Analyst coverage on Smartkarma for Eva Airways showcases a positive outlook from top independent analysts. Mohshin Aziz, in the report titled “Eva Airways (2618 TT, BUY, TP:TWD34.90) The Best, but Not the Cheapest”, highlights the airline’s strong position due to robust passenger and cargo demand, along with a rebound in corporate travel. The analysis suggests favorable conditions continuing until the first half of 2024, with a target price of TWD34.90 based on a 13.4x FY2024 PE ratio, offering an 11% upside and a 5.9% dividend yield.

Similarly, Daniel Hellberg‘s report, “Thanks to High Cargo Yields & Early Tourism Rebound, EVA & CAL Remain Highly Profitable in H223“, emphasizes EVA Airways’ profitability driven by high air cargo rates and a recovery in Taiwanese tourism demand. Contrary to market expectations of a profit drop in 2024, the analysis indicates a positive outlook, especially considering the strong performance of Taiwanese carriers during the pandemic. Investors may be underestimating Eva Airways‘ resilience and potential for sustained profitability.
