HEADLINES: • Aegean Airlines: margins and fares normalising, after stellar 2023 (stays HOLD) • Lamda Development: 2Q24 – good sales at the Ellinikon, capex to accelerate • EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (9-15 September) • Bank of Cyprus: AGM approves delisting from the LSE, and relisting on the ATHEX POSITIVE • Short News (CEZ, RICHT)
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...

Aegean Airlines has announced that it may be buying up to a 21% stake in Volotea, investing up to EUR 50m via convertible notes, in two tranches of Volotea capital increases. At this stage, we see this mostly as a financial investment. That said, the two carriers will also be cross-selling each other’s tickets, and Volotea may use Aegean’s maintenance facilities and its flight simulators. Privately-owned, we have not found Volotea's recent financial statements, so we cannot assess the implied mu...

For the European airlines, the past two months have been marked by concerns over pricing, as July demand surprised on the downside. Difficult weather, ATC capacity not keeping up with the industry growth, and the CrowdStrike software glitch all led to elevated levels of long delays and non-completions, which is weighing on customer satisfaction and which may be another drag on profitability. A number of airlines have published profit warnings (perhaps most notably Ryanair, which said, last week,...

Another upgrade on more resilient yields – 2024 looks set to be far more resilient than embedded in our previous estimates, given the strong demand and reasonable capacity additions in the remainder of the year. The improved outlook is manifested in our upgraded 2024e, where we fine tune our unit revenue assumption now envisaging flat yields yoy. On the cost side, we factor in the agreement with Pratt & Whitney on a compensation scheme for the grounding of the Airbus Family neo fleet, underlying...
