12:10 PM EDT, 08/14/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
Our unchanged 12-month target of USD68 is 22.9x our 2026 EPS estimate, which is a premium to ERJ's two-year average forward P/E of 16.4x but a discount to peers, which are trading at an average forward P/E of 26.4x. We lower our 2025 earnings per ADS estimate by BRL5.73 to BRL4.76 and our 2026 EPS forecast by BRL0.09 to BRL16.01. We believe ERJ's valuation premium to its own history is justified by its improving fundamentals, and we see room for further re-rating toward peer levels as it continues to execute. Our Buy recommendation is based on Embraer's ( ERJ ) powerful earnings momentum, driven by a robust commercial aerospace cycle and exceptional demand in its Executive Aviation segment. The company's record USD29.7 billion backlog provides outstanding revenue visibility for the next several years. Furthermore, the balance sheet has been transformed, with net debt (ex-Eve) ending Q2 at USD688.7 million, down from USD1.31 billion a year earlier, which de-risks the story and provides capital allocation flexibility.
