Jet2 market cap= £2.3B
Wizz Air Market cap= £1.44B
Jet2 Profit 2030= £500m
Wizz Air Profit 2030= £850m (speculative of course)
If you're prepared to look beyond Wizz Air's current issues, it's price is much cheaper than Jet2.
Jet2 is handicapped (great company, I used to work for them)-it's limited to the UK market. The UK's GDP/Capita is negative. The British Government have decided that the Airline industry is their new source of growing revenue. They've already destroyed pubs, so now it's time for them to move to the next victim.
With a PE of a little over 5, Jet2 will produce a growing book value in the years ahead but the profits will be stagnant.
I suspect that Jet2 will be like a cigarette company, no growth, high profit, high dividend yield.
