CAPS Rating:

The Company is a Latin American provider of airline passenger and cargo service through its two principal operating subsidiaries, Copa and AeroRepublica.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

At this price, this is a bargain.

I know is an airline... but look at Profit Margins...17%!! while its peers are earning a mere 2-3%.

Has a great moat based on location, with its hub of the americas based on Panama and low competition in most of its segments.

Recs 0 (CPA) bohlmanch (84.27) Submitted: 6/19/08 7:24 PM : Start Price: $31.99 CPA Score: 7.53 Stock has basically bottomed and fuel efficiency should give it an edge over competition. New initiaitves from other airlines designed to cope with fuel prices for mere survival of those other airlines should ice the cake for Copa. (But then, I could be wrong. I think airlines have a tough go, but this one should do better than the rest, and all the rest are not going to go out of business. some likely will.)

Long term, anything that dependent on oil is dangerous, but it is extremely cheap today given their history of growth and regional defenses. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (CPA) NeroSagetrade (89.38) Submitted: 2/28/08 4:26 AM : Start Price: $38.26 CPA Score: -6.21 Rolling the dice here with a continued barrage of airlines. Copa Holdings is generally another low-cost airlines operating out of 20 different countries throughout North, Central and South America, but is based out of Panama City. The company is relatively small in terms of overall jets owned, but loves to make deals to sell seats on other partner airlines like Continental. They have successfully managed to increase revenues and profits very handsomely for three years running and revenue growth looks to continue at 17% per annum in 2008-2009. What is truly staggering is the operating margin actually dropped to the 15-17% range and that is still far and away higher than 90% of this sector. Huge operating margins, and growing EPS translate to something on the order of 9.5 times forward earnings and a teaser dividend of 0.8%. Technical rounding bottom as well on the 9 months chart. This is also the perfect time to get into airlines with oil having spiked to $102 per barrel recently. If Boone Pickens says to bet against oil, you had better listen and do as he says. A 15% drop in oil from here would have an extremely positive effect on low cost airline companies like Copa. Nero Sagetrade Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
