Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Leonardo's 5.1% orders uptick versus 2024 confirms continued demand for its rotorcraft range and services, a key driver of near‑term revenue and backlog.

  • GAMA's revised 2025 helicopter shipments and billings were updated after adding Leonardo's data, a change that alters rotorcraft delivery and revenue comparisons and OEM rankings (GAMA update).

  • Recent program and corporate developments — including the UK AW149 contract and the planned aerostructures JV — will materially affect Leonardo's production capacity, backlog profile and profitability outlook (AW149 contract, aerostructures JV process).
