If your in though, its always best to be out with your history! You've heard that plenty of times before.

Yes I lost money here .....but I also made money back trading it under 21 half a dozen times...
Most people have to work you arrogant moron ....you are the bitter poisoned one that is for sure ...complete hypocrite too...you hated wizz when ever I was in ot ah...forget that did you ? Then you start preaching about how great it is ....how is your pfc going ....
I think your wise Pike, it has been on a good little run of late and does have a habit of dipping regularly, so likely going to continue that pattern. So as you suggest prob best to tuck the profits away and bide your time for another bite should/when that happens.

WAR is inevitable, guys! Bibi want to stay in power until the election in 2026. The only way for him is make more war! And I think if Democrats also stay in power they would play Israel-Iran war, too. Maybe you have chance with Trump. Maybe... And do not forget if Democrats lose the election they can start Israel-Iran "game" after the election in November or December.

Well that didnt turn out to be a good day.
Theres always tomorrow
Good update from EZJ, the momentum continues!
Double bagger guaranteed!
No, they can't lease more aircraft from anywhere, there aren't enough planes in the world. in addition, Airbus productions are also delayed due to supply chain problems. Wizz Air will be in big trouble next year too! especially in the second half of the year, and this causes big uncertainty in the share price.
+ they will lose market in CEE region, because Ryanair is expanding there. powerful market-leading company with strong capital and professional management, they will push down Wizz Air -> huge profit loss!
They will lease aircraft and pratt and Whitney will pay for it.
Spike: Cinderella is dreaming... How about the 18 months long Pratt and Whitney issue? As we see now (if Varadi is telling the truth, if... ) it will have an impact on this year, next year and the year after, 45 aircraft, 25% of the fleet! therefore, analysts reduced next year's net profit from 600 million to 470 million, 646 (800) in F26... thats why you see 1x price level instead of 5x...
Only one thing I can promise you in connection with this: next strike will be the last strike in the life of this company!
Did you know that? Varadi owned an online store, it also went bankrupt last year 🤡🤡🤡

Sounds like a great future for Wizz
Wizz Air plans to more than double its current aircraft portfolio to 500 by 2030-2032, aiming to operate one million flights annually.
The airline's expansion strategy includes adding more Airbus A320 and A321neo jets, with a focus on longer routes and new subsidiaries.
Wizz Air's growth ambitions also involve establishing new base airports, creating new airline companies, and doubling its current workforce.
Anyone noticed the price hikes from Sept '24 onward? I am a Privilege pass member, some locations like Milan have tripled in price.
I can only assume from this weeks drop that results are below consensus
Thank you FlakMagnet for the link to the article. Very interesting reading, won't change much in terms of SP but good to know what mr. Varady is up to. He certainly is very capable and well educated man. I hold him in very high regard. It is very true that circumstances no one could foresee are to blame for the bad fortunes at Wizz. (Ukraine, Israel, P&W) Without these we can only imagine where the SP would be now.
Good luck to All long time holders

Having said that, Wizz has seen a strong tailwind in rampant travel demand — in July, it reached a new record-high number of passengers flown, with over 6m passengers travelling that month. Therefore, the case for buying Wizz Air shares over easyJet would be the fact that there’s more growth potential to realise. If the Hungarian firm can circumvent its current challenges successfully, its shares could rise by as much as 82%, according to analysts’ consensus, as indicated by the graph below.

This will reduce the ***cost of fuel*** and surpress inflation generally.

When was that then
From 7 hrs ago
Wizz Air Holdings PLC (AIM:WIZZ) is set to report a return to profitability in full-year results on Thursday, May 23.
However, aircraft groundings relating to Pratt & Whitney engine issues and geopolitical tensions are among challenges set to have bound the operator over the year.
Wizz said in April net income would sit between €350-€370 million for the year, against a €535.1 loss in 2023, while revenue of as much as €5.1 billion would mark a near one-third increase.
However, Liberum analysts noted costs had been “flattered” by compensation from Pratt & Whitney over the engine recalls.
Unit revenue should be growing faster too, analysts said, given capacity constraints that will result in flat growth this year coupled with booming travel demand.
Though still solid booking trends for the upcoming summer were “reassuring”, Liberum hit the airline with a ‘sell’ rating over concerns high debt had not been recognised in its valuation.
Alongside this, Wizz warned the situation in Israel was being watched closely after flights had been temporarily grounded following an outbreak of conflict in the Middle East in October.

At close there are more sells than buys, (as reported by LSE) ... tipped by the 3m sell that went through at the end of the day.... but was it a buy or a sell? could be either really as I believe the nature of the trade is derived from the price and whether its closest to the bid or offer.
Good question. Another is when I make a hefty buy or sale, why don't I see it reflected in share activity until the end of the day?
Can anyone explain how the stock goes down if there is 2X more buys than sells please?
