Is Innovative Aerosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISSC) a buy in 2026?

A $308M avionics retrofitter sitting on the C-130 and KC-46 cockpit upgrade cycle, mispriced because the revenue lumps badly.
Where ISSC is headed
Innovative Aerosystems is what happens when a specialist avionics shop figures out the only growth market in aerospace right now is keeping old airframes flying for another twenty years. The fleet age problem is real. The US Air Force is still flying C-130s built when Reagan was in his first term, the commercial narrowbody backlog at Boeing and Airbus runs to the back end of this decade, and every operator with a legacy cockpit is staring at NextGen avionics mandates, ADS-B evolution, and pilot supply constraints that make modern flight decks a survival requirement rather than a nice-to-have. ISSC sells exactly that. Flat panel retrofits, autothrottles, integrated standby displays, the Liberty flight deck. Boring boxes that turn 1980s aircraft into platforms a current-generation pilot can actually operate.
