For Embraer (NYSE:ERJ), which derives the majority of its sales outside Brazil, the real’s appreciation continued to present a headwind. The company has also been experiencing margin compression, mainly due to the mature state of its current product mix ahead of the launch of its next-generation models expected in 2018. We see the challenges facing Copa and Embraer as temporary in nature and we continue to believe they represent attractive investment opportunities.
