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.

PAST TOP PICK

(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.

DON'T BUY

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.

DON'T BUY

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.

BUY

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)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

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.

BUY

Seeing company form a base and believe strong upside coming. Good to by shares now. Will reclaim highs on the stock.

SELL ON STRENGTH

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

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.

WEAK BUY

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.

WAIT

A deep cyclical. Returning to travel trend is positive, but negative are rising rates and less spending. It will probably get hit hard. Watch and wait.

DON'T BUY

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.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Prospects for travel look good. Post Covid-19 will increase demand for travel. Company is good position to increase revenue. Fixed costs are a concern. Expect volatility on shares.

WAIT

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.

COMMENT

The airlines are in a challenging position with rising fuel costs as well as the uncertainty of how much longer will pent-up travel demand continue.
