This summary was created by AI, based on 14 opinions in the last 12 months.

Air Canada (AC-T) has received mixed reviews from analysts and experts, highlighting the challenges and opportunities within the airline industry. While some experts express optimism due to an increasing focus on global routes and a strengthening balance sheet, others caution against the unpredictable nature of the airline business, citing high operational costs and sensitivity to economic conditions. Several reviews indicate that the stock is trading at a discount compared to U.S. counterparts, suggesting upside potential if the economic landscape stabilizes. Notably, the recent resolution of labor disputes and improved operational metrics have led to a more favorable outlook. However, ongoing uncertainties related to geopolitical factors and oil prices continue to pose challenges, suggesting potential volatility in the stock's future performance.

He has owned it in the past, when it was coming through the restructuring about a year and a half ago. They bought back into it in mid-March, but got stopped out due to the volatility. It is a great company and had a good balance sheet. This is an example of what can happen to companies with high fixed costs. Capacity has fallen 80-90%, but most of the fixed costs still exist. The government will have to make sure we don't lose this nation wide airline. But how long will it be for you to be comfortable flying inter-continental?

This is not one you want to cherry pick. He does not think the government will give anything to the airlines without taking something in exchange, like warrants. Equity shareholders could get diluted down. He would not try to make a quick buck out of it. He thinks travel will be one of the slowest businesses to come out of this crisis.

The near term is going to be quite difficult. It has been an incredible story until now when the industry has a terrible story. It will take some time for the industry to recover. He has a small position. There are a couple of tough quarters ahead. It is an absolute buy in the low teens.

This is not a good entry point. They are going to incur massive losses and likely will need a federal bailout. We don’t know what the terms of the bailout will be.

The US airline industry has been one of the worst behaviorists in terms of borrowing money and buying back shares. AC-T did that as well. In the US a lot of their dividends can't be paid for years and years but he does not know if that applies to AC-T. He thinks there may be legislation in terms of the airline industry being a kind of utility. Also with the online age there may be less need in the future for air travel at all.

There is not enough clarity in the airline sector and there is more capacity coming online. There will be a long wait until passengers will feel as safe to share their space on planes. He would not buy this. Even if they cut costs, they will not have the revenues to drive free cash flow.

TOP PICK

Air Canada(AC.TO)

Mar 10, 2020
Contrarian would mean betting on an airline like Air Canada. Sure, every airline is getting hammered. Cancelled routes, postponed conventions and frightened travellers all spell a brutal Q1, perhaps Q2. Since February 19, Air Canada has plunged over 21% and could fall further. Trading around $32 as of this writing, AC-T is way off its $52.71 high. It's lost $3.9 billion in its market cap since that January peak, making it the worst-performing carrier this year. Ongoing woes with the Boeing 737 Max also don't help. So, why even look at Air Canada? (Certainly not the in-cabin comfort.) When this virus fades, air travel will bounce back. Conventions will resume, business meetings and vacations alike will be booked and routes to Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong will re-open. Other tailwinds for Air Canada is its takeover of Air Transat (leaving AC-T with virtually no competition in this country), and the plunging price of oil, unless OPEC pulls of a ninth-inning miracle. Though the immediate future is stormy, the distance looks sunny. AC's past is solid. The five years ending last New Year's Eve saw a run-up over 300%. The big question is when does the sun shine again? In a month? This fall? 2021? Who knows? Needless to say, if you are picking up AC anytime soon, be prepare to sit on it for a few years

Airlines are highly volatile and AC stock has fallen off a cliff. But over five years, this has done very well. The problem with airline stocks is that they can go wrong in so many ways (cost of jet fuel, demand fluctuates). Take a loss. It'll take a while for negative sentiment to go away.

The virus has impacted this stock, but it's held at $45 which is encouraging. However, the impact has pushed down oil prices dramatically and will benefit airlines. Don't shy away from AC.

They're caught in a perfect storm of coronavirus and the Boeing Max 737, both of which are temporary problems. AC quarterly results today were merely okay. Q1 guidance is impacted by the virus, though less than he expected. But Aeroplan and the Air Transat deal are tailwinds. AC is still a cheap name. He owns a lot of this.

Airlines are among the most economically sensitive of all. This one has been spectacularly run but the opportunity has now been missed. There are MAX-8 issues on top of the slowing economy. Asian routes are among the most profitable for them and they are now cutting these back temporarily.
