AEVEX Corp. posts Q3 revenue surge and lifts full‑year 2026 outlook

AEVEX Corp. reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $189.7 million, a 56.5% year‑over‑year increase, and adjusted EBITDA of $30.8 million. The company raised its full‑year 2026 revenue guidance to $820 million‑$840 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance to $128 million‑$132 million, up from prior ranges of $700 million‑$720 million and $105 million‑$111.5 million respectively. CEO Roger Wells attributed the stronger results to organic growth in Airborne Systems and the September acquisition of BlackSea Technologies, which added a Maritime Systems segment.

The higher revenue and EBITDA outlook expands the company’s growth trajectory and improves earnings visibility for investors, as reflected by a roughly 10% after‑hours share price jump. The guidance lift also suggests stronger demand for AEVEX’s autonomous defense systems.
