If there was a point in time where this company would be poised for maximum profitability, this would be it. With such a heavy focus on travel and tourism in the period leading up to the Olympic games (going on right now), China's airports have been busier than ever, and hosting a far greater number of wealthy visitors than normal. So it comes as no surprise that AirMedia, who were already executing extremely well this time last year, are growing revenues and profits at a rate that would make most companies green with envy.
While it's possible that the firm could see a slight dip in Q3 after the fanfare is over, China's airports are overtaxed, and will only get worse as more people find the financial means to travel inside the big country. Combined with a higher savings rate and more expendable income than ever, it would seem that AirMedia's chosen digital signage real estate should produce valuable returns over the long haul.
