Equity Bottom-Up

China Southern Airlines   / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
 <li>
Market Leader in a Recovering Industry: As Asia's largest airline by fleet size and passengers carried, China Southern is well-positioned to capitalize on the continued recovery of the Chinese aviation market. Its dual-hub strategy at Guangzhou Baiyun and Beijing Daxing airports provides a formidable network advantage, particularly in the domestic sector which has shown strong resilience.</li>
 <li>
Financials Improving but Still Under Pressure: While revenue has strongly rebounded past pre-pandemic levels, profitability remains elusive. The company has posted net losses for the past three years, burdened by high operating costs, currency fluctuations, and intense competition. However, operating and free cash flows have shown significant improvement, indicating a healthier underlying operational recovery.</li>
 <li>
Significant Headwinds and Risks Remain: The airline faces considerable risks that could impede its path to sustained profitability. These include volatile jet fuel prices, adverse movements in the USD/CNY exchange rate (as aircraft and fuel are often priced in USD), intense domestic competition from state-owned peers and low-cost carriers, and the ever-present threat of geopolitical tensions impacting international travel demand.</li>
