Cargojet Inc (TSX:CJT) stocks surged by almost 10 per cent in the last one week following some corporate announcements.
The C$ 3-billion company, which operates an air cargo network across 14 major cities in Canada, is set to release its fourth quarter and year-end results for fiscal 2021 on March 7, said an announcement on January 12.
As floods in British Columbia left railway lines, roads and ports inundated, dependence on air cargo shipments increased massively near the end of 2021. Due to this, many market analysts have set their expectations high for Cargojet, which they believe is implementing a long-term growth strategy by investing in infrastructure and aircraft.
On January 10, the Mississauga, Ontario-based aviation company also renewed and extended its air cargo service agreements with two key customers in the country. These agreements are timed for three years and include two renewal options of one year each.
