Some investors believe Copa is a structural exception the market consistently underprices because it's lumped in with the broader sector, with a Panama hub at the geographic center of the hemisphere that lets it serve 85 destinations using nothing but single-aisle 737s, a sub-6¢ ex-fuel cost base only Ryanair, Wizz Air, and a couple of others can match, a 99.8% completion rate that turns the \"missed flight\" tax hammering other carriers into one of Copa's structural cost advantages, and a 38-year CEO who has refused to expand into Europe or chase growth at any price. Join Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley as they work through whether Copa's hub-and-spoke economics are genuinely uncopiable or just holding off the gravity that has eventually captured nearly every other airline, examine what Copa's structural advantages actually look like in 2026 versus the \"all airlines destroy capital\" narrative the market still anchors to, and assess whether Copa Holdings deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio.
