Full Disclaimer Inside the Market’s roundup of some of today’s key analyst actions Pointing to the recent outperformance of its shares, Scotia Capital analyst Konark Gupta lowered his rating for Air Canada (AC-T) to “sector perform” from “sector outperform” on Friday. “The shares are over 30 per cent year-to-date likely on recovery hopes, outperforming the rest of our coverage by 17 points and TSX by 22 points,” he said. “While the stock could have further upside potential in the long term from full recovery in air travel and strong FCF generation, we note at current levels the market is already largely pricing in our base case projections to 2023 (discounted back) as well as a scenario where EBITDA fully recovers to 2019 levels (not discounted back). Moreover, there could be two new risks facing our estimates in the near to medium term, including rising oil price (may be offset by cargo) and increase in net debt due to potential government loans (may drive ticket refunds) on top of ongoing cash burn. Thus, we see a balanced risk/reward here and would prefer a better entry point ($25 or lower) to mitigate shortterm uncertainties.”
