Q2 2026 Intelligence Brief — Published June 2026
The ultra-long-range and large-cabin segments have tightened materially since Q4 2025, with pre-owned inventory at multi-year lows and new-production delivery slots extending to 2028–2029. Light and midsize categories remain buyer-friendly. GCC buyer demand is outpacing supply at the top end of the market for the second consecutive quarter.

Key market factor
Fractional-fleet exit inventory from major providers re-entering the pre-owned market has lifted supply above demand for the second consecutive quarter. Buyers have meaningful negotiating leverage on sub-2019 examples.
Triforce advisory position
Best value window in five years for operators with 4–6 hr typical sectors. Pre-owned 2019–2022 examples well-positioned at current ask prices before the expected 2027 new-delivery wave tightens supply.
