VOLAR (BUY, PT $31.00)
Flash: 2Q21 outlook improves. Raised guidance
Volaris announced that due to improved sales performance in both the domestic and international markets, it updated its guidance for the second quarter of this year vs. 2Q19. This is the result of new trends as the recovery of Covid-19 has taken place, resulting in the following expected performance indicators:
Positive implication: Undoubtedly, the news continues to support a more favorable outlook for better-than-expected demand. We believe that given this new scenario, Volaris will maintain its leading position in the Mexican airline industry, leveraging a more accelerated recovery in passenger traffic - already at pre-Covid levels - while continuing to adequately manage its resources, as it now plans to operate a larger fleet in 2021, as well as maintaining its liquidity preservation plan. For now, we will be incorporating the new performance expectations for 2Q21 with positive implications.
