The Mexican transport sector posted another quarterly result with solid top-line performance. However, a better tariff environment and diversified revenues were not enough to compensate for margin contractions.
GAP reported the most robust results, with double-digit revenues and EBITDA expansion, followed by OMA and ASUR. The total EBITDA margin in the transport sector contracted 0.1 pp, with the airport sector being the segment with the highest reduction in margins (-1.7 pp YoY). Total sales in the transport sector advanced 10.1% in 1Q25, while EBITDA gained 9.8% YoY. We highlight that TRAXION posted an attractive 1.2 pp expansion in its EBITDA margin, while VOLAR posted the weakest results, with revenues and EBITDAR contractions of 12% and 14%, respectively.
We reiterate our positive outlook in the transport sector, remaining ASUR and TRAXION as our top-pick names. These names offer attractive potential upside for long-term investors at attractive valuation levels. In VOLAR, we reduce our PT after incorporating 1Q25 figures in our model. On the other hand, we also reiterate our Mkt Perform ratings for GAP, OMA, and GMXT.
