Shares of Willis Lease Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: WLFC) are soaring 5.62% in pre-market trading on Tuesday following the company's announcement of record-breaking second-quarter financial results for 2025. The aircraft engine leasing specialist reported significant growth in revenue and profitability, exceeding analyst expectations.

Willis Lease Finance posted total revenue of $195.5 million for Q2 2025, marking a substantial 29.4% increase compared to the same period last year. This figure considerably surpassed the analyst consensus estimate of $143 million.

The company also reported a $43 million gain from the sale of its aviation consultancy business to a joint venture. CEO Austin C.

The strong quarterly performance and positive outlook for the aviation leasing market appear to be fueling investor optimism, contributing to the stock's pre-market surge.
