Do you think the Hong Kong-Singapore travel bubble could potentially be the beginning of SIA's rise again?

Hey there this could be a great article to read, written by our investment analyst in Seedly (Sudhan) https://blog.seedly.sg/singapore-airlines-sgx-c...

Highlights and main reasons why it is not such a good long term idea:

1. SIA is operating in a price-sensitive industry, and that doesn’t bode well for the long-term as an investor.

2. Cash is tied up to upkeep SIA’s young fleet, and that means money cannot be used to grow its business or pay increasing dividends.

3. SIA’s balance sheet has been strengthened with the recent rights issues, but the question remains how long this can last.

4. In my opinion, there are better places to invest our money in the long run.

Also the scary thing about the huge capital investment that SIA has to make every 5 years... to buy new planes

It is good news, but I won't be overly optimistic yet, especially with the occurences of a second wave of Covid-19 cases around the world. I think many people would be observing how the HK-SG travel bubble works out (in terms of Covid).

As for SIA's rise, I think it will take some time for it to happen. It definitely wouldn't happen overnight, as the company still has to deal with all the "debt" it has incurred over this period, before it can start "profitting" again. The main question on everyone's minds would be - how long till it happens, assuming it does happen?
