The last year or so has had its ups and downs for Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMAB),
also known as “OMA”. The prospect, and then reality, of Donald Trump's
victory in the U.S. Presidential election took away almost a third of
the stock's value in late 2016 despite healthy traffic numbers, as
investors worried that this Mexico-centric airport operator would suffer
disproportionately from a change in U.S.-Mexico relations.
Since
then, a lot of optimism toward Mexico and Mexican equities has
returned, lifting the shares back to within 10% of their all-time high.
Still, while I do believe OMA is a well-run airport operator, I don't
think an “all clear” is entirely reasonable at this point. Mexico's
economy is doing pretty well, true, but rates are rising, there is still
political/trade risk with the new U.S. administration, Mexican airlines
have been adding quite a bit of capacity, and next year will see a new
election cycle in Mexico.
