With our focus on aviation, here are some charts highlighting what we see to date.
Business Jets
Embraer, shown by red arrows, is the leader. But its product line is Phenom 300 heavy. The Legacy and Phenom 100 are much smaller players. The reliance on one model is mirrored in commercial.
Commercial Jets
The table lists 29 deliveries YTD, significantly more than the 2Q25 report. Our count is through today, 5ive weeks since the quarter end. The key item here is that the E190-E2 is not winning market support as the E-190 once did. Another key item is the E175, once the bread and butter of Embraer’s commercial division.
The E175 is the sole new regional jet that can be deployed in the US market. The US market accounts for over 70% global regional operations. Slowing E175 deliveries should be a big concern. The Paris show saw a good SkyWest order. But Embraer needs more than this market to keep the E175 on the boil. JP Morgan states: “At this point, Embraer doesn’t expect new orders for the E175 in the short term in the US.” This is an awkward signal.
Summary
Bank of America is possibly the closest among the analysts following Embraer, and they remain supportive with a buy recommendation. They state: “We maintain our Buy rating and expect the Street to view the results favorably.” JP Morgan said, “We expect a positive reaction today due to the stronger-than-expected margins, showing the continuous improvement in the company’s profitability.”Â
Currently, this is the market’s stance on Embraer. The market seems less enamoured. The market needs more.
We have noted the slow commercial delivery rates. The backlog has grown, but production has, apparently, not kept pace.
The dependence on the E175 is a concern, as well. This model should remain a force, but even with tweaks, operators need a step change. In single-aisle aircraft, there are the NEO and MAX, but for regional jets, there’s nothing. We are aware of two technologies that could significantly impact the economics of the E175 positively. This is one of them.
Embraer needs to embrace new ideas to extend the E175. And it needs to accelerate production and deliveries as a whole. And then there’s the mysterious new airplane everyone is waiting to hear about.
