Mobico Group PLC (formerly National Express) has heavily hedged its fuel prices to mitigate against volatility. As of early 2026, reports indicate that a substantial portion of the company's fuel costs are hedged for the next 18 months.
Key details regarding Mobico's fuel hedging include:
Long-Term Hedging: The company generally hedges fuel costs for extended periods, with recent reports indicating coverage for at least the next 12 to 18 months.
Protection Against Price Increases: This strategy is designed to insulate the group from sharp increases in oil prices, which have previously acted as a headwind for the transport operator.
Contractual Offsets: Besides direct hedging, approximately 60% to 70% of the group's revenue is tied to contracts with cost indexation, which further protects the company from inflationary pressures.
