Cathay Pacific's Passenger Yield Likely to Stay Above Prepandemic Levels -- Market Talk

Dow Jones08-08

0729 GMT - Cathay Pacific's passenger yield may stay higher than prepandemic levels in the medium term, Daiwa Capital Markets analysts write in a note. Although the carrier's total passenger numbers fell in 1H and regional flight fares dropped due to capacity returning to the market, it's well on track for its targets of 100% capacity recovery by 1Q 2025 and for staff recruitment, they write. Operating efficiency improvements suggest better margins to come, they add. As such, they keep a buy call on the stock but trim the target to HK$9.00 from HK$9.50 to reflect the downward revision in EPS estimates for 2024-2026 due to lower passenger yields in 1H. Shares are 0.4% higher at HK$7.86. (kimberley.kao@wsj.com)
