Expected move: -95%

Biggest risk

Prolonged weakness in regional demand, persistent high fuel costs, or FX shocks compress margins and drive further downside; limited liquidity can exaggerate moves.

Invalidation

Break below $5 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Operational recovery accelerates as hub connectivity and leisure demand rebound; unit revenue improvement and stable yields justify material multiple expansion versus current distressed pricing.

Commentary

Market sentiment remains cautiously negative-to-neutral with price anchored near distressed levels; investor commentary emphasizes macro/fuel sensitivity and limited float [#RankAlpha, #IR-traffic]. Short-term headlines (earnings, fuel) drive spikes in both directions. Longer-term tone depends on Latin American travel recovery and Copa's ability to sustain yields [#Macro-LATAM].
