Why FTAI Aviation (FTAI) Stock Is Falling Today
Shares of aircraft leasing company FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ:FTAI) fell 7.4% in the afternoon session after Muddy Waters, a research firm known for short reports and bets that stocks are overvalued, published a report on FTAI.

The research firm estimates that the majority of FTAI Aviation's adjusted EBITDA in the Aerospace Products segment comes from gains on sales, which is less recurring in nature.
