A far more interesting question @Johnbri4 is....why does it bother you?

You presumably also can't comprehend why Barclays built a 5% stake at levels higher than we are now.

Time will tell 🤑

The BOD continue to deliver on the strategy. Excellent progress after only 7 months. Well placed now for a solid rise with revenue to be reported, medical companies to be announced and incubated, and a USA listing. At a lowly £10m Mcap there's limited risk if the AI bubble pops due to the way this is being developed.

I like that notion - future buyers of the stock. Currently 6.32m shares to be bought back by the shorters when we take off. That's 27 trading days of "double buy volume" based on the current daily volume of buys.

ChatGPT analysis: If all 6.2 million shorted Wizz Air shares were bought back within 1 week, with normal daily liquidity of 250k shares, a plausible price rise is in the 30–40 % range, taking the share price to roughly:

> 🟣 1,500 – 1,600 p per share over the squeeze week

Extreme cases (thin liquidity, panic) could overshoot to 1,700–1,800 p, while heavy profit-taking could cap it nearer 1,350–1,400 p.

Caveats / Real-world adjustments

Order book depth & elasticity: if new sellers emerge quickly (e.g. funds taking profits), the impact would be lower.

Momentum chasing could magnify it beyond this estimate (e.g. squeeze rallies sometimes overshoot).

Short covering might not be smooth; if some shorts panic early, front-loaded buying can cause sharper spikes.

777 this is using basic EPS of €2.18 (= £1.87)?

£1.87 x 6 = £11.22

The diluted EPS gives a trailing PE of 7.5 currently (EPS =£1.53)

Why do you use 6 - is there a precedent?

When it touched £9.70, albeit intraday, the training PE was 5.2

I see different financial sites give different values for PE (Yahoo, Investing.com, ChatGPT).

Shorts increased to 6.11% on 10th October, reported yesterday. DE Shaw increased their position by 113k shares when the price was around £11.50 so they must have a different view!

1. EU carbon offset costs 20% lower per pax. And the 50% free allocation ends this year so the absolute gap between Wizz and rivals widens.

2. SAF mandates. 2% now rising to 70% in 2050. SAF is more expensive than Kerosene, so a bigger absolute saving vs legacy rivals. 6% in 2030 (UK 9%); 20% in 2035.

3. ESG-minded investors attracted especially when credit rating improves

4. Preferential airport incentives & slots where environment is a factor.

5. Customers increasingly choose the greener option.

Any thoughts on this welcome. It seems Wizz is well placed to have a cost advantage in this respect.

Great article, some facts I hadn't fully appreciated that further strengthens the case for investing because Wizz is well positioned in this context:

§ Aircraft backlog is 17,000

§ Deliveries are 30% below pre-pandemic peak

§ Airlines have 18% less aircraft that they optimally need

I've often thought MOL desire to destroy the competition brings him closer to the day when there's limited choice of airlines for many destinations, and so Ryanair can increase its prices. There's barriers to entry for competitors. Wouldn't this grow profits?

I mean he tried with Aer Lingus and failed. Building a stake, trashing them, ranting, losing his case for takeover.

Unfortunately for him, Wizz is here to stay.

Johnbri4 you've avoided the point made. You've deflected!

I admire MOL in many ways. A fantastic success story. But there's no doubt he's worried about competition possibly coupled with a "never enough" mentality. Irrationally lashing out against WizzAir & easyJet. Very telling.

So John....what is your response to the "bet" - about investing NOW.

IF you had to choose. Which would you choose for the next 2 to 4 years? Solely for ROI. What's the punt?

You forgot canal boats - huge investment by Act of Parliament. It revolutionised transport. Then 100 years later mostly gone - trains! Except some of us now live on them. The horse and cart may return!

But yes we could be at the beginning of a huge transformation with AI.

Positive sentiment reflected in upswing today

The "distressed seller" is either still asleep or has exhausted their stock.

########

The drop was an illusion

Buy into Fusion!

Today Blue Buyers Abound

Soon you'll see

We're back to 20 p

And soon after that ...one pound

💥

Jollifant I'm sure it'll soon be back to 20p and then beyond with the combination of expected news and the dissipation of the "distressed seller"

Https://aviationweek.com/air-transport/airports-networks/ryanair-cuts-summer-2026-capacity-across-regional-spain?utm_source=chatgpt.com

1.2m seats to be reallocated to other regions for summer 2026, including Hungary.

Depends on intent. Not straightforward at all. Essentially manipulating one position to benefit another is illegal.

Not the same as hedging.

Interesting strategy, but illegal.

AHL partners increased their short position even at this level 😯

Now 6.204m shares shorted.

Just topped up, and averaged down a little in the process.

19,500 at 13.38p

ASK down to 13.60p

This made me chuckle at first. But then I thought surely it's a wind up? Or a desperate de-ramp? Maybe not.

I think Wolly has "threatened" to sell before due to similar paranoia. Would love them to hold and ultimately become a surprised naive muti millionaire ❤️🎈

🦄🦄🦄

Share price up 725% since AI strategy announced 8 months ago. Abysmal?

Unless one bought at £9.70 post results perhaps.

Then sold at £14 or simply held out for £40 in future.

Patience 🙏
