Stock News
Yesterday

Aviation stocks have staged a broad recovery. At the time of writing, CHINA EAST AIR (00670) rose 6.69% to HK$3.67; AIR CHINA (00753) climbed 4.54% to HK$4.84; CHINA SOUTH AIR (01055) advanced 3.81% to HK$4.09; and CATHAY PAC AIR (00293) increased 2.08% to HK$12.27. The rise comes amid elevated international oil prices, which have pushed up jet fuel costs. Airlines are adopting multiple strategies in response. CATHAY PAC AIR has hedged 30% of its fuel requirements, while CHINA EAST AIR announced plans to initiate fuel hedging operations. United Airlines has revealed plans to cut capacity by 5% and suspend underperforming routes. Guotai Junan Securities noted that geopolitical risks in the Middle East are contributing to oil price volatility, but the actual impact on airline profits is likely to be smaller than market fears. The firm suggested that this presents a rare contrarian opportunity and recommended actively increasing positions in aviation stocks.
