Loar: Flying At A Lower Altitude
Summary Loar Holdings has seen a 25% share price pullback despite raising its 2026 outlook and delivering strong Q1 growth. LOAR's M&A-driven expansion continues, but expensive debt financing—near 10% interest—and high leverage raise valuation concerns. Adjusted EBITDA margins rose to 40.5%, and full-year guidance was increased, yet realistic earnings multiples remain a steep 50x. While operational momentum is strong and valuation multiples have compressed, I remain cautious due to premium pricing and dilutive dealmaking.
