Azul's (AZUL) February Traffic and Load Factor Increase
Read MoreHide Full Article
Azul S.A. (AZUL - Free Report) reported impressive traffic numbers for February, 2020. Both domestic as well as international demand and supply increased on a year-over-year basis. Moreover, consolidated load factor (% of seats filled by passengers) increased primarily owing to 36.1% rise in international traffic.
Traffic Statistics in Detail
Consolidated traffic (measured in revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) rose 25.1% year over year to 2.58 billion. Apart from stellar growth in international traffic, the metric also increased in double digits on the domestic front , thereby buoying the overall figure. Consolidated capacity (measured in available seat kilometers/ASKs) expanded 25.1% to 3.9 billion, driven by 22.7% and 32.8% increase in domestic and international capacity, respectively.
Consolidated load factor increased to 81.6%. While Domestic load factor declined 0.5 percentage points to 81.6%, the metric increased 1.9 percentage points to 79.9% on the international front.
Controladora Vuela Compania de Aviacion has trailing four-quarter positive earnings surprise of more than 100%, on average. The carrier reported better-than-expected earnings per share (EPS) in all of the last four quarters.
Spirit Airlines has trailing four-quarter positive earnings surprise of 2.8%, on average. The carrier reported in line EPS in one of the last four quarters and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the other three.
Ryanair has trailing four-quarter positive earnings surprise of 56.3%, on average. The carrier reported lower-than-expected EPS in one of the last four quarters and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the other three.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $24 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $77.6 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
