Pabrai Wagons Fund Mohnish Pabrai | “TAV Airports manages 15 airports across 8 countries alongside essential commercial ancillary operations including duty-free shops, ground handling, and aviation software, representing 5.8% of the fund. The manager maintains a strongly bullish thesis, viewing the company as dramatically undervalued relative to global airport concession peers. The business benefits from an entrenched economic moat through long-duration airport concession assets and strong operational leverage; annual passenger traffic expansion of 6% to 9% is expected to drive cash flow growth at more than twice that rate. Illustrating superior capital allocation, TAV's $120 million equity investment in Almaty International Airport generated $112 million in annual EBITDA by 2025, while ancillary divisions alone are assessed to exceed the company's entire market valuation. Upcoming catalysts involve passenger volume growth across Central Asian and Turkish routes and earnings growth from recently modernized terminals. Risks include international travel downturns, regional geopolitical conflicts, and concession renewal negotiations.” | BULL | Q3 2026 Oct 4, 2026 | View Pitch |
Pabrai Wagons Fund Mohnish Pabrai | “TAV operates 15 airports in 8 countries. TAV has high operating leverage: in our view, if passengers grow 6-9% annually, cash flow may grow at more than 2x that. We believe it is led by an exceptional management team and is very cheap compared to other global airport operators. TAV has many related business units including ATU (duty free), Havas (ground handling), TAV Technologies (airport software), etc. In our view, these business units are worth more than the entire market cap of TAV. In 2021, TAV purchased 85% of Almaty International Airport in Kazakhstan. They invested $120 million of equity in 2021. TAV's share of Almaty EBITDA was $112 million in 2025.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 4, 2026 | View Pitch |
