WOOD Flash – Pegasus Airlines: 3Q25 – RASK pressure exceeds our estimate

Despite 17% capacity growth, the EBIT declined 20% yoy, driven by a sharp yield contraction, with the RASK down 14% yoy. For context, during the summer periods of 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2019 (excluding the COVID-19 period), the average EBIT margin stood at 36% – around 50% above the 24% achieved in 3Q25 – despite fuel cost support. The company has lowered its guidance slightly. Management noted that the market conditions in 4Q25 remain unchanged, implying continued pressure on the RASK. We expect downward consensus revisions.
