft per month and further certification milestones expected to support the commercial aerospace outlook. In defense, Morgan Stanley said investors continue to underestimate the likelihood of a roughly $1.1 trillion U.S. fiscal 2027 base defense budget, arguing that supply-chain improvements and expanding missile production capacity should provide further upside for the sector. The firm also expects space companies to benefit from upcoming launch milestones, improving order trends, and NASA's commercial International Space Station procurement. Reflecting changing valuations rather than weakening fundamentals, Morgan Stanley downgraded Loar Holdings and TransDigm to Equal-weight, while cutting CAE and Voyager Technologies to Underweight. At the same time, it named FTAI Aviation as its top commercial aerospace pick, Northrop Grumman as its preferred defense stock, and HawkEye 360 as its top space investment. The brokerage also revised several price targets, lowering targets for companies including Honeywell Aerospace, VSE, Textron, StandardAero, Loar, and TransDigm, while raising targets for Heico, Curtiss-Wright, and Moog. It said the expanding universe of publicly traded aerospace and defense companies has increased investment opportunities but also requires greater selectivity.
