What the valuation shows
The market capitalization of USD 716.1 million is paired with negative trailing earnings, so the current price picture is better read through the trading range and operating metrics than through a positive earnings multiple. The contrast between 14.20 percent international traffic growth and a 3.80 percent domestic decline also gives the stock a clear geographic split.
