Description: AM Dassault Aviation December 19, 2025
Dassault Aviation SA (ticker AM) is a French-based, publicly traded aerospace & defense company that designs and manufactures military aircraft, business jets, and space systems.
Its flagship products include the Rafale omni-role fighter, the nEUROn unmanned combat drone, and the Falcon family of business jets, complemented by multi-mission platforms for maritime surveillance, training, scientific research, intelligence, and medical evacuation.
The firm operates roughly 2,100 Falcon jets and 1,000 military aircraft worldwide, and it monetises its expertise through maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO) services, aircraft leasing, and the development of flight-simulation tools.
Founded in 1916 and headquartered in Paris, Dassault Aviation is a subsidiary of Groupe Industriel Marcel Dassault S.A.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue was €13.5 billion with an order backlog exceeding €15 billion, while R&D intensity remains high at about 12 % of sales-a level that supports its advanced fighter and autonomous-drone programs. The company’s performance is sensitive to two primary drivers: (1) sovereign defense spending cycles, especially in Europe and the Middle East, and (2) the demand for premium business jets, which correlates with global high-net-worth individual wealth and corporate travel trends.
