The main message from the 3Q24 earnings call is that customers, particularly in the automotive sector, are sitting on the budgets earmarked for outsourced work, as they reassess their own priorities. While this happens. AROBS is positioning itself to capture new business where customer demand is strongest – cyber security, AI and data engineering. This quarter, management did put personnel and other opex cuts in place, the results of which are visible already: it reversed the gross margin erosio...

Pegasus’ reported results missed our estimates, but were broadly in line with the consensus collected by the company. The EBIT, a proxy for earnings (as it is unaffected by the non-cash FX gains and losses), was 5% lower yoy in 3Q24. Revenues were up by 13% yoy, driven by 9% ASK growth and a 4% stronger RASK. This was offset by the steep increase in costs. The ex-fuel cask (CASKX) was up 22%, driven chiefly by growth in personnel costs. This was alleviated partly by the fuel CASK, which was down...

We have downgraded Asseco Poland (ACP) to HOLD (from Buy) and cut our price target (PT) to PLN 102.5 (from PLN 103.0), implying 12% upside potential. We take profit after ACP’s stock price has rallied 31% ytd, but we remain positive on the name and would take advantage of any price correction. We continue to believe that ACP should benefit from easing pressure on salaries, AI-powered tools application and EU funds inflows into Poland. However, the profitability improvement story is unfolding mor...

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...
