Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.
Achieving those goals is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores, a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on popular investing methodologies, namely value, growth, and momentum. The Style Scores can help you narrow down which stocks are better for your portfolio and which ones can beat the market over the long-term.
Value investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Copa Holdings is based in Panama City, Panama. The company, through its main subsidiaries — Copa Airlines and Copa Colombia — offers airline passenger and cargo services. Copa Airlines was founded in 1947. Copa Columbia was purchased in 2005.
CPA sits at a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), holds a Value Style Score of A, and has a VGM Score of A. Compared to the Transportation - Airline industry's P/E of 9.7X, shares of Copa Holdings are trading at a forward P/E of 6.3X. CPA also has a PEG Ratio of 0.9, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 4.4X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 1.2X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2025, one analyst revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for CPA, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.02 to $15.48 per share. CPA also holds an average earnings surprise of 9.2%.
