(UAL): 13% ## Revenue Scale & Growth Durability What the numbers say: LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is the scale leader at $15,072 million, 299.7% ahead of Copa Holdings, S.A.. LATAM Airlines Group S.A.'s growth is 16.7% from a $15,072 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale. Investor read: LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is the scale benchmark; LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns. This conclusion weakens if: LATAM Airlines Group S.A.'s growth falls below LATAM Airlines Group S.A.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses. Evidence: LATAM Airlines Group S.A. · $15,072 million | 299.7% versus #2 · Copa Holdings, S.A. | 8/8 recent comparable periods | 4/16 companies · 290 observations Definition: Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress. ### Revenue — largest 1. LATAM Airlines Group S.A. (LTM): ₹15.1K Cr 2. Copa Holdings, S.A. (CPA): ₹3.8K Cr 3.

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. has the strongest latest improvement at +1.9 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability. Investor read: LATAM Airlines Group S.A. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal. Evidence: LATAM Airlines Group S.A. · 8% | 29% versus #2 · Ryanair Holdings plc | 6/8 recent comparable periods | 16/16 companies · 309 observations Definition: ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability. ### ROCE — highest 1. LATAM Airlines Group S.A. (LTM): 8.0% 2. Ryanair Holdings plc (RYAAY): 6.2% 3.

Only 2 of 16 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree. Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal. Evidence: LATAM Airlines Group S.A. · 0.2× | 48.7% versus #2 · Copa Holdings, S.A. | 0/7 recent comparable periods | 2/16 companies · 31 observations Definition: PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing. ### PEG — lowest PEG 1.

A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason. - A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment. - The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed. - An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion. - Thin comparisons: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings. ## Every company - Delta Air Lines, Inc.

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. ranks first at 64.6/100 with 81.1% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation. ### Which Airlines company has the lowest comparable PEG? LATAM Airlines Group S.A. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.2, among 2 of 16 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything. ### How much history does this Airlines comparison include? The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated. ### How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated? The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral. ### Which Airlines company is the biggest? LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $15,072 million, ahead of Copa Holdings, S.A. at $3,771 million. That covers 4 of 16 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026. ### Which Airlines company has the best profit margins? Copa Holdings, S.A. has the highest operating margin at 24.6%, from 16 of 16 comparable companies. Southwest Airlines Co. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +8.1 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking. ### Which Airlines company makes the most profit? LATAM Airlines Group S.A. earns the most, at $1,685 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 4 of 16 comparable companies. LATAM Airlines Group S.A. has the fastest profit growth at 51.5%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed. ### Which Airlines company earns the highest return on capital? LATAM Airlines Group S.A. leads on return on capital employed at 8%, across 16 of 16 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year. ### Which Airlines stock is the cheapest? On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — LATAM Airlines Group S.A. screens cheapest at 0.2×. Only 2 of 16 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own. ### Is the Airlines sector beating the market? Airlines has outperformed S&P 500 by 15% over the last 52 weeks and 7.5% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 9 of 14 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it. ### Which Airlines stock has the strongest price momentum? Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all. ### Which Airlines company scores highest for research priority? LATAM Airlines Group S.A. scores 64.6 out of 100 with 81.1% evidence confidence, from 28.9 points on growth and earnings, 16.5 on capital efficiency, 16.1 on valuation and 3.1 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research. ### How many Airlines companies does this comparison cover, and over what period? It compares 16 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data. ### What is the total market cap of the Airlines sector? The 16 Airlines companies on this page carry $217,209 million of combined market value. Delta Air Lines, Inc. is the largest at $60,678 million, about 28% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04. ### What is the Airlines sector's P/E ratio? The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 16 Airlines companies on this page is 15.5×, measured on the 15 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-04. ### How is the Airlines sector performing? 9 of the 14 covered Airlines companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 15% ahead of S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-04. ### How many Airlines stocks are listed in the US? This comparison covers 16 listed Airlines companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data. ### Why are some values on this page blank? A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad. ### Is this investment advice? No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
