Aeroflot - Closing Our Trade Idea

We opened a long trade idea for Aeroflot on October 31 in anticipation of strong 3Q19 financials and possible positive comments during the earnings call, including about one-off fuel compensation from the government. However, intensified competition on international routes and currency headwinds kept revenues per passenger-kilometer virtually flat y-o-y during the quarter. Although fuel costs eased y-o-y, total CASK excluding fuel grew 7%. The management appears pessimistic that the company will receive fuel compensation this year due to bureaucratic delays. Given this, we close our trade idea, though we retain our long-term positive view on the stock. Since inception, the stock has fallen 3.3% (to R102.8 per share) while the RTS has posted a 0.45% total return.
