Slowly moving up, now up 3.2%

No big move one way or the other....... unusual.
At least it's up a bit!
Worth watching over the next few days.

Now that would be nice.

Actually, I'll change that.
£1.70 was popular with the share not so long ago.

£2.00 looks nailed on to me erm......... IMHO.

Now............. 4.3%

A minute later and it's now up 4.1%.............

Erm. Make that 3.8% up

presumably Goldman Sachs did not get their sums wrong after all.
IMHO even taking into consideration the share offering the sp should be at least £7.00.

I was half expecting good news from the airlines as having too many customers is rarely bad. Obviously we have yet to see the IAG results but if EZY and WIZZ results are anything to go by they should be good enough to lift the sp back to the £1.40 ish level it was glued to previously. That would be nice!
All IMO.

Here after the unexpected $1 billion share offer underwritten by Goldman Sachs last week the sp, after dropping even below the expected level seems to have levelled off. IMHO in view of the markets reaction to the half year report (3 weeks before the offer) whereby the sp went from just under £6 to £7.80 now the market has got over the shock the sp will rise from here.
We will see.

report. From about then until 21st July the sp went up from about £6.00 to £7.80 ish right?? So one can assume the market was happy with the half year report. Then THREE WEEKS LATER the Company raise $1 billion by selling an amount of shares equivalent to about 10% of the total shares in issue. This quite understandably made the sp instantly drop by about 10% to around £7.00. So far so good. I understand things to this point. It is logical.
What is annoying is the several % the sp has dropped since then. I could understand better if there was more than 3 weeks between the half year report and the share offer.
I conclude the market seems to have been spooked by this unexpected share offer just 3 weeks after the report. However there has not been a "half year report, revision A" has there? In fact there has been nothing apart from them raising a load of cash. So logically the sp should return to £7.00 IMHO, and soon.
All IMHO.

The whole travel industry is on the ebb, or just over it IMHO.
There is an overhang of worry about whether Co's will raise money.
CCL raised $1 billion the other day, knocking iver 10% off their share price.
Not good, but at least there is now plenty of cach in the bank (they raised another $1 billion just a few weeks ago). The last one was underwritten by Golman Sachs so presumably they have got their sums right.
As far as airlines go this lack of ground staff business is shocking. Having said that getting more ground work staff is just a matter of time. The oil price is the other problem of course but it's a matter of passing the costs on. I understand that BA do hedge so there should be some sort of buffer regarding the fueld costs. How much no doubt we will find out on Friday with the results.
I feel the sp is simply just unrealistically low. On the way down it paused at around £1.45 if memory serves. It also went fro £1.45 ish to £1.70 ish in a matter of weeks at one point only to go down again.
I'm hoping after the result it will go up to at least the £1.45 level before carrying on to the £1.70.
The bottom line IMHO is we are at or very close to the sp low, possibly for years to come.
All IMHO.

Competitive, but at a higher level IMHO.
I believe all airfares have increased and will probably increase more.
The airlines must be aware there are a limited number of flights and so no doubt they are/will be pricing accordingly.
All IMHO.

Market is wary of the results this Friday.
To me the future looks bright.
Staff will be hired, just a matter of time.
Only problem could be another nasty covid strain but the dominant ones seem to be fairly mild.
Fuel cost are/will be passed on to the passengers, obviously.
All in all looking very good for the forseeable...........
All IMHO.

The airlines have put the prices up as it is totally and utterly the completely and utterly obvious thing to do to reduce the amount of customers!!! I think at the moment and going forward the airlines are making a fortune. Pent up demand. People desperate to go on holiday. Airlines only have so many flights. So putting the prices up, and a lot is the thing to do!!
All IMHO.

All IMHO.

My word! What an excellent idea! Put the COST OF THE TICKETS UP ! Then we won't have so many annoying customers, and the ones we do have will have a better flying experience as there will be LESS STRESS!!!! Give that person a medal for suggesting this radical move!!! LOL!!!
All IMHO.

WE have TOO MANY CUSTOMERS! We desperately need a plan to put them off flying................... I know......... we will put the TICKETS UP MASSIVELY!! LOL!!!
All IMHO.
