Recs
Copa enjoys a nearly monopoly in their niche markets, and can charge accordingly. A program of sensible expansion has occurred over the past few years. Partner Continental's merger with United can only help, assuming that their agreement remains in place. Growth rate has been much larger than P/E, indicating plenty of room for share price improvement. Debt load is very manageable and is surprisingly low for an airline.
