Air Lease Corporation stock was valued at USD 65.00 per Class A share in the USD 7.4 billion cash transaction that took the aircraft lessor private, according to Multiples.vc. The historical deal price remains the key reference for the former listed company.
USD 7.4 billion changed ownership
The buyer group consisted of Sumitomo Corporation, SMBC Aviation Capital Limited, and investment vehicles affiliated with Apollo-managed funds and Brookfield, the same profile states. The transaction offered USD 65.00 in cash for each Class A share, giving the deal a clear per-share benchmark.
Distill Intelligence reported on September 23, 2026, that Sumisho Air Lease had completed the acquisition and had reported mixed financial results for early 2026. That completion changed the investment case from public-market price discovery to private ownership and transaction execution.
January 2026 marked the final listing month
Multiples.vc identifies January 2026 as Air Lease Corporation’s last month on record as a listed company and gives a historical market capitalization of USD 7.2 billion for that period. The profile also lists last-twelve-month revenue of USD 3 billion, placing the transaction value at 2.47 times that revenue figure.
The company’s financing remains material to the ownership transition. A September 2026 filing discussed an exchange offer covering USD 4 billion of debt, while the same filing described total debt of USD 20.3 billion, according to Stock Titan. The debt exchange equals 19.7 percent of that stated debt balance.
USD 65.00 remains the deal benchmark
The historical quote was USD 65.00 on April 8, 2026. Against the USD 65.00 cash consideration, the quoted share value matched the announced transaction price, while the USD 7.2 billion January market capitalization provides the clearest public-market scale reference.
