Airbus SE

Stocks in the United States are off to a choppy but positive start to the year, but the biggest story in markets so far in 2025 has been strength out of Europe.
Stock indices in England, France, and Germany have made new all-time highs in 2025, outpacing the modest gains from US stocks. The Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF is up more than 8% over the last three months, while the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF has traded flat.
Here&#8217;s how to get in on this rally.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="415" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181506/image7-1024x415.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800481" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181506/image7-1024x415.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181506/image7-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181506/image7-768x311.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181506/image7.png 1318w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The Stoxx 600 index, which covers markets across the bloc, made several new all-time highs in February, led by a surge from the defense sector. Is this finally the year that European stocks beat their American counterparts? With the United States threatening to pull back from Europe, these tailwinds may have more room to run, especially if the EU follows through on defense spending expansion.
Today we'll look at six European stocks that could continue outperforming in 2025. Some of these companies are available to US investors through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) or on over-the-counter (OTC) exchanges, so be sure to understand how these assets and markets function before putting any capital to work.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>)</h2>
Danish healthcare giant Novo Nordisk is responsible for Wegovy and Ozempic, two of the prescription GLP-1 medications taking the world by storm. Both are different forms of semaglutide, as Wegovy is FDA-approved for weight loss while Ozempic is only approved for Type 2 diabetes. Demand for these drugs has been so strong that shortages have been common, but the FDA recently announced that Wegovy and Ozempic are no longer on their shortage list.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="416" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181516/image1-1024x416.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800482" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181516/image1-1024x416.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181516/image1-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181516/image1-768x312.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181516/image1.png 1316w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Novo Nordisk suffered a lost year in 2024 during the shortage, losing ground to Eli Lilly's Mounjaro and Zepbound. However, the company is still the top player in the GLP-1 space and posted solid revenue (8.1%) and earnings (9.6%) growth in the most recent report for Q4 2024.
The company's margins are also the envy of European drug makers: 34.8% gross, far outpacing EU competitors AstraZeneca (13%) and Roche (17.5%). NVO also sits on a formidable $9.8 billion cash pile. NVO shares have been choppy since the start of 2025, but the company issued strong guidance and is well-positioned to rebound after a rough 2024.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unilever PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UL#NYSE">UL</a>)</h2>
Unilever is a global consumer and household products company that markets itself under popular brands such as Ben and Jerry's, Axe, Dove, Breyers, Vaseline, and many more. The firm has offices in over 80 countries, but its headquarters has been in London for more than 100 years.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="417" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181610/image6-1024x417.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800488" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181610/image6-1024x417.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181610/image6-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181610/image6-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181610/image6.png 1310w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Uncertainty is beginning to weigh on investors as US consumer discretionary stocks have been tumbling for most of February while consumer staples surge higher. There's some evidence that businesses and consumers have been pulling forward demand on tariff threats, which could further boost the staples sector if big-ticket items have been already purchased and consumers focus on necessities over luxuries.
UL has a strong cash position and healthy margins to take advantage of this trend; it's also cheaper in terms of forward price-to-earnings and price-to-sales rates than American counterparts like Proctor and Gamble, Kimberly-Clark, and Colgate-Palmolive.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>)</h2>
Now, on to the defense contractors, who have been leading the European rally due to expectations that EU governments will ramp up defense spending to counter the growing influence of China and Russia in the East. Companies like Rheinmetall AG have stolen the headlines with substantial early 2025 gains, but Airbus might be the best buy of the group going forward.Now, on to the defense contractors, who have been leading the European rally due to expectations that EU governments will ramp up defense spending to counter the growing influence of China and Russia in the East.

