About: Controladora Vuela Compania de Aviacion SAB de CV is a low-cost airline flying to Mexico, the United States, Central, and South America. It uses promotional fares to stimulate demand, and the base fares are priced to compete with long-distance bus fares in Mexico. Revenues from the air transportation of passengers are recognized earlier when the service is provided or when the non-refundable ticket expires on the date of the scheduled travel. Non-passenger revenues include revenues generated from other non-passenger services and cargo services. The Company has two geographic areas identified as domestic (Mexico) and international (United States of America, Central America, and South America).

Volaris: Strong Buy While It's On Discount
Despite a 50% share price drop, I maintain Volaris as a Strong Buy due to its deep undervaluation and long-term growth prospects. Short-term headwinds include GTF engine issues extending to 2027, temporary demand weakness, and recent quarterly losses, but these are not permanent setbacks. Volaris' young, fuel-efficient fleet and significant stored capacity position it for strong revenue and earnings growth once operational constraints ease.
