Magellan AerospaceMAL.TOHOLDMay 25, 2017Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Aug 14, 2026. Market Open.
High insider ownership, so company is relatively undiscovered. One investor owns more than 50% of the company -- so it doesn't screen well for institutional investors. Business is booming.
Defense (~30% of its business, and he anticipates 45-50% in future) and aerospace. Good backlog. Seeing record requests for proposals, especially on defense. Huge operating leverage to get higher margins, which will increase FCF. One of the cheapest in the sector within NA. Yield is 0.83%.
The stock is cheap, and acting better. The sector (in the US, mostly) has been seeing some good numbers recently. It hit a 52-week high this week. We think it can be held, and >$10 is possible, even $12 under good conditions. $16 we think would be a stretch.

He really likes this company. The multiple is very low. When he recommended it in the past, it was about 10X earnings. You only have to get a couple of multiple readings above that to get a much, much higher stock price. Last quarter wasn’t great, but thinks the cash flow generation is still there. The problem is that it is very illiquid, so for individuals it is a good one to own, but for institutions it is difficult.
