FTAI Aviation Ltd shares rose by 3.03% today, reaching a new 52-week high. This increase is attributed to the company's recent announcement regarding the launch of FTAI Power, which aims to produce 25-megawatt turbines from CFM56 aircraft engines.
The surge in stock price is due to the positive market response to FTAI Aviation's unveiling of FTAI Power, which is expected to meet the growing electricity demands of AI-driven data centers. The company plans to produce over 100 turbines annually, leveraging its existing fleet of CFM56 engines, which positions it favorably in the rapidly expanding power market.
This development not only highlights FTAI Aviation's strategic move into the power sector but also reflects the increasing investor confidence in the company's growth potential as it adapts to market demands.

According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for FTAI is 236.83 USD with a low forecast of 200.00 USD and a high forecast of 270.00 USD.

The company's multi-year agreement with CFM International to support CFM56 engines validates FTAI's approach and suggests CFM is adapting to market realities rather than competing head-to-head, the analyst tells investors in a research note. FTAI now has partnerships with both major narrowbody engine OEMs: CFM International for CFM56 engines and Pratt & Whitney (RTX) for V2500 engines, the firm added.
