Air Lease (AL) Q2 Net Income Soars 314%
Air Lease (NYSE:AL), a leading global aircraft leasing company, released its earnings for the second quarter of 2025 on August 4, 2025. The most notable development was a dramatic jump in GAAP net income for Q2 2025, largely due to a special insurance recovery linked to aircraft losses in Russia. The company’s GAAP revenue reached $731.7 million, beating analyst expectations by $18.2 million, while adjusted earnings per share landed at $1.40, outpacing the $0.81 non-GAAP estimate. Diluted earnings per share were $3.33, reflecting one-time gains. Overall, the quarter was defined by strong ongoing fleet fundamentals, robust global demand for leased aircraft, and a one-off profit boost from the insurance settlement.
