International Airlines Share Price (IAG)

FTSE 100 constituent stocks are bought in by institutions for their dividend yield. At least , historically. So someone like IAG , when it halts or doesn't indicate when it is going to payout a divi, will automatically face a downgrade in SP as a result of the anticipated yield decreasing. So even if quarterly results are looking good as in the case of IAG, the "extra cap return" depends if the BoD is going to make some noises about divi. Which means that if say Earnings suggest a 5% improvement over same period last year, expect the SP to re-rate around this magnitude. BUT if the BoD makes a noise about divi, it will jump to the higher end of the analysts' forecasts that we have been seeing in the past few months ( ie 220 or so).

OK the pandemic is over and IAG is achieving record sales. But there has been little recovery at all. Trading at a P/E of 4! Everyone is afraid something will happen and sure things will happen - but if people start launching Nukes - it doesn't matter what share you have. I don't understand the current valuation so I am holding firm unless someone can justify why the valuation is so low.

Sold some iag I had bought for a quick trade..invested it in CCL which is low and is due a big bounce soon IMO. We shall see in the summer how they do. DYOR.

@Conger2 - after nearly 3 years of PAIN - now is not the time to falter in your IAG journey.

We may have finally left the gate and are heading for the runway barring a tire puncture or a bird attach on the engine :)
