Safran posts record 2025 LEAP deliveries, lifts 2028 targets and eyes Rafale work in India

Safran reported a strong 2025 with record LEAP engine deliveries, €31.3bn revenue (+15%) and a 16.6% recurring operating margin, and raised its 2028 targets — including a plan to reach about 2,600 LEAP engines by 2028. The group also flagged growing defence activity and plans to expand Rafale component production in India.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Safran’s surge in LEAP deliveries and a raised 2028 output target (2,600 engines) eases a key narrowbody propulsion bottleneck, directly supporting Airbus and Boeing production ramps and broader signs of easing supply‑chain strains (source:89bbd199-fd5b-4f4a-9c9a-d0c266201207).

  • Strong cash generation and defence growth underpin Safran’s localisation push — expanding LEAP MRO and assembly capacity in India and signalling deeper Rafale component manufacture after recent investments and tech transfers (source:8b692227-bf56-4d80-a1fa-1d3b2d408728) (source:615f6a26-933d-4946-873c-452b3be5ab25).
