AC trade ideas
SHOULD BE SIMPLEAIR CANADA looking like it's gearing up for a turnaround on the weekly timeframe, based on the stochastic levels, and dragonfly doji, symboling the end of the downtrend. Wait for a conformation hopefully next week with a nice candle to the upside and hopefully trump stays out of the headlines (he won't)
$AC under valuePrior to COVID dilution AC's saleable assets equated to just over $18 per share. Dilution was what? 60 million shares?
I very much like Air Canada under $17 and grabbed a whole bunch today at $16.70. Planning on dropping right before/after summer flying is reported Nov/Dec.
Aren't cyclical industries great?!
$AC LONG - Enter 16.50-17.00, Exit 20-22 into Q2, Risk 16TSX:AC LONG - No monthly bounce or even weekly bounce since the highs, 36% drop, daily RIS oversold to historical lows, very good risk reward entry here at 17 area.16.00 16.50 massive support.
Entry: 16.50-17.00
Exit: 20-22 into Q2
Risk: 16
10 year AVG Forward PE = 7.34 , would put AC at 20.80 for 2.8 earnings 2025
Oil trending down to 60
CXY Canada dollar monthly bounce underway
Entered 17 break, expect retest back to 21 area, drop with zero bounces..
Q2 tends to be best quarter for airlines.
Suggest holding Long for 2-3 Months. Thank me later
Air Canada Analysis 10/18/24DISCLOSURE: As of 10/18/24 I have no open positions in Air Canada TSX: AC
Air Canada is a Canadian airline who took a big hit during COVID and added a lot of debt to their business. Because of the unstable financial position the valuation is very low and could provide large returns in the event of a turnaround.
The Debt
Looking at the debt ratios the debt/equity looks very high, but the debt/asset ratio looks much better. Of course as all airlines do they use debt to buy their planes and other assets. However it is worth noting that the debt here is a problem. (Higher than competitors)
For a long term buy and hold I would like to see much more cash on the balance sheet, but this is a turnaround play after all. If Air Canada's margins decrease to unprofitable they may be forced to sell assets to cover liabilities.
Qualitative
Looking at the qualitative metrics it is obvious that Air Canada took large losses in 2020 but has since recovered in terms of earnings, revenue, and margins. The stock price however has not recovered, this is likely due to the debt load they are stuck with now.
From a long term perspective airlines are notoriously bad businesses struggling with debt, unprofitability, and an extremely competitive environment. This is why I only intend to hold this stock for a maximum of 3-5 years.
Valuations
The valuations are where things start to look up for this company. With a price/cash flow of 1.75 you would be getting your investment back in about 1 year 9 months. On the other hand if they lose money and are forced to sell assets the stock will likely remain flat or decline further.
The way I view Air Canada is as an asymmetric bet. For example, I assigned some arbitrary values to my model where I see a 25% chance that they sell off assets. a 50% chance that earnings and margins remain stable and a 25% chance that earnings and margins increase
In the worst case scenario the stock will likely fall another 25%-50% and in the best case scenario AC could be a 4x from current valuations. Of course the risk/reward I am assigning to these values is subjective and I highly suggest doing your own research to see how you feel about these outcomes.
For me at current prices Air Canada TSX: AC is a buy. So long as you keep in mind the potential risks and dont be shocked if the 25% chance of the downside materializes.
If you enjoyed this report I publish 2 times per week and offer consulting, portfolio analysis, and contract research. PM me if interested.
Air Canada AC.TO - BearishAC has breached the upward trend channel, accompanied by a Head and Shoulders formation. The neckline support, situated around 18.05, has been breached. I anticipate a downside potential with my initial target at TP1 = 17.03 and TP2 = 16.57 CAD $. Best of luck to everyone, but please remember that this solely reflects my opinion. Conduct your own analysis and risk assessment.
Risk to Reward Ratio is the key to constant wins at tradingI love writing those articles on my Blog, mainly because I learn from reviewing my trades & secondary for the value it gives back to the trading community.
I been preaching Trading is simple but not easy. It is based on following a winning trade plan. & how do you find such a plan? Try & fail, Try & succeed there is no other way. There is the possibility of a generous soul teaching how a winning strategy & thats what I hope to do in this article. I will share 2 rules
Rule number 1 Always trade the bigger picture.
Find out what the bigger picture chart is doing & trade based on that. In this trade am placing my trade decision in the (W) chart the top chart in white. My bigger picture chart is the monthly (M) not shown. And the chart I use to time my enter & exit is the Day chart (D) below in Black
Rule number 2 Risk to Reward ratio,
This should be rule #1 but I placed it as number 2 to add importance to the rules of trading the bigger picture. Aim for a Risk to Reward ratio of 3 to 5. This means you asses the Risk (how. much money you can loose) before you asses the Reward (how much money you can win).
In this trade, the bigger picture chart (M) is in a downtrend. The trading chart (W) comes into untested Supply Zone (SZ) with a Risk of less than a dollar. I take my SHRT in the red Circle
The reward is 4-5 dollars per share, mostly due to a price free fall zone, with little Demand zone (DZ) to challenge the price. I took profit at two point marked by the red X in the Daily chart.
There are odd enhancers as to why I took this trade, but they are outside the scope of this blog. If you like to learn more about my winning trading strategy that I been practicing for 11 years. Follow my Blog & learn to trade smarter.
ACAC heading out to taxi for next flight. Divergence on 1hr MACD. Lower lows in price divergence with higher lows on MACD. $sold a bit early at $25. $21 likely the target. Strategy would be dollar cost averaging on way down with 1% positions and then more aggressive when MACD bounces off the zero line. Target 29.50
Watch the zero line on MACD being crossed on 1hr, 4hr, and daily for entries.
Trade safe~ :)

Full Analysis (Price Action, ichimoku, & more!) on AC! BTFD!My friend is heavily invested in Air Canada and was looking for some potential break outs (or break downs!), so I ran through the whole analysis playbook of how I look at stocks.
In this video, I cover how to analyze price action, fibonacci, some pattern techniques, moving averages, and ichimoku.
Overall, I'm looking to buy the dips with optimal entry around $21.35. My stop would be around $19.11, with my first Price Target around $34, putting us at a R/R of 13/2.5 = 5:1! I'd be looking for a big move within 2 weeks (by April 25). I'd 100% play $26-27 July 2023 calls.
Good luck out there and let me know if you want me to take a look at any other tickers!
Cheers,