Airbus is under the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co. (EADS) umbrella and has a market cap of $139 billion, nearly $33 billion more than its closest competitor, Safran SA. Airbus has a cheaper valuation than Safran or Rheinmetall and a healthier free cash flow pile ($3.9 billion). Airbus might not be lagging in the European defense sector for much longer.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BNP Paribas SA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNPQY#OTC">BNPQY</a>)</h2>
BNP Paribas is a French bank and component of the CAC40, the country&#8217;s primary stock index. With a market value of over $80 billion, it is double the size of other European banking competitors like Societe Generale and Deutsche Bank.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="417" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181526/image2-1024x417.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800483" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181526/image2-1024x417.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181526/image2-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181526/image2-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181526/image2.png 1310w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
BNP Paribas is attractive for several reasons, none more so than the 7.03 forward P/E ratio and 1.22 P/S ratio. Many European banks have extremely affordable valuations, but BNP offers the security of a large-cap with the upside of a smaller company. Plus, the 5% dividend yield is a nice bonus for investors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hermes International ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HESAY#OTC">HESAY</a>)</h2>
If one luxury brand can survive a consumer slowdown, it might be Hermes International, the high-end French brand with a nearly $300 billion market cap and some of the most desirable handbags in the world. In addition to handbags, Hermes sells clothing for men and women, equestrian products like saddles and bridles, jewelry, perfumes, watches, and tableware.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="417" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181535/image3-1024x417.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800484" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181535/image3-1024x417.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181535/image3-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181535/image3-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181535/image3.png 1310w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Hermes has a pricey valuation compared to European competitors like Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Burberry, but the free cash pile is large ($5.38 billion) and the 30% profit margin dwarfs them all. The stock is up more than 38% in the last three months alone, but the fundamentals are strong, and the stock is comfortably above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of 55.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ABB Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBNY#OTC">ABBNY</a>)</h2>
ABB Ltd. is a multinational robotics and automation solutions company incorporated in Switzerland and Sweden. The company has several divisions of interest to the defense and aeronautics sector, such as Electrification, Process Automation, and Robotics and Discrete Automation. The stock has a market cap of just under $102 billion and pays a 1.7% dividend yield.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="414" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181543/image4-1024x414.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800485" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181543/image4-1024x414.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181543/image4-300x121.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181543/image4-768x311.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181543/image4.png 1305w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
ABB Ltd. currently sits on a $4.2 billion cash pile and a forward P/E ratio of 22.6, with a profit margin of 11.9%. The stock has been range-bound since spring 2024 and recently dipped down to its 50-day moving average. If the 50-day proves to be a support level, the next leg higher for ABBNY shares could be right around the corner.

Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>) reported fourth-quarter <a href="https://www.airbus.com/en/investors/financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revenue </a>rising 8% year-over-year to 24.716 billion euros, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">above the consensus of 24.567 billion euros.</a>
EBIT Adjusted for the quarter rose by 16%, driven by higher commercial aircraft deliveries, reduced R&amp;D expenses, and strong performance in Airbus Helicopters&#8217; programs and services.
Earning per share was 3.07 euros, up from 1.85 euros YoY, beating the consensus of 2.43 euros.
Quarterly sales by segments: Airbus 17.767 billion euros (+9% YoY), Airbus Helicopters 3.066 billion euros (+15% YoY), and Airbus Defence and Space 4.473 billion euros (+3% YoY).
Order intake for the year fell to 103.5 billion euros (2023: 186.5 billion euros), while the order book grew to 629 billion euros (2023: 554 billion euros), driven by a book-to-bill ratio above 1 and a stronger U.S. dollar.
&#8220;We achieved strong order intake across all businesses in 2024, with a book-to-bill well above 1, confirming the solid demand for our products and services. We delivered on our 2024 guidance in what was a testing year for Airbus,&#8221; said Guillaume Faury, Airbus Chief Executive Officer.
For fiscal 2024, Consolidated revenue rose 6% YoY to 69.2 billion euros, driven by higher commercial aircraft deliveries (766 vs. 735 in 2023), with Airbus&#8217; commercial aircraft revenue up 6% to 50.6 billion euros.
2024 Segment Performance: Airbus Helicopters&#8217; revenue grew 8% to 7.9 billion euros with 361 deliveries (2023: 346), while Airbus Defence and Space revenue increased 5% to 12.1 billion euros, supported by Air Power, with seven A400M deliveries.
Airbus stated that the A320 Family ramp-up continues, targeting 75 aircraft per month by 2027, while A330 production stabilizes at four per month. Supply chain challenges, especially with Spirit AeroSystems, are impacting A350 and A220 ramp-ups.
The A350 targets 12 per month by 2028, with its freighter variant now expected in H2 2027, while the A220 aims for 14 per month in 2026.
The company recorded a 121 million euro charge for the A400M program due to contract updates and production risks. The company is evaluating order impacts on manufacturing, while technical qualification risks remain stable from 2023.
Dividend: The company stated that its Board will propose a 2.00 euro per share dividend and a 1.00 euro special dividend for 2024, with payment set for April 24, 2025, pending approval at the April 15 AGM.
The company expects no major disruptions to trade, economy, air traffic, supply chain, or operations, excluding potential new tariffs. Spirit AeroSystems integration impact is factored in, assuming a July 1, 2025, closing.
2025 Outlook: Airbus aims for ~820 commercial aircraft deliveries, ~7.0 billion euros in EBIT Adjusted, and ~ 4.5 billion euros in Free Cash Flow <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">before Customer Financing.</a>

