This summary was created by AI, based on 21 opinions in the last 12 months.

Air Canada (AC-T) is a unique player in the airline industry, with a diverse global network and strategic routes that differentiate it from competitors. While some analysts appreciate its potential given the ongoing recovery in travel demand and improvements in operational metrics, others express caution due to high costs, geopolitical concerns, and the unpredictable nature of the industry. Several experts see significant upside potential once challenges like strikes and rising oil prices are resolved, with some projecting a fair value price between $25 to $40 per share. However, the sentiment remains mixed, with concerns about competitiveness and management practices lingering. Overall, many believe that Air Canada holds promise as a long-term investment if the economic environment stabilizes and the company effectively navigates its challenges.

DON'T BUY
High oil prices are not good for airlines. The time to own an airline is in the middle of a recession and probably when it’s in bankruptcy. You buy the bonds rather than the stocks.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Nov 24’10, Down 28.61%) Concerns were about union negotiations but oil price is now more of a concern. Jet fuel is about 25% of their operations.
COMMENT
Higher oil prices are going to hurt them. Prior to the middle east problems, traffic was picking up, pricing was getting better and everything was indicating they could have a really good year. This is one of the most sensitive companies to higher oil prices. If oil prices are down below $100 by June, we are OK otherwise you don’t want to own.
DON'T BUY
Reported $134 million profit but $111 million was in foreign exchange. Analysts had expected a $0.04 a share loss but it came in at $0.06. Airlines are extremely sensitive to oil prices.
COMMENT
Right now there are two factors affecting them. Positive: There is a lot of competition from airline manufacturers, depressing prices of planes. Negative: fuel prices.
BUY
Upside should be good from here on because airlines have toughened up and prices have gone up. Possibly a double.
BUY
Parent company sold a big block of stock and it put pressure on the stock. They have been managing the capacity quite well. They will do well of the economy continues to recover. In general he doesn’t like the airline industry.
COMMENT
Stock has been a surprise to a lot of people by tripling. Just did a debt offering. Has always stayed away from airline stocks. Analysts have a target for $7.50, which he believes, but he would rather own something else. In about 2-3 years they’ll be back to the drawing board trying to raise money again and restructuring.
DON'T BUY
Has under performed US airlines. He owns Transat because of earnings (in his top 50 Canada/US stocks).
TOP PICK
Very pleased with recovery of air travel in Canada. Benefiting from higher priced business travel and increased Atlantic and Pacific travel. Very inexpensive.
HOLD
A little overbought. Was base building in 2009 and there was an assumption of a new trend. Could see a pull back to $3.40 area. A lot more upside in the long term.
DON'T BUY
Would stay away from this airline altogether. Because of their debt load and problems, it doesn’t interest him.
TOP PICK
Trading around 4X earnings. Still has debt, but it is not onerous. Expecting it to be a double from here.
DON'T BUY
Warrants. Has never been a fan of this company or any airline stocks. Speculative at best. Doesn't like the overall business model.
SELL
Never been a fan of airlines. A tough way to make money. Load factors are up and things are not looking too bad and it may be okay for the next couple of years but all it would need is a pop in oil creating higher energy costs. Speculative.
