FBR Capital maintains an 'Outperform' on AerCap Holdings (NYSE: AER), PT increased to $16.50.

FBR analyst says, "We expect aircraft lessors to experience increasing demand for their aircraft, driven by two factors: (1) increasing global passenger and cargo volumes drive the need for additional aircraft; and (2) aircraft leasing continues to comprise a larger portion of total airline fleets, reflecting the financial benefits airlines gain from leasing (reduces capital and liquidity resources, residual risk is incurred by the lessor, etc.). With regard to AerCap, the company's focus on maintaining a fleet of young, newgeneration, narrow-body aircraft results in more consistent demand for its aircraft, and therefore a more stable revenue stream...adjusting our FY11 and FY12 EPS estimates to $1.85 (from $1.92) and $1.95 (from $1.92), respectively."
