Bombardier expects more jet deliveries to push revenue past $10 billion in 2026, extending its post-turnaround momentum after a strong fourth quarter.
The Canadian business-jet manufacturer on Thursday said it expects to deliver more than 157 jets in 2026, surpassing its deliveries in 2025 and supporting a lift in revenue to more than $10 billion.
The expected rise is up from $9.55 billion in 2025, and above FactSet forecasts of more modest growth to $9.77 billion, driven also by improved pricing and continued growth in its services business, it said.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization are also expected to rise to at least $1.63 billion, up from $1.56 billion, but in this case below Wall Street views of a greater rise to $1.69 billion.
Free cash flow is projected to decline to between $600 million and $1 billion from $1.07 billion.
The end of the year marks also the completion of its five-year turnaround plan, which was first announced in 2021. The company ended the year with a backlog of $17.5 billion, up $3.1 billion from 2024 levels.
For the fourth quarter, Bombardier posted net income of $653 million, or $6.41 a share, up from $124 million, or $1.16 a share, in the comparable quarter a year ago.
Adjusted earnings were $4.80 a share. According to FactSet, analysts were expecting $3.40 a share.
Revenue rose to $3.69 billion from $3.11 billion, topping analysts' expectations of a more modest rise to $3.51 billion.