Airbus Q4 Earnings: Revenue Surges 8%, Order Intake Value Declines And More

Outlook&nbsp;
As the basis for its 2025 guidance, the Company assumes no additional disruptions to global trade or the world economy, air traffic, the supply chain, the Company's internal operations, and its ability to deliver products and services. The guidance excludes the impact of potential new tariffs on the Company's business. The Company's 2025 guidance includes the impact of the integration of certain Spirit AeroSystems work packages on its EBIT Adjusted and Free Cash Flow before Customer Financing, based on preliminary estimates and a closing assumption as of 1 July 2025.&nbsp;
On that basis, the Company targets to achieve in 2025:&nbsp;
● Around 820 commercial aircraft deliveries;
● EBIT Adjusted of around € 7.0 billion;&nbsp;
● Free Cash Flow before Customer Financing of around € 4.5 billion. Preliminary assumptions of the impact of the integration of certain Spirit AeroSystems work packages:&nbsp;
● EBIT Adjusted: broadly neutral;&nbsp;
● Free Cash Flow before Customer Financing: mid triple digit negative; Net cash broadly neutral as the compensation to be received from Spirit AeroSystems will offset the FCF negative impact.

Triumph Group, Inc. (TRIUMPH) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGI#NYSE">TGI</a>) Actuation Products and Services business delivered over $28M in aftermarket shipments in its Fiscal Year to date in support of Boeing 787 and Airbus A380 Landing Gear overhaul activity, the highest level achieved to date. TRIUMPH designed, provides, and services the entire landing gear hydraulic actuation suite for both the B787 and A380 aircraft. TRIUMPH's Boeing 787 landing gear system includes nose wheel steering, extend and retract actuation, truss bracing, truck positioning, uplocks, door actuation, control valves and a ground service panel.
As early production units of the Boeing 787 fleet reach 12 years in service, demand for mandatory heavy landing gear overhaul requirements is triggered. Over 500 aircraft are expected to be inducted over the next 5 years for landing gear maintenance. The expanded use of the A380 platform in support of increasing commercial air traffic also benefitted TRIUMPH's aftermarket sales, particularly for wing landing gear and body landing gear actuation components.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

