About ATI Inc
ATI makes the specialty metals that go inside jet engines and airplane frames. When Boeing or Airbus builds a new plane, they need titanium and high-performance alloys that can handle extreme heat and stress. ATI is one of the few companies in America that can make these materials at scale.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- Margins Soaring
ATI just posted its best quarterly cash flow in 15 years, with operating cash flow jumping 221 million dollars year over year. Profit margins expanded to 20.1%, up from 17% a year ago. Adjusted earnings per share jumped 39%, and management raised full year guidance across the board.
- Jet Engine Juggernaut
Aerospace and defense now drives 93% of ATI's high performance segment, and commercial jet engine sales grew 8% this quarter. With Boeing and Airbus sitting on record aircraft backlogs and defense budgets at all-time highs, ATI's specialty metals are essentially pre-sold for years.
- Concentration Risk
About 70% of ATI's revenue comes from aerospace and defense. If Boeing has another production stumble or airlines cut back on plane orders, ATI feels the pain directly. That's a lot of eggs in one basket.
- Pricey Stock
The stock has run hard on this aerospace boom, and the valuation reflects nearly perfect execution ahead. Total quarterly sales only grew 1%, so any hiccup in aerospace deliveries or a softer specialty energy market could squeeze the multiple fast.
