Stock Track
Sep 24, 2025

AAR Corp (NYSE: AIR), a provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, saw its stock plummet 5.23% in pre-market trading on Wednesday. This sharp decline comes as a surprise, given the company's recent positive news and analyst optimism.

Just after the market close on Tuesday, AAR Corp reported better-than-expected earnings for its first quarter. Adding to the positive sentiment, Truist Securities analyst Michael Ciarmoli raised the firm's price target on AAR Corp to $90 from $81, maintaining a Buy rating on the shares. The analyst's decision was based on the company's strong Q1 performance.

The stark contrast between the positive news and the stock's significant drop suggests that investors may be reacting to factors not immediately apparent in the earnings report or analyst upgrades. Possible explanations could include concerns about future guidance, broader market trends affecting the aviation sector, or profit-taking following the recent positive news. As the trading day progresses, investors will be closely watching for any additional information that might explain this unexpected downward movement in AAR Corp's stock price.
