Pzena Investment Management Richard Pzena | “Wizz Air, a leading European ultra-low-cost airline, sold off due to Pratt & Whitney engine issues that grounded part of its fleet, ballooning maintenance costs and collapsing margins. Pzena believes these are temporary, with technical fixes identified and liquidity strong. Trading near 6x depressed earnings and 4x normalized earnings, the firm increased its stake, viewing Wizz as a structurally advantaged operator positioned for recovery as fleet normalization occurs. BSD Analysis: Wizz Air is a high-growth, ultra-low-cost carrier with unmatched cost discipline and one of the youngest fleets in Europe. Post-COVID recovery is strong, and capacity expansion is aggressive. Operational volatility remains a problem, but demand trends remain firmly in Wizz's favor. Fuel hedging and fleet strategy give it a long-term cost edge. The stock trades at a discount because investors fear EU macro and operational stumbles. But Wizz has consistently outgrown peers. A high-beta aviation growth story with major upside if execution steadies.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