European aerospace companies are bracing for &#8220;very strong&#8221; protectionism in the United States as Donald Trump prepares to take office. Guillaume Faury, CEO of Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>), voiced his concerns about the potential impact on the industry.
What Happened: Faury, who also leads France&#8217;s GIFAS aerospace association, noted that supply chains are still recovering from the pandemic&#8217;s disruptions, Reuters reported on Thursday. While the European aerospace sector is witnessing robust demand for commercial aircraft and increased defense spending, it faces challenges like overcapacity and job reductions in the satellite industry.
As Trump&#8217;s inauguration approaches, the industry anticipates a significant shift toward protectionism. Trump has previously threatened tariffs on foreign goods to prioritize American interests. Faury also pointed out the European defense sector&#8217;s struggle with financing shortages, despite ongoing conflicts such as the one in Ukraine.
He urged the French government, led by Prime Minister Francois Bayrou, to maintain support for research on emissions reduction and to ease corporate charges, warning against repeating past mistakes seen in other industries.
Why It Matters: The prospect of a Trump presidency has raised concerns in Europe about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/41819604/trump-presidency-raises-concerns-about-european-recession">potential for a new round </a>of tariffs, which could trigger an economic recession. Analysts have issued pessimistic outlooks for European economic growth following Trump&#8217;s election victory.
Trump&#8217;s win has also sparked a &#8220;reshoring&#8221; rally, with stocks of companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41857487/exclusive-trump-victory-triggers-reshoring-rally-as-supply-chain-security-outweighs-cost">focused on bringing production</a> back to the U.S. surging sharply. This trend is driven by expectations of protectionist policies.
Furthermore,&nbsp;Goldman Sachs&nbsp;analysts have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42888800/goldman-sachs-flags-market-correction-risk-as-inflation-trump-policies-stir-uncertainty">flagged a near 30% probability</a> of market corrections due to rising inflation pressures, trade tensions, and political uncertainty ahead of Trump&#8217;s second term. These factors could lead to deeper market volatility and weaker forward returns for equities.

French Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces a critical vote of no confidence tomorrow (Dec. 4) after invoking Article 49.3 to pass a controversial 2025 austerity budget <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/france">without parliamentary approval</a>.
The move, designed to address France's soaring deficit with $42 billion in spending cuts and $21 billion in tax hikes, has polarized the fractured National Assembly. Marine Le Pen's National Rally and the leftist New Popular Front have united in opposition, calling for Barnier's ouster. In on interview on TV today, Barnier warned that if the motion succeeds, millions of French citizens could face economic instability, including rising interest rates and tax hikes, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/dec/03/france-no-confidence-motion-government-budget-michel-barnier-latest-updates">per</a> the Guardian.
A failure to secure support would result in Barnier's government being the shortest-lived in modern French history, he only took office in September, further destabilizing the eurozone. President Emmanuel Macron would then need to appoint a new prime minister to navigate the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39657677/french-elections-take-a-surprising-turn-as-left-poised-for-victory-what-does-that-mean-for-the-marke">deeply divided parliament</a>.
France has often been a volatile market for foreign companies, but its size, manpower, favorable geographical position, and pole position in global tourism have made it a lucrative economy.
The following publicly listed companies have exposure to the French economy.
McDonald's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) has been operating in France since 1972. Since then, it has grown into a network of 1,485 restaurants — the most in Europe — generating billions in revenue. However, the franchise got caught evading taxes after a trade union asked the company to raise wages and introduce profit-sharing bonuses. Eventually, the firm <a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/news/22/06/27724606/mcdonalds-agrees-to-settle-french-tax-case-for-1-3b-wsj">paid a $1.3 billion fine</a>.
Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) opened its resort in Paris in 1992, growing it into one of the top attractions in Europe. Around 16.1 million tourists visited the park in 2023, generating $343 million in profits. The park is the largest single-site employer in the country, with 17,000 workers — making it prone to strikes that last occurred in 2023. Despite its popularity, the park has been a problematic part of Disney's portfolio and is often a drain on its resources.
IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) has a long-standing relationship with France as one of the IT pioneers that expanded overseas seeking foreign talent.  Nowadays, IBM has over 7,000 employees in the country, working on technology services, cloud computing, AI and digital transformation solutions for businesses.
Carmaker Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) has a vital presence in the country, owing to its origins in the French PSA Group. It is the fourth largest automotive firm by sales, managing established brands like Citroen, Peugeot and DS Automobiles. Stellantis currently has five operating factories in different regions, producing at least 14 different models.
For investors monitoring broad exposure to domestically incorporated French companies there is iShares MSCI France ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWQ#NYSE">EWQ</a>). It holds 60 largest French companies, including market leaders such as LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVMUY#OTC">LVMUY</a>), Schneider Electric, TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) and Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>).

