Morningstar | Following investments in fiscal 2018, Auckland Airport's margins should expand in future years.

Auckland Airport enjoys a wide economic moat given its ownership of its namesake airport, as well as the large industrial, commercial, and retail precinct surrounding. New Zealand continues to grow as a topnotch tourist destination, with several international airlines announcing plans to fly to the country in recent years, and Auckland should remain its gateway. To capture this opportunity, the airport will continue a substantial expansion and upgrade over the next several years, which will require significant capital outlays, but we expect passenger growth and accelerating pricing to drive a rebound in cash generation, with EBITDA growing at 9% per year, on average, over the next decade. The company's monopoly position justifies its wide moat rating, and we believe the light-handed regulatory environment will enable the company to generate returns above its weighted average cost of capital over the long term.
