Bristow Group (VTOL) Could Be 31% Undervalued After Expanding Autonomous Cargo Bet

Bristow Group (VTOL) is leaning further into autonomous logistics. The company reserved 10 more early delivery slots for Elroy Air’s Chaparral cargo aircraft, raising its total to 15 positions after recent successful test flights.

Bristow Group’s autonomous cargo push lands on a share price of US$42.62, with a 1-day share price return of 0.76% and a 7-day move of 2.13%. A softer 30-day share price return of 2.54% suggests momentum has cooled recently, even as the year-to-date share price return of 14.14% and a 3-year total shareholder return of 52.59% point to a stronger longer term story.
