An update from Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste ( (ASR) ) is now available.

On April 7, 2026, ASUR reported that total passenger traffic across its network reached 6.6 million travelers in March 2026, up 0.6% versus March 2025, with year-to-date traffic rising 1.9%. Performance was mixed by region: Colombia posted a strong 12.5% increase driven by double-digit growth in both domestic and international segments, while Mexico and Puerto Rico saw respective declines of 2.4% and 2.3%, weighed by softer international flows in Mexico and lower domestic volumes in San Juan.

The figures, which compare March 1–31, 2026 with the same period in 2025 and reflect an earlier Easter holiday this year, underscore ASUR’s growing exposure to Colombia as a key driver of traffic growth, partially offsetting pressure in its mature Mexican and Puerto Rican markets. In Mexico, a 4.0% drop in international passengers, particularly at Cancun, contrasted with resilience or growth at smaller airports, while Puerto Rico’s slight international uptick could not counter a broader domestic slowdown, signaling shifting travel dynamics for airlines, tourism stakeholders and investors across the group’s portfolio.

The most recent analyst rating on (ASR) stock is a Hold with a $365.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste stock, see the ASR Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on ASR Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ASR is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial quality (strong margins/returns) but tempered by weaker cash flow and higher leverage versus last year. Valuation is supportive thanks to a reasonable P/E and very high dividend yield, while technical signals are soft in the near term. Earnings-call commentary adds moderate optimism from expansion initiatives, offset by clear near-term cost and profitability pressures.
