Market cap $4.93B

Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte reported 11.3% YoY passenger growth in Q2 2025, led by Monterrey's 23.8% surge, confirming its role as northern Mexico's industrial and business hub. Commercial revenue per passenger reached MX$62.4 (+7.5% YoY), supported by strong demand in restaurants (+41%), VIP lounges (+35%), and retail (+27%), showing OMAB's ability to monetize beyond traffic. Adjusted EBITDA rose 18.8% to MX$2.56B, with a 74.6% margin, one of the highest in global infrastructure, translating three-fourths of revenues into operating cash flow.

Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte remains my top pick among Mexican airport operators, thanks to its strong business mix and exposure to industrial hubs like Monterrey. The reshoring trend and Mexico's manufacturing boom, especially in Monterrey, are fueling robust traffic and non-aeronautical revenue growth for OMAB. Despite a 40% stock price run-up, the company is still reasonably valued, with solid EBITDA growth and a compelling dividend policy supporting long-term returns.

Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMAB) saw its shares surge in the last session with trading volume being higher than average. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions may not translate into further price increase in the near term.

OMA Airports' stock has surged 29.4% since November, outperforming the S&P 500, despite trade tensions between the US and Mexico. Monterrey's nearshoring potential and capacity cap at Mexico City present growth opportunities, but trade turmoil and GDP growth concerns pose risks. Operating income remains stable despite a 9.4% rise in costs and an 81.8% increase in concession taxes, with strong EBITDA margins.

Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V. aka OMAB has experienced much better operational results over the past quarter. I believe the sharp upturn in the company's traffic more than offsets the current risks from potential tariffs and a slowdown in the Mexican economy. It's my view that the analyst consensus is too low for the company's 2025 results, setting the stage for quarterly numbers that beat expectations.
