1002 ET - Air Canada's good balance of destinations and offerings has allowed it to take the edge of the worst effects of trade concerns on demand. Citi analyst Stephen Trent says investors have been rightfully focused on the risks to the carrier's cross-border flow, however, Air Canada "continues to have among the strongest weightings of lucrative, international long-haul exposure in the Americas." This is a good buffer to counter risks. "Overall, the results and guidance look positive, with Ebitda and earnings coming above consensus, solid free cash flow generation and guidance adjustments that only mildly softened the 2025 Ebitda range," Trent says.
