Go to sleep … you got school tomorrow

Wow you made 1.93 percent. Bravo. markets are volatile because of short-term flippers like you chasing tiny margins! And you bragging like you the man making gains. You funny

While other airlines are stuck trying to manage the chaos, Wizz has already done the heavy lifting by closing its Abu Dhabi base in 2025. This week's total suspension of flights to Israel and the UAE isn't a sign of weakness—it's a strategic retreat to Fortress Europe. By moving that aircraft capacity to high-demand routes in Spain, Italy, and the UK, Wizz Air is protecting its €1.98 billion cash pile from a conflict it can't control. They are no longer an "Arab growth" story; they are back to being the leanest, most efficient operator in Europe. This pivot back to the core market is exactly how they’ll survive the current oil spike and return to massive profitability by the summer

Wow you warren buffet but u will pay more in spread

The TR-1 issued on March 5 is a "Disposal" notification, not a buy. Indigo’s actual shareholding has dropped to 14.39% following their £125m sale. The remaining 23.5% is held in convertible notes (non-tradable instruments), which have been on the books for years. This form is simply confirming that the 10-million-share "dump" is finished and settled. Indigo is still a massive backer, but they have officially trimmed the fat. With a 90-day lock-up now in effect and Barclays buying into the vacancy, the "Selling Pressure" has officially left the building.

they still hold 37.9% of the total voting rights And they still hold 14,684,895 ordinary shares, which is about 14.2% of the company.

Barclays looked like they left the party, but they were actually just "clearing the table" to buy a bigger meal. They sold their old shares so they could buy a fresh 5.56% stake at the new, cheaper price. When a bank like Barclays buys 5% of a company during a war, they aren't guessing they are betting on a recovery.

Last week, Barclays was one of the banks helping Indigo sell those 10 million shares. Because they were "handling the deal," they weren't allowed to own a big stake at the same time—it would be a conflict of interest (like a referee betting on the game). So, they cleared their books and dropped below the 3% limit.

Once the deal was finished at 1,250p, Barclays was legally allowed to be an investor again. They liked the price so much they didn't just buy back what they had they surged to a 5.56% stake.

Also indigo can’t sell more for 90 days so we cool

Look, the market is panicking about $84 oil etc, but they’re ignoring the fact that Wizz Air is a much tougher beast than it was a few years ago. You’re right they’ve stared down $140 oil before and didn't blink. Today, they are sitting on a massive €1.98 billion cash pile, which is a serious "get out of jail free" card. While other airlines are scrambling, Wizz has already done the hard work by pivoting their fleet back to Europe and the UK. They aren't just "hoping" to survive; they are aggressively moving planes into high-demand routes like Egypt and the CEE to keep the cash flowing.

Even with the profit warning, the business is still growingand passenger numbers are up over 12%, and they are flying the most fuel-efficient fleet in the sky with the A321neo. The "Arab Market" exit isn't a retreat; it's a cold, calculated move to protect that nearly €2 billion in liquidity. They’ve cut the dead weight, and once this oil spike cools off, they are positioned to be the leanest, most profitable player left standing. People are selling the "headline," but the "bottom line" is that this company has the cash and the experience to turn this panic into a massive recovery play.

Ryanair - No official warning today, but they reported a 22% profit slump in late January. Their fuel is 84% hedged at $77/bbl so if oil stays at $83, they start losing money soon.

Lufthansa - Issued two profit warnings already this winter due to strikes and high taxes. They are currently cutting 50 flights a week from their March schedule.

Easy jet - They maintained their 2026 outlook on Jan 29, but that was before Oil hit $83. Investors are waiting for them to "break" next.

Wizzair still better off with lot cash and not immediate debts. They akso out of the region

before. lucky im out here. reality is ukraina is most **** people and coruption ever. im easter europe and i know. i do supppport tjem. only reason they tmstill fighting because they are savages. skava ukraine but never invest in this country. rotten

Wizz Air: The "Bull Case" in a Nutshell

• The "Earnings Smash": They reported a Q3 loss of -€0.58 per share, which sounds bad until you realize the market was braced for -€0.81. They beat the "doom" expectations by over 25%.

