| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $16.0B | +5.9% | +17.0% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $5.3B | +8.4% | +18.9% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +70.1% | +4.8% | -3.8% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +56.0% | +4.6% | -1.9% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +33.5% | +2.3% | +1.6% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $7.4B | +25.3% | +3.8% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +46.1% | +18.3% | -11.3% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 120.7% | +9.3% | +44.1% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 1.32x | +0.8% | -41.2% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $30.9B | +13.6% | -0.5% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |

Please be reminded that certain statements made during the course of our discussion today may constitute forward-looking statements, which are based on current management expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including factors that may be beyond our control.

Domestic passenger traffic grew by 0.6% as compared to the second quarter of 2025.

These routes collectively added over 23,000 passengers during the quarter, representing 61% of the total domestic passenger growth. International passenger traffic decreased by 1.2% mainly driven by our Monterrey Airport with lower traffic on the Los Angeles, Dallas, Fort Worth, and San Antonio routes. In terms of growth by airline, Volaris, which accounted for 25% of our total passenger traffic in the quarter, recorded a 7% growth versus the second quarter of 2025 while Viva, which accounted for 50% of total passenger traffic, recorded a 2% decline. During the quarter, airlines opened 24 new routes across our airports, including 18 domestic and 6 international routes. This included the launch of Aeroméxico's new route to Paris in April as well as Iberia's new route to Madrid in June, marking the airline's first-ever operation in Monterrey. The Paris route generated more than 14,000 passengers during the quarter. Following its strong initial performance, the route was converted from a seasonal to a permanent year-round operation, further increasing Monterrey's connectivity with Europe.

Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V. (OMAB) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte NASDAQ: OMAB reported second-quarter 2026 passenger traffic of 7.2 million, up 0.4% from a year earlier, as growth in domestic travel offset a decline in international traffic. The airport operator said adjusted EBITDA rose 6.2% to MXN 2.7 billion, while consolidated net income increased 10.2% to MXN 1.5 billion.

Mexican airport operators are in the news thanks to Mexico being a co-host of the World Cup. World Cup events will boost OMAB's Q2 2026 traffic, but this is a one-off; sustained growth is anchored in Mexico's industrial expansion and reshoring trends. Centro Norte trades at 15x forward earnings and just under 11x EV/EBITDA, with analysts projecting a return to low-teens revenue growth in 2027.

Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMAB) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.
