Here is what Horos Asset Management has to say about AerCap Holdings N.V. (NYSE:AER) in its Q1 2022 investor letter:
“Subsequently, as Russian attacks in Ukraine have intensified and spread, the pressure through sanctions on Russia has been increasing, with measures ranging from freezing the assets of Russian oligarchs to the decision not to purchase certain commodities from this country.33 Obviously, the increasing and varied sanctions, the instability (for lack of a better word) in the Black Sea area, and even civic pressure, have generated an environment of uncertainty that is unbearable for many global companies, making it impossible for them to do business in Russia and Ukraine. Take, for example, the case of AerCap, the aircraft leasing company in which we have been shareholders for many years. Well, as a result of sanctions issued by the European Union and the United States, AerCap cannot accept payments from any Russian airline, so 5% of its fleet (in terms of net book value) has “suddenly” stopped generating revenue.”
