For too long we've been dragged along with Ryanair. Whatever they said affected us. And often things were said with deliberate intent. Even now they tried to whitewash the differences based on previous compatible earnings.

But the markets now see the clear winner in this. And regardless of what Ryanair says they know that "but EasyJet is different." I think investors will start looking away from there and over in our direction. Upwards and onwards.

RBC cuts easyJet price target to 550 (580) pence - 'sector perform'

----------

Barclays cuts easyJet price target to 675 (700) pence - 'overweight'

----------

UBS cuts easyJet price target to 785 (850) pence - 'buy'

----------

Bank of America cuts easyJet price target to 670 (740) pence - 'buy'

Probably best analysis I've read to date:

They thought it would wash through the change of CEO but the eagle eyes picked this up as the real reason for the drop:

Shares of EasyJet fell more than 7% Thursday after the low-cost airline posted a slightly larger than expected pre-tax loss of £350 million.

The shortfall was higher than the £340 million expected by analysts, but less than the £392 million loss reported the year earlier.

According to reports the loss was greater than expected. That's the reason.

Expect a few reiterated ratings. Mostly, "maintain buy" and probably a few "hold."

Bank of America knew what it was doing and Qube must be kicking itself for covering the short position.

Bottom line: This is the FTSE100 we're in the big league now. If the results are not spectacular then down we go.

BTW how often do they asses which shares stay in the FTSE100 because we could end up right back where we started.

They were expecting between 340 and 360 million. They hit mid range. That's not spectacular. Market makers will then shake the tree and day traders, short term holders will head for the hills.

This will remain at these ranges until the next update - so, a boring few months again. The only hold here is for a takeover play.

I hate being right. Like I said ...

Been holding since November 2022. I think it's time to say good bye.

Not really happy with that. It's a down day for markets despite DJIA, and these are not blow away results. Gig to meet "mid level" targets.

We will linger here once again till the next quarter. We'll get there eventually but don't expect an exciting day.

A real need to get into NY stock market. This FTSE is cr*p

What planet are you living on? The rapist Hamas terrorists have rejected a ceasefire, just launched a rocket attack from Rafa and Israel is going to enter all guns blazing in the next day or two.

No I was referring to asssk. But if the shoe fits ...

Love how haters ignore October 7th - kidnapping, rape, and mass murder.

Anyway back to EZJ. Bring on tomorrow

Same gibberish different hater. Peddling the same lies he reads from likeminded haters.

Anyway you're new here so toddle on orb just stick to EZJ conversation.

Stille - no hard feelings. And yes I think tomorrow will be solid albeit with the usual cautionary remarks about geo political situations. Today reflects that and subject to calm in the ME we should rise though I think we'll stagnate in mid range until this is truly over.

Airlines - you gotta love them.

stille my hysterical lad - the us cannot afford - i repeat- cannot afford to stop being friends with israel. as the only democracy in the middle east that has a *** pride parade, that doesn't oppress women, that has arabs in the knesset and so many in all forms of industry, the us needs a democratic country in that region. coupled with medical and technological advances (at least one device you own has something israeli made in it - do your research) they cannot afford (and frankly neither can you) to defriend israel.

Xhita you seem new here. You also seem profoundly ignorant, laid bare by your final statement, falsely implying apartheid. At the same time you claim not to be taking sides, laying bare your dishonesty.

Let's keep it to the intended purpose of EZJ share chat. All other political opinions whether ignorant or otherwise can be expressed elsewhere.

Britain's mid-cap FTSE 250 index slipped 0.3%, with airline operator Wizz Air tumbling 8.2% on concerns about higher fuel costs because of tensions in the middle East.

Other airline stocks including EasyJet and British-Airways owner IAG fell 4.3% and 3.8%, respectively.

In London, shares in airlines slumped amid rising global tensions. British Airways parent International Consolidated Airlines Group gave back 3.7%, budget carrier easyJet fell 3.6%.

Israel was on alert Thursday after its arch foe Iran threatened reprisals over a strike in Syria this month that killed two Iranian generals, and as the war against Hamas ground on in Gaza.

Days after Israel strengthened its air defences and paused leave for combat units, the US also warned of the risk of an attack by Iran or its allied groups at a time Middle East tensions have soared.

Iran is "threatening to launch a significant attack on Israel," US President Joe Biden said Wednesday, pledging "ironclad" support for its top regional ally despite diplomatic tensions over Israel's military conduct in Gaza.

Growing frustration with Mr Netanyahu.

US officials have been attempting to send a message to the Iranians that, despite differences of opinion between Mr Biden and Mr Netanyahu, any attack on Israel will met with an aggressive US response.

In an effort to ease tensions, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Iraq spoke to their Iranian counterpart this week, according to Axios.

The ministers were asked to convey a message from Mr Biden's senior Middle East advisor, Brett McGurk, about the need to de-escalate.

In case you wonder why sometimes shares rise and sometimes they don't, even on the back of an upgrade - the markets also look at the analyst in question. For example this UBS upgrade is from Jarrod Castle of UBS. Here's his stats:

Average Return: +2.1% per rating

Success rate: 54% (122 out of 227)

UBS raises easyJet price target to 850 (820) pence - 'buy'

All airlines upgraded

Probably Al Jazeera. Keep your political views off this platform and stick to EZJ.
