UBS has initiated coverage of Standard Aero Inc (NYSE: SARO) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $34.00, citing growth potential from aging aircraft fleets and key engine platforms, despite concerns over high valuation multiples. The company recently completed an IPO, raising $1.201 billion, while RBC Capital and JPMorgan have given more optimistic ratings, projecting significant sales growth in the engine maintenance sector. However, Standard Aero faces financial challenges, including a negative EPS and weak gross profit margins, which contribute to UBS's cautious outlook.
