TAV Airports Holding is upgraded to strong buy with a $39.10 base target, implying 35% upside. Despite uninspiring 2026 guidance and Middle East turmoil, TAVHY's concession-based model shields it from significant volume-driven revenue shocks. EBITDA margins are set to improve in 2026, with multi-year growth forecasts of 6.8% sales and 8.3% EBITDA through 2028.
TAV Airports benefits from high inflation in Turkey and Kazakhstan, as most of its revenue is in hard currencies while many costs are in local currencies. The company's core business model involves long-term airport operating rights, providing stable cash flows and a durable competitive moat. With major investments recently completed, TAV is entering a low-capex phase that should boost free cash flow.
