Undervalued established dividend payer
AIR is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company’s expected cash flow going forward. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if AIR’s projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Compared to the rest of the airlines industry, AIR is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This further reaffirms that AIR is potentially undervalued.
Income investors would also be happy to know that AIR is one of the highest dividend payers in the market, with current dividend yield standing at 7.2%. AIR has also been regularly increasing its dividend payments to shareholders over the past decade.
