Core ex-Argentina airports (Italy, Brazil, Armenia, Ecuador) delivered double-digit EBITDA growth, but the Argentina segment (~45% of group EBITDA) continues to pressure profitability due to domestic airline capacity cuts and FX inflation. The $150M dividend signals management confidence, but recurring margin compression (450bps) and flat traffic warrant caution. Monitor the Argentina concession rebalancing and 2H26 international traffic recovery for a catalyst.
