Applied Aerospace & Defense, Inc.

AADX

Market cap $2.99B

Applied Aerospace & Defense trades at a demanding valuation post-IPO, with shares modestly below the $20 offer price. AADX's organic growth trajectory is unclear due to a rapid and fluid M&A history, complicating assessment of true underlying performance. Pro forma financials show 2025 revenues of $604 million, adjusted operating income of $99 million, and manageable leverage at 2.5x EBITDA post-IPO.
