Any thoughts for Share Price close on Friday following the results?
Let's have a bit of fun now that we're back of 180. I'm going to stick my neck out at say good solid results, 200!
If there is any mention of the dividend re introduction, I would estimate 196p. But would be more than happy to see it finish higher.
Hoping £2.00 but we’re still awaiting for the Moodys upgrade noted on 18th March Int'l Consolidated Airlines Group, S.A.: Update following placement of ratings on review for upgrade. If upgraded this would allow IAG to start dividend payments again and the we’re looking at 2.40+
I thought I had read that the Moody update was timed to be after the Q1 data.
But who knows in this world possibly the Co, may have the nod from them on what to expect, and hopefully reintroduce a divi.
Well we have a day to wait.
I go for 194 open Friday, with a close of 202

Not sure about Friday. Even if the figures are good (like Jaqueline Bisset's figure good), if there is no mention of restoring the dividend, that may be frowned upon, and reflected in the price. A positive outlook for the summer months, and the announcement of even a small dividend, could see a major uplift. On the upside, we are coming at it from a (relatively) positive place - less than a month ago, we were sub 160, and two months ago just above 140 - so a starting point of over 180 is quite comforting. If we should have good news, and hit 190 plus on Friday, I will be selling a small chunk, and reinvesting it in the (now mythical) bottle of Dom Perignon, and inviting my local barmaid to join me in a celebratory meal - no expense spared - ie, go large, and have extra fries, possibly even a milkshake. Never let it be said that I don't know how to treat a lady.
Bobbins - its a quarterly financial update - there will be no mention of dividends as normal -it wont affect the share price one bit
OJ (no relation, I hope) - thanks for that, it reduces the potential volatility and I have had enough that for one week. Or a lifetime. I'll settle for 186'ish at close on Friday.
Agreed. These are not full year results.
The current riseis, I think, based on what we already know about how busy Heathrow is, forward booking numbers etc.
The pessimist in me anticipates maybe even a small drop but I’ll hope for 185; for now
OJ
It is quite normal for companies to issue a dividend announcement at a quarterly financial update. Shareholders would also be notified directly. Whether they will or not is the question.
Whatever happens lets hope we keep moving up.

I would love to see divi re-instatement but realistically I can't see happening that until IAG debt levels are dramatically reduced from current levels.
If we can hold in the 180s after next results I believe that is a good result, then I would be looking for continued revenue and profit improvement plus debt reduction, before divs restarting later this year.
Thanks for all your comments, it would be good to get a few more on here so far we have:
gulfharbour 180s
Dan66 185

D9ber1 - 200

Thanks all, keep adding your predictions if you haven't already!! I'm off to do some work now will update the list later. Will be a bit of fun and hopefully drive momentum of SP (if only) :-)
I see 2.00 but only if an indication on dividends is given
Not expecting a raise from results, I am thinking they are built in now. So 180p will be fine for me although disappointment on the day could see it drop temporarily , the pressure is upwards to 2.40.
Personally I think more debt reduction this FY with divs next year.
But what do I know lol 😂
192
I see dividends as key here. A fund manager would probably get sacked if he added a stock without dividend return. With dividends however it changes the game and gets the big boys playing.
I am optimistic about this but its always disappointed thus far 187 for me, although would like nothing more than for me to be wrong
