BERNSTEIN RAISES EASYJET PRICE TARGET TO 575 (480) PENCE - 'MARKET-PERFORM'

BARCLAYS RAISES EASYJET PRICE TARGET TO 730 (700) PENCE - 'OVERWEIGHT'

GOLDMAN CUTS EASYJET PRICE TARGET TO 624 (630) PENCE - 'NEUTRAL'

The easyJet (LSE: EZJ) share price history suggests investors have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the company. But after H1 results on 22 May, it doesn’t look like there’s a lot of loving going on right now.

The stock’s gained 17% in the past 12 months, so those who saw a recovery coming seem to have been on the right track. But on results day, the price fell back 2.6%.

The budget airline did report a headline loss before tax of £394m. But we should expect a loss in the winter season. And it was in line with consensus, and actually a slight improvement on last year.

It does seem like we could be in a phase when investors expect to see their companies beating forecasts. The patience the market shows when waiting for a recovery to build can sometimes wear a bit thin.

Some have posted 8 percent rise. And then there's this:

Forward booking for Q3 are now 80% sold whilst Q4 stands at 42% with management noting that there is still an important booking window for the summer to come, something that could be knocked off course by adverse economic events.

UK airline easyJet confident on summer travel demand

Thu, 22nd May 2025 07:37Thomson Reuters

LONDON, May 22 (Reuters) - British airline easyJet said on Thursday it was seeing strong demand for flights and holidays, and current summer bookings were tracking ahead of last year, giving it confidence it would meet consensus forecasts for annual profit.

For the six months to end-March, its quieter off-season, easyJet posted a pretax loss of 394 million pounds ($529 million), in line with expectations, and an improvement on last year when adjusted for the later timing of Easter this year.

For the all-important summer season, easyJet said it was seeing a "positive built" in demand for both its flights and its fast-growing holidays business, putting it on track to meet forecasts for 703 million pounds in pretax profit this year and its medium-term target of 1 billion pounds.

Its confident outlook fits with bigger competitor Ryanair, which on Monday reported strong demand, with summer bookings running 1% ahead of last year.

Europe's largest travel operator TUI had, however flagged a 1% drop in summer bookings earlier in May, warning that 2025 would be challenging and highlighting uncertainty in Germany, its biggest market.

While easyJet operates across Europe, Britain remains by far its biggest market.

EasyJet ($EZJ) on Thursday reported a wider loss for the fiscal first half, while revenue grew year over year.

Loss for the six months ended March 31 was 297 million pounds sterling, compared with 257 million pounds a year ago. Basic loss per share amounted to 0.395 pound, compared with 0.343 pound.

The British low-cost airline's group revenue was 3.53 billion pounds, compared with 3.27 billion pounds a year ago.

Looking ahead, easyJet said it is on track to achieve its medium-term target of a pretax profit of over 1 billion pounds.

Boooooring.

"OK" is not enough in today's world.

No great shakes. I see a do

Not the usual exciting news. Just we're OK. No beat - No "we're ahead" etc.

And with nothing now for several months - we're back down

Meh

Desperate for an UP but global markets jittery and I just sense a snag in the report. Should have sold on rumour, bought on fact. Expect a 7% drop.

I pray I'm wrong. Just a feeling.

We've been here before. I truly hope this is not Market Maker Manipulation again leading into results day.

Problem with airlines is after they announce, they go into a lull until the next results. Never any exciting news in between.

Not quite and this bodes well for us as well:

Ryanair on Monday reported robust demand across Europe and projected that fares would rebound to recover much of the decline that dented profits last year as consumers struggled with high interest rates.

I've been playing the markets for the past 30 years. During that time I've been on all forms of message boards. (Who remembers AOL instant messenger and chat rooms? They had chat rooms - live interactive chat for various shares etc as well).

Sometimes I made serious money following a stock tip in those chats etc.

But what has never ceased to amaze me is that till today there are those - even here - who think they can actually control share price through their messages. Examples like TUI is down - that's bad news for us or other suchlike. You know who you are.

The minnow man's remarks in the vast ocean of millions of shares doesn't create the tiniest ripple. It just makes the minnow feel significant amongst the sharks. Until he gets swallowed.

Equally ridiculous therefore are the fisherman who get riled and feel the need to react to the minnow. Just leave him be- let him swim away - and concentrate on your bigger catch.

GLA.

I can't figure out if they're buying or selling.

If the latter it explains the various dips and why the price is stuck in a range.

If the former then my theory is that they want to have enough of a voting right to take this to the Nasdaque.

AlphaValue/Baader Europe on Monday downgraded budget airline company easyJet ($EZJ) to add from buy and raised its price target to 6.56 pounds sterling from 6.51 pounds.

Just watch out for market maker manipulation. This is their dream scenario.

Anyone who bought between 4.10 and 4.20 the other day can make a nice profit today. We will have lift off. Question is what happens in 90 days?

Current CEO has price plummet on his watch. Me thinks he won't last more than a couple of years. The real question is why the recent downgrade - w brokers - one dropped price target the other dropped the price target and from buy to hold. They don't do that without looking at fundamentals.

So, what do they write in their research? Anyone?

Thanks!
