SABA Members Sign Long-Term SAF Deals Backing Infinium's Project Atlas

Summary · why it matters

The Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance announced commitments from its members to purchase sustainable aviation fuel certificates tied to Infinium Energy's Project Atlas, a Texas-based eSAF facility expected to produce approximately 100,000 metric tons of SAF annually. AVEVA, Bain & Company, Google, McKinsey and others backed the procurement, which SABA said is the first-ever application of its approach to drive new production of high-integrity SAF by focusing on projects moving toward final investment decision. Infinium submitted its winning proposal jointly with American Airlines, which will take physical delivery of the fuel and oversee logistics, and contracted volumes are expected to support greenhouse gas abatement of over 212,000 mtCO2e, equivalent to the emissions of over 3,500 JFK to LAX commercial flights. To date, SABA has aggregated $500 million in demand for SAFc from over 35 member companies, and with the binding multi-year offtake agreements in hand, Infinium said it is well positioned to advance to final investment decision and secure financing to build the facility. Infinium also plans to sell RFNBO compliant eSAF from the facility into European regulatory markets.

HEICO Bull Case in Focus as Analysts Lift Estimates After Strong Q3 2026 Results

HEICO's investment case is drawing renewed attention after analysts raised their earnings estimates for the aerospace and defense supplier, citing strong revenue growth, expanding market share and healthy free cash flow. The company's most relevant recent announcement was its Q3 2026 earnings release, which reported higher sales and earnings year on year. HEICO's narrative projects $7.1 billion in revenue and $1.3 billion in earnings by 2029, yielding a fair value estimate of $393.95, a 30% upside to its current price. Some of the lowest ranked analysts remain cautious, assuming revenue of about US$6.1 billion and earnings near US$1.0 billion by 2029, and see 3D printing and customer insourcing as real threats to HEICO's pricing power. The sharp share price pullback and high valuation keep sentiment fragile, while the biggest risk remains pressure on its aftermarket share from OEMs and changing customer behavior.

RTX CEO Touts $289 Billion Backlog, Sees Growth to $460.5 Billion by 2028

RTX CEO Chris Calio highlighted the company's record $289 billion backlog, or remaining performance obligations, at the Morgan Stanley 14th Annual Laguna Conference last week, pointing to potential growth toward a Wall Street consensus of $460.5 billion by the end of 2028. Calio said the $289 billion RPO at the end of the second quarter does not include the recently awarded $22.9 billion seven-year Tomahawk cruise missile order or the five framework agreements RTX made with the Department of Defense in February, of which he said volumes will rise anywhere from 2 to 4x. The current RPO is split between $170 billion in commercial aerospace and $119 billion in defense, with only 25% set to be recognized in the next 12 months, and Calio noted that approximately 45% of the RPO relates to long-term commercial aerospace maintenance contracts at Pratt & Whitney expected to be realized over a span of up to 20 years. Calio also cited strength in orders across commercial aerospace original equipment, commercial aerospace aftermarket, and defense, noting that Boeing and Airbus have a 15,000 aircraft backlog to execute on and that demand for integrated air and missile defense is top of mind for every country around the world.

American, United and Southwest Cut Flights as Q4 Fuel Costs Jump $1B

American Airlines, United Airlines and Southwest Airlines are scaling back or reconsidering planned flight schedules as jet fuel prices surge, a move that could leave travelers with fewer flight options and potentially higher fares heading into the holiday season. For American, the latest jump in fuel prices alone is expected to add roughly $1 billion to its fourth-quarter fuel costs compared with the assumptions it made in July, after fourth-quarter fuel prices rose by roughly $1 per gallon from that July level, according to CFO Devon May, who noted that every one-cent change in fuel prices affects quarterly costs by about $10 million. United has already said some flights scheduled for December will no longer operate and warned of additional adjustments in the first quarter of 2027 and beyond if fuel prices remain elevated, while Southwest has roughly halved its planned 2026 capacity growth from an original target of about 2% to 3%, with its CFO saying further reductions could follow. The International Air Transport Association reported the global average jet fuel price rose 7.4% to $194.90/bbl from the week before, and its June outlook noted that airlines could rationalize capacity by trimming less-profitable routes or reducing flight frequencies. Executives from all three carriers said demand has remained resilient despite higher fares, and that combination of strong demand and less available capacity can give airlines more ability to maintain or increase fares.
