Adjusting our estimates marginally ahead of the 4Q24E results, we have upgraded Air Astana Group (AAG) back to a BUY, setting our 12M price target (PT) at USD 7.5/share (from USD 7.0/share). Despite a good performance last summer, the shares have continued to lose ground, underperforming the MSCI World Airlines Index by almost 20% since our downgrade to Hold in October 2024. At end-September 2024, the group had a net cash position of USD 474m (excluding leases). Following the underperformance si...
Bank of Cyprus (BOCH) has reported EUR 108m in net income in 4Q24, 9% below our EUR 117m estimate for the quarter. The revenues were in line with our estimate and the NII also held up stronger than expected (7% higher than our estimate). The delta was due to the higher-than-expected provisions (EUR 20m higher). This includes a EUR 13m provision, which management has set aside for legacy litigation exposures. We understand that this provision is one-off in nature. The bank will return 50% of its ...

In 2024, European aviation capacity grew by around 9%. This was faster than the slow-growing economy could absorb, leading to fares underperforming expectations. For many carriers, we have also seen cost inflation. The lower fuel prices were an important tailwind, preventing margin erosion exceeding 1-2ppts (EBITDA) for the European carriers. Looking ahead, we expect capacity in Europe to grow by around a mid-single digit pace in 2025E, constrained by supply bottlenecks and engine durability iss...
