11:44 AM EDT, 09/15/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Stifel Canada said it is encouraged by broader airline industry outlook commentary and continues to think the market is largely stable for Air Canada ( ACDVF ).

"No question there are still some consumer and macro uncertainties, but competition appears to be rational, with capacity adjusting quickly to match demand," writes analyst Daryl Young. Air Canada's ( ACDVF ) recent addition of its new A321XLR aircraft is also bringing new routes and increased flexibility, helping to navigate regional challenges Young adds.

However, the key near-term focus for Air Canada's ( ACDVF ) share performance is the uncertainty related to the flight attendant strike, which will clearly have a material impact on its third-quarter results, and potentially a modest go-forward cost headwind if wages are pushed higher (flight attendants represent ~3%-4% of total).

Air Canada ( ACDVF ) is rated Buy, with a $25 price target.
