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:

Positives
-Toll booth like business that [Buffett] would love.
-Solid balance sheet with nearly $2.33 a share net cash.
-Huge Moat, Government has given it exclusive rights to operate in it's region for the next few decades.
-Shareholder friendly management paying a 10.5% Yield, I'll happily keep money here and earn 10% while waiting for travel to pick up

Risks
-Government could always change their mind.
