BE Aerospace

August 31, 2007

In our talks with analyst J.B. Groh, we found out some interesting information about BE Aerospace (BEAV), a company providing seating and interior products for aircrafts.

  •  BE is benefitting from the general trend of aircraft manufacturers moving from producing primarily narrow body aircraft to more wide-body production. Wide-body jets have more interior content, and as the shift continues, BE  gains a chance to grow sales at a much faster rate than the overall market.
  • BE’s customer list is a veritable who’s who of successful airlines: British Airways, Emirates, Qantas, Japan Airlines, and Lufthansa.
  • Mr. Groh predicts a growth rate in the high teens over the next three to five years.
  • The risk factor is that they have received cancelation of orders from some international customers. If growth were to be scaled back by these customers, it could potentially hurt them.
