Key Terms
public–private partnership, concessions, ADS, domestic traffic, +1 more
5 terms
public–private partnership financial
"San Juan Airport was the first and remains the only major airport in the U.S. to have successfully completed a public–private partnership under the FAA Pilot Program."
concessions financial
"a leading international airport operator with a portfolio of concessions to operate, maintain, and develop 16 airports across the Americas."
Concessions are deliberate incentives or compromises offered by a seller, issuer, or underwriter—such as price discounts, extra shares, fee reductions, or other sweeteners—to make an investment or transaction more attractive. Like a store marking down an item to entice buyers, concessions matter to investors because they lower expected returns or signal weaker demand, changing the true cost, value and risk of the deal.
ADS financial
"ASUR is listed on both the Mexican Bolsa (BMV) under the symbol ASUR, and on the NYSE in the U.S., where it trades under the symbol ASR. One ADS represents ten (10) B-series shares."
Ads are paid promotional messages a company places across media — online, on TV, in print, or on social platforms — to attract customers, explain products, or shape public perception. For investors, ads matter because they drive sales growth, affect how much a company must spend to win customers, and influence brand strength and long-term value. Ads can also create regulatory or reputational risk if claims are misleading, which can affect profits and stock price.
domestic traffic financial
"Growth in Colombia was driven by increases of 7.0% in domestic traffic and 5.4% in international traffic."
Domestic traffic is the flow of customers, users, shipments or activity a business sees inside its home country — for example store visits, website visitors, deliveries or passengers within national borders. Investors watch it because it shows how well a company is serving and growing its local market, reveals dependence on one economy, and affects revenue, costs and risk exposure; think of it like foot traffic through a mall that drives most of a store’s sales.
international traffic financial
"In Mexico, domestic traffic increased 1.3% and international traffic decreased 10.0%, while in Puerto Rico domestic traffic declined 4.4%, partially offset by a 2.0% increase in international traffic."
International traffic means people, data, shipments or transactions that cross national borders to use a product, service or platform—for example website visits, phone calls, flights or packaged goods moving between countries. Investors care because the amount and growth of international traffic show how widely a business reaches foreign customers, expose it to currency and regulatory risks, and signal opportunities for revenue expansion much like a store gaining shoppers from new neighborhoods.
