Context and risks
The rise in crude oil and the increase in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) make AerCap's debt financing more expensive, which is its main source of capital. However, the company has a business model that partially passes these costs on to airlines through lease contracts, and its dominant market position gives it pricing power.
