Embraer shows a compelling combination of high growth scores and an attractive valuation — PEG of 0.13, a forward P/E of 16.0 times, and 18.2% upside to the consensus target — but quarterly earnings delivery has alternated between beats and misses with a negative average surprise of roughly -14% over four quarters, free cash flow is negative, and business quality sits below the minimum threshold, making this a setup that warrants monitoring before committing fresh capital.