Key Stocks, ETF To Watch As French Government Faces No-Confidence Vote

The commercial aerospace sector is gaining altitude, driven by surging demand for passenger travel, robust freight activity, and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">resurgence in aircraft orders</a>.
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak, CFA, air traffic recovery is exceeding expectations, with growth now outpacing GDP by more than double. 
The sector&#8217;s strong fundamentals, buoyed by tight supply chains and rising aftermarket revenues, are positioning key aerospace stocks for a significant takeoff.
Here&#8217;s what you need to know — and the top stocks analysts say you should have on your radar.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Air Traffic Surpasses Pre-Pandemic Levels</h3>
&#8220;The overall commercial aerospace market is fundamentally strong,&#8221; said Poponak in a note Thursday. 
Global passenger traffic continues its remarkable climb as international air traffic jumped 9% year-over-year (yoy) in September, following an 11% yoy increase in August, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Passenger capacity rose in lockstep, up 9% and 10% yoy, respectively.
Goldman Sachs forecasts another 9% yoy gain for October based on airline reports. 
Forward airline schedules indicate that global passenger capacity will grow by 6% to 7% year-over-year through November, December, and January, reflecting sustained demand as travel appetite remains strong.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Freight Market Delivers Double-Digit Growth</h3>
The recovery isn't limited to passengers. International freight traffic surged 11% yoy in September, following a 12% yoy gain in August, with freight capacity expanding by 8% yoy in both months. 
Major cargo players FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) also saw gains, with UPS reporting 11% yoy growth and FedEx posting a 3% yoy increase in global air cargo traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing, Airbus Rack Up Orders</h3>
Large commercial jet manufacturers are riding the wave of demand. In October alone, Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) secured 63 new orders, while Airbus SE (OTCPK: EADSY) booked 82 aircraft orders—both with zero cancellations. 
&#8220;New aircraft order campaigning activity appears to remain robust, for both growth and replacement,&#8221; Poponak wrote. 
Parked aircraft, which currently make up 11.8% of the total global fleet, remained flat month-over-month, further reflecting high utilization levels as airlines capitalize on the recovery in passenger and freight traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs' Top Stock Picks</h3>
Goldman Sachs&#8217; Poponak highlighted 11 buy-rated stocks that stand to benefit from the industry's resurgence. These include large aircraft manufacturers, component suppliers, and business jet producers.

Aerospace Ready To Take Off: Goldman Sachs Reveals 11 Top Picks In The Sector

<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-19/airbus-ceo-says-year-end-delivery-goal-is-a-tough-journey">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-19/airbus-ceo-says-year-end-delivery-goal-is-a-tough-journey</a>
Airbus SE Chief Executive Officer Guillaume Faury said that hitting a goal of 770 aircraft deliveries this year will be a sprint over the final weeks as the planemaker pushes to reach an already reduced target.
"I've seen too many years where we had the last minute," Faury said in an interview in Brussels, where he was attending a conference. "It's a tough journey and we're a bit late compared to what we were expecting. 770 is still our reference and we're working against that reference, and hopefully it's going to work."

Vietnam Airlines plans to issue requests for proposals in 2025 to acquire 50 new narrowbody jets, according to CEO Le Hong Ha. 
What Happened: The national carrier previously signed a provisional agreement with Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) for 50 737 MAX jets, but a final decision has yet to be reached as other manufacturers, including Airbus (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSF#OTC">EADSF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>) and China's COMAC, remain in contention, Reuters reported. 
Vietnam Airlines currently operates a narrowbody fleet exclusively composed of Airbus models. With the airline projecting a need for 170 new aircraft by 2035, COMAC&#8217;s C919 could also be considered amid growing interest from Chinese manufacturers in the Vietnamese market.
