Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls Say
Revenue RecoveryRevenue recovery across domestic and international passenger and cargo operations indicates restored demand and network utilization. The sharp TTM increase, following 2024 growth, gives Air China a stronger operating base from which to spread fixed airline costs and rebuild earnings over the next several quarters.
Positive Cash GenerationPositive operating and free cash flow through 2023–TTM shows the airline can convert operations into cash even while reported earnings are negative. That cash generation supports fleet, network and service investment and provides a practical buffer for ongoing obligations, although its durability depends on maintaining demand and cost discipline.
Broad Network PositionAir China is China’s flag carrier with domestic coverage and international routes spanning Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. This broad network and associated aviation services create multiple traffic corridors and customer touchpoints, supporting scale and diversification beyond a single route or market.
Bears Say
Persistent LossesNet income is negative in every period shown, while operating profit is negative in 2025 and TTM. Persistent losses indicate that revenue recovery has not yet translated into durable reported profitability, limiting internally funded growth and leaving results exposed to continued cost, pricing or non-operating pressure.
High LeverageTTM debt-to-equity remains about 3.9x, after reaching roughly 5.5x in 2025 and 9.1x in 2022. Although leverage improved, the still-heavy debt burden and negative ROE reduce financial flexibility, increase downside if demand or fares soften, and can constrain capital allocation.
Weak Debt Deleveraging CapacityTTM free cash flow declined about 37%, and operating cash flow covers only roughly one-third of total debt. This combination suggests cash generation is not yet sufficient to rapidly reduce leverage, making balance-sheet repair dependent on sustained operating improvement and leaving less room for fleet or network investment.
