AI CONVICTION THESIS

CAE is a global leader in civil aviation training. However, its primary customer base (airlines) is a key casualty of the Geopolitical Energy Risk Premium, which will likely compress airline margins and cap their training/simulator budgets.

Its competitive moat is built on its global leadership in simulation technology and training services, proprietary intellectual property, and long-standing relationships with major airlines and defense forces worldwide.
