In a bold move, GTC is buying into a EUR 448m residential portfolio, comprised of apartments in three small German towns. Initially, this acquisition will not be FFO accretive, as the rental income will be consumed by opex and, chiefly, interest costs. GTC plans to sell a large part of the portfolio to small investors, building by building, over the next two years, hopefully at a profit. The money raised from the sales should be used to repay the more expensive part of the debt funding of the de...
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...
