Copa (CPA) Stock Analysis & Forecast

Sep 28 close

$131.07−2.65 (−2.0%)

Gekko Brief

AI summary

Copa shares closed at $131.07, down about 1.98% on the day, a move the market flagged as more significant than the broader market's decline that session. Separately, brokerages covering the stock maintain a consensus recommendation of "Buy," with twelve ratings firms cited in that assessment. The BOXABL board appointment referencing a "Timothy Goldsmith, CPA" is unrelated to Copa Holdings itself.

The stock trades between its 50-day average of $134.11 and 200-day average of $131.83, reflecting a mixed short-term trend, and sits within the 52-week range of $107.44 to $160.47. Copa's GekkoIndex reading of 57.7 places it in the Neutral zone, up 5.5 points recently. Gekko Fair Value stands at $154.71, putting the current price about 15.3% below that level.

Copa's next earnings report is scheduled for 18 November 2026, 50 days away, which falls outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window. The prior quarter saw EPS of $4.18 against an estimate of $4.44, with a -1.7% reaction; the company has beaten estimates in 7 of the last 8 quarters, with an average absolute reaction of 5.7%. No insider, Congress, or unusual options activity appears in the current windows. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged a 0.6% return over 5 years, rising in 3 of those years. Analyst consensus carries a price target of $178.73, implying 36.4% upside from current levels.

Last earnings call, Feb 11, 2026 AI summary

What they said
Copa Holdings presented strong fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results, reporting Q4 net profit of $172.6M ($4.18/share), up 5.3% year-over-year, and full-year net profit of $671.6M ($16.28/share), up 11.9% YoY. Operating profit and margins were robust (Q4 operating profit $209.6M; Q4 operating margin 21.8%). Cost metrics improved: CASM decreased 1.6% YoY to 8.8¢ and CASM ex-fuel was essentially flat at 5.9¢ (5.8¢ excluding a non-cash maintenance adjustment). Management highlighted a $7.2M non-cash maintenance adjustment and a $6M foreign currency loss tied to a temporary devaluation of the Brazilian real. Key operational topics in the Q&A included the resumption and phased return to Venezuela, choice of an in-flight Wi-Fi provider (to be announced in April), improvements in demand tied to stronger local currencies, capacity growth (double-digit), capacity phasing (front-loaded in H1), Wingo stability, tanker fueling for Cuba routes, codeshare with Volaris continuing, and potential regulatory relief in Brazil (Resolution 400) that could lower lawsuit-related costs. The company also noted a $200M buyback program (about half executed). Management emphasized disciplined cost initiatives, sales & distribution savings, network flexibility, and realistic guidance aligned with internal targets.
Guidance
Full-year RASM guidance: flattish (management is "standing by our RASM guidance"). CASM ex-fuel guidance: ~5.7¢ (management targets the lower end of prior range). Capacity growth guidance: double-digit (management referenced 11%-13% growth). Q1 seasonality: Q1 typically one of the stronger quarters; capacity growth front-loaded with stronger growth in H1. Share repurchase program: $200M authorized, roughly half executed; no end date set.
Risks flagged
Currency volatility in South America (noted temporary devaluation of the Brazilian real causing a $6M FX loss and management explicitly not banking on currency strength as a full-year tailwind). Lease/end-of-lease maintenance provisions and discount rate sensitivity (non-cash $7.2M adjustment). Potential consumer litigation exposure in Brazil (Resolution 400 uncertainty). Demand pattern disruptions related to events (e.g., World Cup) and regional market supply dynamics. Execution risk associated with achieving CASM ex-fuel targets and integrating capacity increases.
