Cut the spam please - your reminding me of some other characters we've had.

Thanks Scotty. I have read that but at the end of the day the shareholders will vote on the takeover bid, not the board (they will only recommend) and if the previous post of mostly institutional and Stelios holders is correct then small investors are irrelevant / COOKED!

That means a forced sale & forced capital gain, not good for me.

I think anything less that £7 is basically robbing us blind.

The assets are worth £11B so I would say at least 75% of that which puts it in the £8-9 range. And I don't want shares in AF/KLM or MSC as payment.

Loving the weekend news. KLM interested, MSC approach. What I still fear is a bargain takeover followed by a Clearlake splitting and reaping the rewards. This will be bad for consumers and bad for shareholders.

What we really need is a competing bid to fully restore capitalisation.

The peaks at the end of the day must surely be the shorters taking all the available liquidity.

The sellers and Iran are gave them the biggest 'let off' ever.

I'm not selling. Been in so long I can't :-) GLA.

Still here, sold nothing! Selling is boring.

Waiting for the offer ........ & then the bidding

Totally makes sense for CastleLake to sound out MSC and Wizz the people who showed previous interest. A 3 way deal would create the widest European airline (great for Wizz), consolidate routes (great for reducing competition) , offload excess aircraft (old and new) and excess slots not required (Great for greedy bankers).

The risk is they take the whole thing private at a bargain price and the current shareholders get royally sh4fted just to see the others double their money in 6 months.

Hold the line all! this is the belated beginning.

The is RR at 70p or AIG at 94p - still on the taxi way.

Don't sell! HOLD to Rinse the shorters, they need the market.

Put them off? Put them off an opportunist go-private then refloat that robs the shareholders?

Stellios is another one who can whistle, keeping the name rights was another investor scam. It would serve him right if they carved it up.

Easy defence = Dual US / NYC Listing. Just like RRY.

Well with no US market open until the afternoon Monday will be crazy!

Id like £10 :-) or it's a N.O.

Taking it private is a slap in the face for investors. A total asset grab in fact. The management are a disgrace that they let the assets build this high without supporting the share price with a buy back or even a positive word. Hopefully the big boys see the potential.

On a plus note, Burn u shorting leeches BURN!

As with all shares, the UK mentality holds it back - too pessimistic, let all go around yelling and hollering and we might get 40x valuations like the US average.

£4.7 billion of liquidity and net cash of £434 million

£5.0 billion book value of owned assets

But the airline magic makes the market cap: £2.59b

So the good will is worth £-7 Billion

EasyJet plc reported a headline loss before tax of £552 million for the six months ending 31 March 2026, an increase from the £394 million loss in the prior year, impacted by £25 million in additional fuel costs and £32 million in increased legal provisions, alongside a 6% rise in passenger numbers to 42 million and a 2 percentage point improvement in load factor to 90%. The company's balance sheet remains strong with £4.7 billion in liquidity and £434 million in net cash, while easyJet holidays saw a 22% customer growth and contributed £61 million in headline profit before tax. The airline anticipates continued near-term uncertainty due to the Middle East conflict, affecting forward bookings and fuel costs, but plans to operate its full summer schedule and is focused on medium-term targets through disciplined growth and fleet modernization.
