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.

WestJet, WJA
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.
COMMENT
Like a warrant on market recovery. Highly economically sensitive. Because they have First Class and Executive Class, their capacity utilization of those expensive seats can have a huge impact on profitability. If you own, it is a bet that that this recovery is sustainable.
TOP PICK
Thinks this company is coming out of the depths of years of misery, poverty, internal warfare, etc. Have cut it back now to be able to make money.
SELL
Buying airline stocks is a lottery ticket. There is an interesting dynamic with Porter Airlines trying to go public. Westjet (WJA-T) have been using some of the bullets in their discount arsenal to go after Porter.
TOP PICK
Considering it as a trading stock. There are analysts that are looking for a double.
DON'T BUY
Would never own it. No business in the history of the world has destroyed more capital. It is impossible to make money in the airline industry.
DON'T BUY
Doesn't like airline stocks. Very difficult to make money in this industry.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Airlines are difficult at the best of times, particularly in the environment we are in.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Wouldn't touch it.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Doesn’t like airlines.
WATCH
Had a major selloff in the summer and then shows a congested area from that time on. Until the stock breaks through $2 you do nothing. $2 is the signal it has broken out.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Just recapitalized and the risk of bankruptcy is off the table. Airline industry is extremely risky but in Canada there are only 2 players.
DON'T BUY
He never owned this but preferred Westjet (WJA-T). The real challenge on this one is the slowing economy means fewer flyers. Will lose more money in the last quarter.
DON'T BUY
Only own as trading vehicle. He is an investor. Management has done better in the last couple of years. It’s do ok.
WAIT
Wait at least a couple of weeks or months.
