The main message from the 3Q24 earnings call is that customers, particularly in the automotive sector, are sitting on the budgets earmarked for outsourced work, as they reassess their own priorities. While this happens. AROBS is positioning itself to capture new business where customer demand is strongest – cyber security, AI and data engineering. This quarter, management did put personnel and other opex cuts in place, the results of which are visible already: it reversed the gross margin erosio...

Pegasus’ reported results missed our estimates, but were broadly in line with the consensus collected by the company. The EBIT, a proxy for earnings (as it is unaffected by the non-cash FX gains and losses), was 5% lower yoy in 3Q24. Revenues were up by 13% yoy, driven by 9% ASK growth and a 4% stronger RASK. This was offset by the steep increase in costs. The ex-fuel cask (CASKX) was up 22%, driven chiefly by growth in personnel costs. This was alleviated partly by the fuel CASK, which was down...

The combination of continued capacity recovery and a weak macro backdrop is putting pressure on passenger yields. The more favourable fuel prices (and, for Turkish Airlines (THYAO), higher cargo yields) only partially compensate for cost pressures caused by the GTF engine issue, higher personnel costs, and general cost inflation. This means that margins are beginning to compress from the often very high levels we have seen in the past two-to-three years. Among the four airlines that we cover, we...
EME Equity Market - September 2024 EME indices mostly in the red in September; rebound in Greece. The MSCI EM Europe Index declined 2.0% in EUR terms and 1.1% in USD terms in September. The Greek ASE Index was the best performer in our region, advancing 1.4% mom in EUR terms. Muted performances were seen in Czechia and Hungary (+0.3% and +0.2% mom, respectively in EUR terms), with declines in Poland, Romania and Turkey (-3.6%, -2.9% and -1.5% mom, respectively in EUR terms).

We have increased our 12M price target (PT) for Pegasus to TRY 248/share, while maintaining our HOLD rating. After two years of stellar margins, 2024E is shaping up to be another good year. We expect Pegasus to fly 13% more ASK, while keeping its RASK flat yoy (lower fares offset by a higher load factor). Pegasus remains one of the lowest unit cost producers globally. Its efficiency is underpinned by its modern neo fleet, which is not affected by the P&W GTF engine issue – an important competiti...
AROBS has posted disappointing 1H24 earnings, as falling orders for embedded software from automotive customers collided with sticky cash wage costs; while the 1H24 revenues contracted by 6% yoy, wages (excluding the employee share option scheme; ESOP) were 13% higher yoy. Wages now represent c.65% of the cash opex, vs. c.59% in 1H23 (the FY22 figure was c.46%). The company has announced remediating steps already, including headcount cuts in the software services segment and a 5-10% reduction in...
