StandardAero downgraded to B- with $29.50 target as Q4 cash flow and contract asset reduction become key.

StandardAero was downgraded from A- (Strong Buy) to B- (soft Buy) with a new price target of $29.50. While Engine Services margins improved and earnings guidance rose, Component Repair underperformed and contract assets increased. The investment outlook now depends on delivering strong Q4 free cash flow between $254M and $284M and reducing contract assets to justify further gains. The company expanded its buyback authorization to $1 billion, supporting downside near $20, but leverage will temporarily exceed targets after the accelerated share repurchase (ASR).
