We have upgraded our rating for Aegean Airlines to BUY (from Hold), following the recent dip in the share price. We adjust our 12M price target (PT) to EUR 11.3/share, only slightly higher than the former level (EUR 11.0/share), driven mainly by incorporating a marginally more constructive outlook on fares next year. This reflects comments made by several airlines, which have reported in recent weeks, which are pointing towards a more constructive outlook for pricing, as persistent shortages of ...

Aegean's results were broadly in line with our estimates. The company flew 4% less ASK in 3Q24 compared to last summer. With a flat RASK, the revenue mirrored the ASK decline – slightly better than the 1% RASK contraction we had pencilled in. The ex-fuel CASK increased by 14%, driven by a combination of personnel costs and inefficiencies connected to groundings. This pushed the EBIT 27% lower yoy. Our 2024E forecast (where we pencil in the EBIT at EUR 205m) seems reasonable, in view of the 9M24 ...

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...

We maintain our HOLD rating on Aegean Airlines, adjusting our 12M price target (PT) to EUR 11.0/share, implying 2% upside. In 3Q24E, we expect the RASK to drop 3% yoy, driven by high competition, industry-wide pressure on fares, and the high base of last year. This will likely put some pressure on profitability. We pencil in the 3Q24E EBITDA margin to fall 4ppts yoy, to 31%, driven by a weaker RASK and higher ex-fuel unit costs (due mainly to GTF engine inspections) in the key summer quarter. De...
Due to changes in analyst responsibilities, we transfer coverage of Kety, with a 12M price target (PT) of PLN 920/share, implying 20% upside potential and a BUY rating. Kety produces aluminium parts for the automotive industry, flexible packaging for the food industry, and aluminium systems for the construction industry. The company intends to present a new strategy by the end of this year, and we expect it to focus on foreign expansion through acquisitions. We believe this is a necessary strate...
