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.

Airlines are a difficult business. Capital intensive, lots of regulation. He avoids investing. Strong balance sheet. Profitability trails the market. Wait for profitability to return and revisit.

Jan 25, 2023
(A Top Pick Feb 18/22, Down 12%) He's been buying more over the last 12 months. Travel demand still strong. US peers still reporting strong numbers. AC should have another good 12 months ahead. China reopening is good, as it's #2 for inbound traffic to Canada.

Flights have bounced back, though not business travel. Ticket prices are high, which favours all airlines. Competition may reduce prices a little later. Now into mid-April is seasonal. The chart shows a base around $16. The oil price isn't crazy, which is good. Warning: consumers are having trouble spending which debts and interest rates rising, and unemployment ticking up. Airlines aren't good stock long term because they need huge capital outlays and are volatile.

Cyclical, volatile. She doesn't invest in the sector. Air traffic has bounced back. Fuel cost headwinds are less. But if you think we're going into a major slowdown, don't want to own airlines.

Suffers from high-fixed costs. But more people are and will be travelling, so the view is optimistic. He prefers Air Canada among airlines. Their service levels are improving.

TOP PICK

Cleared the 200-day MA yesterday. Looks really constructive. If you zoom in on a 1-year chart, you can see a semi-triangle pattern, and you match it with the price action. Buyers are stepping in making it a higher low each time, telling you there's demand. Breakout above resistance around $19.60 sets up next resistance around $22, 10% upside. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $27.20)

Q3 was a solid beat. Margin guidance was unchanged. Consumers are flying more, so demand is good. AC is cheap at 8.9x 2024. The problem is their high debt level, but expects it to come down. Has higher to go.

Difficult business and industry. Capital intensive, lots of government regulation and competition. Not a lot of equity. Confusing capital structure. When the stock pops, take profit and deploy cash somewhere else.

COMMENT

Nov 07, 2022
He is not a fan of airlines. The recent results were very good but it can be very volatile. It is fairly priced and he prefers to own debt. The government has a stake in it.

Down about 39% from highs. Lower lows and lower highs. Pent-up demand for leisure travel, business travel is behind. Once that picks up, AC could benefit. Oil prices are headwinds.

Airlines have struggled through pandemic. Expecting recovery with post pandemic travel. Lots of pent up demand for travel. First quarter was a loss for the company. Stock is down 15% YTD. Lifting of Federal mask mandate is good for the business.

Struggling. If you own it, too late to sell, so hold on. Airport delays, higher fuel costs. Under the 200-day MA, which is trending downwards. Wait for more stability in the economy to start a position.
