David Einhorn said his Greenlight Capital hedge fund is betting on aircraft-leasing company AerCap Holdings NV, citing the company’s shareholder-friendly management.

Einhorn, speaking at the Grant’s Interest Rate Conference in New York, pointed to share repurchases and a growing fleet of planes. AerCap, which bought American International Group Inc.’s International Lease Finance Corp. last year, will increase earnings per share by about 10 percent a year, he said.
