HSBC Global Research expected China's top three airline stocks to post profits in 1Q24, while resilient travel data from the Ching Ming and Labour Day holidays suggested a positive outlook for 2Q. Despite continued pressure from fuel prices, foreign exchange and yields, the broker expected the big three to swing into a profit in 2Q24.

The broker cut its profit forecasts for the three major mainland airlines by 19% and 18% for 2024 and 2025, reflecting higher fuel costs and lower yields, as fares fall in line with capacity increases.
