We have issued an updated research report on GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. GOL on Sep 18.
The company benefits from multiple tailwinds and is an attractive investment option at the moment.
Let’s delve into the factors that are driving GOL Linhas.
The Sao Paulo, Brazil-based airline company posted impressive first-half unit revenues owing to focus on capacity discipline and revenue management. In fact, passenger unit revenue (PRASK) climbed 10% while unit revenue (RASK) rose 8.9% in the period. Passenger revenues improved 13% on a year-over-year basis in the first half of 2018 on the back of strong demand for air travel.
Moreover, we are impressed about the steps taken by GOL Linhas to combat headwinds. Consistent efforts to modernize fleet and reduce debt levels also raise optimism in the stock. Notably, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has been revised 38.5% upward in the past 60 days for current-year earnings. The favorable estimate revision reflects brokers’ confidence in the stock.
Considering the wealth of information at their disposal, it is in the best interest of investors to be guided by broker advice and the direction of their estimate revisions. This is because the direction of estimate revisions serves as an important pointer when it comes to the price of a stock.
