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 ...
Lamda's 3Q24 was largely in line with our expectations. We are seeing a continuing strong performance from the existing malls and marinas, while the recently-announced land sales at the Ellinikon should start to pull the NAV upwards over the coming months. The visible progress in the development of the Ellinikon, coupled with the NAV uplift ahead, should help the momentum of the stock, in our view. The key risks we see are related to potential delays and construction cost overruns, as well as de...

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 reiterate our BUY rating on Lamda Development (Lamda), increasing our 12M price target (PT) to EUR 9.0/share. Lamda remains our favourite play on Greek real estate. The tenant sales and rents continue to grow in tandem in its portfolio of four well-known shopping centres. The likely ECB rate easing ahead could make it easier for Lamda to sell a stake in the MallCo via an IPO, perhaps at some point in 2025E, a potential boost for sentiment. The fully-occupied marinas also generate good returns...
Lamda has announced the sale of another tranche of land plots within the Ellinikon. It is selling land with a buildable area of up to 86k sqm, with uses ranging from residential (30k sqm), office space (37k sqm) and educational institutions (20k sqm). The selling price of EUR 120m exceeds the current book value of the plots (EUR 37m) significantly, again. In addition to the cash inflows, the deal should also front-load the P&L recognition of the profits from the Ellinikon, driving c.EUR 82m of a...

The tenant sales performance at the existing malls remains solid (up 6% vs. 1H23), and the progress on selling down the Little Athens apartments has been fast, with prices ahead of the budgeted levels. We also understand that the leasing demand for the two Ellinikon malls has been very strong, and we see some upside for the rent levels we were budgeting for in our initiation on the stock (June 2023). With the rates coming down, this should have a positive impact on the future valuations of the E...
