Azul (NYSE:AZUL) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a hold rating to a sell rating. Zacks Investment Research currently has $14.00 target price on the stock.

Domestic traffic rose 52.6% from the year ago reading. Also, strong e-commerce demand is boosting Azul’s cargo business unit. The company generated net revenues of R$1.1 billion in 2021, which is double the level achieved in 2019. However, despite the improvement, air traffic is below 2019 levels. Fourth-quarter 2021 traffic was down 3.8% from the fourth-quarter 2019 reading. Weakness in international travel demand (down 68.5% in fourth-quarter 2021 from the fourth-quarter 2019 reading) is concerning.
