Jens Spiess has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Copa Holdings’ strong performance at the start of 2025. The significant year-over-year increase in total traffic by 23.6% in January indicates a robust demand for Copa’s services. This growth, combined with a 22.1% rise in capacity, has resulted in an impressive load factor of 86.4%, which is higher compared to the previous year.
Additionally, the easing of comparables due to last year’s temporary grounding of aircraft offers a favorable outlook. The scheduled capacity increases for February and March suggest a continued upward trend, with expectations of a 9% year-over-year capacity growth for the entire first quarter. These positive indicators suggest potential outperformance against the consensus estimates, supporting the Buy recommendation.
According to TipRanks, Spiess is a 2-star analyst with an average return of 0.5% and a 42.86% success rate.
In another report released yesterday, TD Cowen also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $130.00 price target.
