The companies
CPACopa Holdings, S.A.
Why now
Airlines · market cap $5.9b. 18% off the 52-week high of $160.47. PEG 0.94 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 15 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $177.73 (implying +35% upside).
Moat
Net margin 19% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 24% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately.
Risk
Value re-rating depends on a catalyst. Without one — analyst day, divestiture, margin recovery, capital return — the stock can stay cheap on these multiples for years.
KNXKnight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc.
Why now
Trucking · market cap $11.3b. 16% off the 52-week high of $82.86. PEG 0.51 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 19 sell-side analysts publish a mean 1-yr target of $88.63 (implying +27% upside).
Moat
Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income — non-cash charges (depreciation, intangible amortization) are holding down GAAP earnings while cash generation stays strong.
Risk
Net margin 0.5% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. ROE 0% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.

Where CPA and KNX diverge
On the headline score the gap is 24.9 points in favor of CPA. The widest single difference is Quality, where CPA leads by 32.4 points.
- QualityCPA 77.7 · KNX 45.3CPA +32.4
- GrowthCPA 50.0 · KNX 23.9CPA +26.1
- ValueCPA 77.7 · KNX 69.5CPA +8.2
Pillars run 0–100 against sector peers, so a score is a statement about a company relative to its own industry rather than to the other name here. A wide Value gap usually means the market already prices the difference in quality or growth — which is the trade-off this comparison comes down to.
