OMA Airports' stock has surged 29.4% since November, outperforming the S&P 500, despite trade tensions between the US and Mexico. Monterrey's nearshoring potential and capacity cap at Mexico City present growth opportunities, but trade turmoil and GDP growth concerns pose risks. Operating income remains stable despite a 9.4% rise in costs and an 81.8% increase in concession taxes, with strong EBITDA margins.

Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V. aka OMAB has experienced much better operational results over the past quarter. I believe the sharp upturn in the company's traffic more than offsets the current risks from potential tariffs and a slowdown in the Mexican economy. It's my view that the analyst consensus is too low for the company's 2025 results, setting the stage for quarterly numbers that beat expectations.
After reaching an important support level, Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte S.A.B. de C.V. (OMAB) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective.
Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte's Q3 results beat analyst estimates, with a 1.4% revenue rise driven by strong non-aeronautical revenues despite a decline in aeronautical revenues. Higher concession taxes are impacting margins, with adjusted operating margins decreasing from 71% to 67% and adjusted EBITDA declining by 3.8%. Despite the margin pressure, OMAB stock still has a 48% upside potential, maintaining a buy rating with a price target of $93.60.

OMA's Q2'24 results beat expectations with better than expected non-aero revenue and cost control, despite challenges in the operating environment and weaker traffic. OMA's traffic held up well compared to its peers and per-passenger non-aero revenue continues to grow nicely, as management reaps past investments into cargo and logistics assets. The traffic outlook for 2024 is not great, with Volaris grounding jets for engine repairs and a weaker macro backdrop, but nearshoring could drive meaningful growth over the next 5 years.
Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMAB) has become technically an oversold stock now, which implies exhaustion of the heavy selling pressure on it. This, combined with strong agreement among Wall Street analysts in revising earnings estimates higher, indicates a potential trend reversal for the stock in the near term.
