LONDON, May 19 (newratings.com) - Analyst Chris Reid of Deutsche Bank downgrades British Airways PLC (BAY2-GBX) from "buy" to "sell," while reducing his estimates for the company. The target price has been reduced from 361p to 200p. In a research note published this morning, the analyst mentions that although its full-year results were healthy, the company has pointed towards challenging industry conditions. The bulk of British Airways’ network is making losses and the company needs to substantially resize its capacity offering, the analyst says. The company seems to be losing its ability to improve pricing while sustaining volumes, Deutsche Bank adds. The EPS estimates for FY09 and FY10 have been reduced from 28.8p to 9.7p and from 37.5p to 15.8p, respectively. more concerning,Deustche warned clients that BA is losing its profitability advantage over rivals and said it believes "the majority of it s routes,especially those in Europe and the Far East,are now lossmaking". the carrier is failing to pass onrising input coststo customers and this will hit earnings per share despite cost-cutting costs. if ba is really making a loss as stated above then this is really worrying!..
so it looks like another bb performance,damn.
wondering what range the sp will be in this wk,hope its 440's or a bit more.and that it does nt keep going down bit by bit every day like bb otherwise i just dump now..
what level will the sp bounce back to,if any?suppose it may not revisit 500 for a very long time again,but 470-80?
(A&L) released its interim management statement this morning. The key takeaways from the report were reassuring comments on funding (A&L is now funded until Q2 2009) and the fact that asset quality remains reassuringly strong. Further, a rumoured rights issue has not materialised. However, it is clear that A&L is shrinking its core mortgage book and the main disappointment (and the reason for today’s share price weakness) concerns the further charges that it has taken. There is an additional £139 million impairment loss on treasury assets through the income statement, a £53 million fair value reduction on treasury assets through the income statement as well as a £199 million charge in reserves reflecting to the treasury assets. All in all, this was more than the market was expecting and offsets the positives highlighted earlier.
yes u did,but it was merely an informed opinion not a certainty like a broker upgrade or m/a.you were right this time!
another rise today,touching1000!
why the big rise today?just because it looked undervalued?
apparentley its due to going exdiv.,according to news on this site,-thomsonfinancenews-yet on digitallook there's no xdiv date or amount of div,258 down is abit too much for a div.?was thinking of buying but....let me know if you find the did. details!
is expected to report net profits of £685m, compared with £448m for the same quarter a year ago.
anyone recommend this for a daytrade tommorrow,set to announce increase in 1st qt profits from about 400M to 800M.could go up 4-5% tommorrow?
i think i'll sell,thats where most my investment is and i need it to trade.in one yr i would have recouped the loss and made more than just holding.there was a trend analyst on bloomberg over the weekend saying he thinks oil will come down to around $100 in a wk or so!lets hope he's right.
mark-expat wrote:(12 apr) if this continues over the next 3 trading sessions , with BA going "ex-div on Wednesday" , their shares are likely to drop 3% before wednesday and a further 3% on Wednesday , going ex-div?!?!!! where did u hear this from? wrote: -hope you got out heyhey,gl no i still have nt,new to this sharedealing game and have nt taken a loss yet.if i do it would be a hefty one,i bought in at 329,and if i take the loss it'll be hard.i guess yesterdays high of 225 was the best i could have got,with the imminent profit warning on may 16.do u think may 16th could be another point of no return in terms of sp.so may be should sell at best price before then.i have to work hard to recoup the loss afterwards.
