Strategic positioning and attractive dividend yield of the airline
This company, which operates as a major transportation hub in the Americas, offers an attractive dividend yield of 6.59%, making it attractive to dividend-oriented investors. The dividend, paid quarterly, provides regular cash flow, with a payout ratio of 39.73%. This conservative ratio suggests that the company has plenty of room for further dividend increases if its earnings continue to grow.
The company is known for its geographic advantage with Tocumen Airport in Panama, which acts as an efficient transfer point for travelers between North, Central and South America. This strategic hub allows it to serve over 80 destinations in 32 countries with high load factors (86.8% in the last quarter). Low operating costs, high load factors and a favorable P/E ratio of 6.1 - well below the industry average - place the company among undervalued titles with growth potential.
