Why Is AAR CORP (AIR) Stock Down Today?

By the Top Tier Newswire AI Desk · July 22, 2026 at 9:45 AM ET · reviewed against 7 wire stories

Why AIR stock is down today

AAR Corp. stock fell 9.77% to $127.55 on Monday, marking a sharp decline from the previous session. The drop followed a $141.40 close on Friday, as the stock opened at $132.00, a 6.6% gap down. The stock reached an intraday high of $138.89 at 9:30 AM ET before falling to a low of $125.42 shortly after. The move came amid the release of the company’s Q4 FY2026 earnings report and guidance for FY2027.

What Happened

AAR Corp. reported Q4 FY2026 results, including non-GAAP EPS of $1.53, which beat estimates by $0.15, and revenue of $928 million, up 23% year-over-year. The company also provided FY2027 guidance, projecting low double-digit to low teens sales growth. Despite these positive results, the stock opened significantly lower, suggesting market participants may have been focused on the guidance for Q1 FY2027, which excluded legacy commercial programs and projected growth of 21% to 23%. The earnings call highlighted record sales, EBITDA, and EPS, as well as strategic initiatives like Airvoyant AI and a recent win with Woodward. The SEC 8-K filing on July 21 provided additional details on the company’s financial results and operations.

What The Data Shows

The stock’s intraday performance showed a sharp decline after the market open, with volume reaching 0.1 million shares. The gap down from Friday’s close indicates a potential shift in sentiment overnight, possibly influenced by the earnings report and guidance. The stock’s price action suggests a bearish reaction to the earnings news, despite the company reporting strong results and positive momentum in key areas.

What To Watch

The company has not scheduled an earnings date for the current quarter. Investors should monitor the breadth of coverage and market reaction to the guidance provided in the Q4 FY2026 earnings call.
