VLRS Stock Recent News

Controladora Vuela (VLRS) has an impressive earnings surprise history and currently possesses the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely beat in its next quarterly report.

Volaris is the only airline in a developing economy to sustain B+ or higher Factor Grades from Seeking Alpha. All Ratings are either Buy or Strong Buy. The resumption of Mexico's Category 1 with the FAA and the expected end of A320 NEOs grounded due to GTF engine issue by the end of 2025 are significant tailwinds. Added capacity due to solving GTF engine issue and new orders in the years to come could boost its fleet by 40% in FY'26 versus FY'24.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: VLRS and BMV: VOLAR) (“Volaris” or “the Company”), the ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) serving Mexico, the United States, Central, and South America, reports its July 2024 preliminary traffic results.

Good cost control allowed Volaris to report better-than-expected EBITDAR in Q2'24, with EBITDAR up 23% on a 7% revenue decline driven by 17% less capacity. Engine repair turnaround times are improving, but capacity is still likely to be down 14% in 2024, and prioritizing higher-profit routes can only offset a portion of that headwind. A weaker Mexican economy and weaker domestic travel is a risk for 2024, but over the longer term, Volaris still has an opportunity to benefit from growing air travel in Mexico.

While the top- and bottom-line numbers for Controladora Vuela (VLRS) give a sense of how the business performed in the quarter ended June 2024, it could be worth looking at how some of its key metrics compare to Wall Street estimates and year-ago values.
