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.
Airlines have been very volatile. He is cautious with the airlines. AC has been doing well and their recent Air Transat acquisition should be good if it indeed happens. There is a good prospect of growing earnings over the next couple of years. However, if you believe there is going to be a recession soon, then avoid this stock.
It will be interesting to see what happens with the acquisition of the Air Transat airline. Everyone is very cost competitive so he does not like airlines. There might be a bump here. If we are serious about climate change, then air travel is a major contributor. There may be a little money to be made short term on the news, but long term he would not touch them. With the Acquisition of WestJet, things are really getting shaken up in the Canadian Airline industry.
(A Top Pick Jul 27/18, Up 89%) Great job of investing in their business, expanded internationally, grown loyalty plans, new AmEx platform. Great modern fleet. Acquiring Transat. Too late to get in now, based on the economic cycle.
