This summary was created by AI, based on 15 opinions in the last 12 months.

Air Canada (AC-T) has received a mixed bag of opinions from analysts and experts. While some see the airline's potential for long-term growth driven by a unique global network and improving operations, others express concerns about the high costs, unpredictability in competition, and the cyclical nature of the airline industry. Recent developments, such as cash reserves increasing and debt reduction, have contributed positively to its balance sheet. Analysts also highlight the current market conditions, including high oil prices and geopolitical uncertainties, affecting short-term prospects. The general sentiment indicates that while Air Canada has potential upside, it remains sensitive to external economic factors and competitive dynamics, making it a trade rather than a straightforward investment at this time.

The worst possible industry to be in. Why would you want to own it. There are so many things wrong as a debt holder or as a stockholder.

Balance sheet is extremely marginal they will have a difficult time raising debt; have a hard time raising equity. Stock is 4-5 discount to book value. An industry that eats money.

It is certainly possible they would go belly up, but would not forecast it since the economy is improving. He doesn’t invest in airlines. If you take all of the earnings since the birth of aviation, it is a negative number. He is keep on the suppliers.

High-risk/high reward. As a value player he does not favour the stock. Probably trading with a negative book value. Prefers Western Jet (WJA-T), which has earned money for the last 26 consecutive quarters, pays a dividend and is sitting on $1.3 billion in cash.

Can’t stand airlines. Not investments. They are trades. He is an investor, not a trader. No business in the world has destroyed more capital than the airline business. Fuel prices are the only positive thing in that business.

9.25% Bond maturing Aug 1/15. Market is critical of airline stocks in general because it has been tough to make money off them through the years. Company has moved down its debt to a little more than$2 billion and generating well north of $400 million of free cash flow.

Took a fairly big dive but has recovered now. Can't see it going up much further. There is some support at $2.20 but he wouldn't touch the stock. Looks like it is on a longer-term downtrend.

AC.B West Jet versus Air Canada? Airlines is a lousy, lousy business. Has never owned any. Okay for short-term trading opportunities. If you must own airline, it should be West Jet as it is a quality company of the two.
