Alessandro, even cheaper today mcap just £6.8 bn. Unbelieveable - to me!

Lets hope MSI are a sign that your judgement can be good.

The key question is, has the company genuining chased good opportunities that have not turned out as expected or has it chosen projects just to keep the management in work , hoping that something might turn up?

Absoultely no. The value of a worldwide brand is huge in the eyes of the likes of nike who want their partners to be just that and investors [ they say].

All I can think is that the oil price and interest rate rises are scaring the ii's and most companies , except thos in oil and gas are being hammered.Overdone imv.

Lots of other quality shares down today, e.g JD Sports so ezj is not alone in being pushed down. If I was looking for an excuse , I would say risk of escalation in middle east and oil prices but imv both of those have mitigations . The other factor is of course threat of further interest rate rises and Andrew Bailey's comments in Marrakesh today have not helped. Pity that earthquake came early.

I think the non exec share purchase is good news, and what he officially knows is probably less trhan he really knows. Given he does not seem to reside in UK , does he really care about insider knowledge and regulations?

I feel reassured reading the proactive piece because it tells me that the only real worry they point to is less growth in demand. I take a different view so will buy more if weakness persists.

RNS today says we are doing something in 4 weeks time but what it really says is, the sp decline is really worrying and we are desperate so we thought we should release some positive news and tbf if that is all they have , i would be worried if I was invested here.

HL view.easyJet's post-pandemic recovery can be labelled mission complete. Profit engines are firing and bookings keep on coming.

That's given the group the confidence to re-enter the world of dividend payments. The payout ratio is much lower than pre-pandemic levels, but this could pave the way for shareholder returns to grow over time. Remember no share holders returned are guaranteed and yields are variable and not a reliable indicator of future income.

It's not just that travel is back on the agenda for easyJet's customers. That's a rising tide that lifts all ships. There are some easyJet specific elements to the success story. The group is particularly successful at selling extras to existing passengers. So-called ancillary revenues are things like extra baggage, legroom and food. This is a growing, and highly lucrative area, and the growth has been impressive.

easyJet's ability to sell these add-ons and encourage strong demand stems from its route strategy. It focuses on profitable Western European routes within major airports. It's also invested heavily in bolstering its presence at these major airports and improving its routes. It's an approach that sets easyJet apart from other low-cost carriers - who trim costs by flying in and out of smaller, less convenient airports. Plans to buy close to another 160 aircraft in the coming decade is also a way the group's trying to future proof its best-in-class route strategy. This more aggressive approach also increases risk if demand was to take a sharp knock backwards too, we'd also like more information on how it's being funded. But overall we're supportive of the move to put the order in now,

It's also worth considering that the cost-of-living crisis is still very much alive and kicking. While easyJet doesn't seem to be suffering from this at present, if the economic backdrop is worse than expected this year, then we could see a reduction in the number of bookings.

Wider industry strikes have the potential to cause havoc across the system too. The broader implications of sweeping cancellations or changes could dent profit momentum in a big way if issues in this arena rear their head again.

The final thing to consider is escalating geopolitical tension. This hasn't dented investor sentiment, but as with any situation like this, that can change at short notice.

We think easyJet is well-placed within its sector, and comes with growth opportunities. There are some risks, especially in the short-term, so be prepared for ups and downs

Certainity is a good thing, the increasing price of gold a good thing and that fact that we are ever closer to rpoduction a good thing. The new owners have a whole portfolio to consider and deal with, do we have any views on their priority for sorting out 'our' future and are there dependencies that come into play?

All airlines in same position, notwithstanding their different hedging strategies, so I expect they will all raise [ and lower] fares to some degree to offset fuel cost increases. The key takeawy from today is the 5 year ambition and the growth implied - hence my further investment - this should be north of £6 imv.

Vince , it has not been declared yet . You could work it out from estimating post tax profits and dividing by number of shares and payout percentage they stated - personally I can't be bothered as I have bought for growth and on the recommendations of Nutmegmilk!

Not mine - I topped up with £2k.

Just bought another £3k - bargain imv.

Roy, company announcement in RNS.

My take on where we are is that it has all happened a little ahead of schedule and most likely the US team are still getting themselves organised and sorting out the systems they need to handle the tests at volume. Therefore the last thing they need is to be innundated and get a bad name for late delivery and poor service around test results. All of these things take time and the advertising will maybe come later once the new systems are embedded.

Could be something as simple as one of the auditors threw a sicki because his/her partner had a short.lol.

Profits to beat expectations by a huge margin should lift the sp here by 5 to 10% imv,we shall see.

Dug, to your list I would add; write up/share tip in news media and TR1 indicating institutional stake.

I can appreciate that there is a short squeeze on at the moment but in a couple of days this will be even higher imv simply because the new shareholders will not be selling and the institutions will now see a well capitalised bank and invest, driving up the sp.
