This stock currently matches 17 of our scanner strategies — each hit links to the scanner.

Only genuine hits from verified scanners count; pure ranking metrics (P/E, P/S, and similar, which just sort the whole universe) don't count as a hit. Scanners marked in red are red-flag signals (risk/short scanners) — appearing there is not a seal of approval. View all scanners

Neutral

Geprüft am 10.07.2026 gegen den Geschäftsbericht (10-K) 2025 (eingereicht 10.03.2026) und die vier jüngsten Quartalsberichte (10-Q). In den ausgewerteten SEC-Filings von Willis Lease Finance findet sich kein wesentlicher KI-Bezug. Das Geschäft ist das Leasing und der Verkauf von Ersatz-Flugzeugtriebwerken sowie der Handel mit Ersatzteilen (Segmente „Leasing and Related Operations“ und „Spare Parts Sales“) — kein KI-Produkt, keine KI-Umsatzquelle. Die einzige Erwähnung von „Artificial Intelligence“ steht im 10-K 2025 als generischer Listeneintrag in einer Aufzählung von Branchenrisiken (neben „airport access and air traffic control infrastructure constraints“) und ist eine Boilerplate-Risikofloskel ohne konkreten Bezug zum eigenen Geschäftsmodell — nach dem Kriterienkatalog kein „bedroht“-Beleg. Ebenso wenig belegen die Berichte einen operativen KI-Einsatz (kein „nutzt“). Damit bleibt es beim dokumentierten Negativ-Befund: neutral.

What Do These Terms Mean?
EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.
