Over on CAPS, fully 632 of the 658 members who have rated Pacific Airport -- some 96% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include simon78 and bmw201030.
In January, simon78 shared this balanced take on the stock: "Great yield, and low price to book. Main risk is that the government created the monopoly and could change its status in the same way."
In a pitch from late last month, bmw201030 expands on why Pacific Airport might take off (and crash) in the future:
