Magellan AerospaceMAL.TOTOP PICKJun 18, 2026Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Aug 18, 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%.
We again reiterate MAL as a TOP PICK. The Canadian company sees its defense industry products having lots of runway ahead. Recently reported earnings showed a 52% increase in net income over the year, growing cash reserves and they plan to continue to buy back shares. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $22) to $26, looking to achieve $41 -- upside potential over 30%. Yield 0.6%
(Analysts’ price target is $41.50)