• Revenue Growth: Despite grounding dozens of planes for engine issues, revenue still climbed 10.2% to €1.3 billion. People are still flying Wizz, and they are paying more to do it.

• The "US Rocket": The RNS confirms they have officially requested an "Expedited Review" from the US Department of Transportation. This is the big catalyst—if they get this, they open up a massive new market to offset their European headaches.

• Cash is King: They are sitting on nearly €2 billion in cash. This proves they have the "staying power" to survive the engine groundings and pay off their debts.

• Market Share: They now own 26% of the Central and Eastern European market, strengthening their "moat" against Ryanair.

Why it’s worth buying NOW (08:00 AM Open):

1. The "Relief" Rally: The stock has been beaten down for months on fears of a total collapse. This RNS proves the collapse isn't happening.

2. Valuation Gap: Before this RNS, Wizz was trading at a massive discount compared to EasyJet and Ryanair. This "beat" will force big banks to re-rate the stock higher.

3. The 1,449p Target: Top analysts already had a target of 1,449p before these good numbers. With this beat, we could see those targets move toward 1,600p.

Verdict: If the stock "gaps up" at 8:00 AM, don't be afraid. The numbers are solid enough to support a sustained rally, not just a one-day spike.

1. Corrupt market

2. When a stock drops 15% in a day, professional algorithmic traders often "buy to cover" the next morning to bank their wins. This massive wave of "buying to exit" pushes the price up, forcing other shorts to panic and close their positions, which pushes the price up even more

Haga how i love stock market quinetiq group Released a trading update yesterday. They confirmed they are on track for 15-20% EPS growth and have an order backlog of £5bn and share doen. Ferrexxpo shut dien production in a war torn country and goes up. Cant make this up

Not concerned? Sorry but are you mad? Since the full-scale invasion in 2022, Ferrexpo has had several "partial" shutdowns, but never complete suspension as far as im aware. The news today that they have suspended operations and furloughed staff suggests this isn't just a "blip" it's an admission that they can't see a steady power supply coming back in the short term. For a miner this is devastating. How are you not concerned.

Usualy i dont use ai but i ve opened around 13 positions today and busy and i asked gemini to update me on asos rns. Useless

My bad sorry

Asos surges as largest shareholder Anders Holch Povlsen ups stake - Sharecast.com

Yes, it was officially confirmed last week. Anders Holch Povlsen upped his stake to just over 28% (from 27.1%). 

The reason it's hard to find a single headline today is that it happened alongside a flurry of other ASOS news. Here is the exact timeline of what went down:

The "Takeover" Timeline

• Wednesday Night (Late): Regulatory filings showed Povlsen (via his company Aktieselskabet af 5.5.2010) moved his stake to 28.01%. 

• Thursday Morning: The market reacted instantly. ASOS shares surged over 10% as traders realized he is now only 2% away from the 30% "Mandatory Bid" threshold.

• Friday: Mike Ashley (Frasers Group) responded immediately by increasing his own stake to 25.13%.

This isn't just a one-off buy. Camelot/William Barker have been buying almost every single week in January.

• They bought on Jan 2, Jan 5, and now this latest batch.

• By buying at 300p, the Deputy Chair is sending a signal that he believes the stock is worth significantly more than the current market price of ~287p.

3. The "Battleground" for ASOS

You aren't just riding with Camelot; you have two "Whales" fighting over this stock:

1. Camelot (15.5%): Buying for long-term recovery.

2. Anders Holch Povlsen (28%+): The Danish billionaire who just increased his stake last week. He is sitting right at the 30% limit. If he buys more, he has to make a mandatory takeover bid for the whole company.

In the short term, it is arguably neutral-to-negative because it confirms that the "Kroger dream" of 20+ massive warehouses is shrinking.

In the long term, it is potentially good news if and only if Ocado can prove their technology is actually "market-leading" by signing a major competitor (like a Tier-1 retailer in the US or Europe) within the next 12 months. If they fail to sign a new big name by mid-2026, the market will likely view the end of exclusivity as a sign of waning demand for their tech.
