nice yield though :-)

Indeed QP. Like I said before if ryanair are struggling....

[quepassa] 18/10/2016 07:17

OH NO!

That's really bad news for the sector.

Profits warning/reduction in earnings guidance from RyanAir this morning due to sterling weakness.

Massive reduction in earnings guidance which is slashed from 12% expected growth to 7% expected growth.

That's getting on for slashing previous forecast earnings by more than 40%.

But very worrying is the fact that RyanAir heavily caveats the lowered guidance by saying:

"We would caution that this revised guidance remains heavily dependent upon no further weakness in H2 fares (-13% to -15%) or Sterling from its current levels (EUR1 = GBP0.9050)."

So it might not stop there.

Clearly , there is every prospect in my opinion that there will indeed be further and ongoing weakness in pricing over the winter flying period in view of the massive discounting and Price War between so many competing airlines just as a great deal of extra capacity has been unleashed onto the market.

Looks like those broker Price targets of 825p, 820p and 800p are getting more and more likely in my view.

And people continue to say that everything is ok in the sector..........

Strap in for a bumpy landing.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

With the greatest respect Mr Pipkin I believe that they have significantly more experience at this sort of thing than you do.

So 1300p the target is. Time to go long it would appear.

All IMVHO//////// Andy Pipkin is the font of all knowledge,a legend.............in his own mind! LOL

IMO :-)
I pay more attention to these BB posts than brokers opinions.
From BB posts, I can gain verifiable facts, and ask myself questions and make my own calls.
Brokers opinions do not have any credibility for me..and they are opinions, so just smoke.
Brokers target prices never quote a corresponding date, so have no meaning even if you did value their opinion.
So when DYOR, I research facts / market trends /economics etc, I do not research broker opinion.

Morning all & QP :)

Cantor respected?

You mean the ex inter dealer broker that is not really an investment bank who few listen to?

[andy pipkin] 17/10/2016 10:20

tslob

I hope you havnt forgotten the brokers that downgraded here, or do they not count now?

Another bounce sold into, today.

[tlobs2] 17/10/2016 09:28

Nice to see several well respected brokers putting our target prices significantly higher than the current one.

And lest we forget there are over twenty four million shares required to cover the current short positions. I think the first of those positions reducing or closing will give this a huge spike. And that is shares not pounds ;-)

The clueless muppet award goes to Andy Pipkin for this little gem,just before the share price leaped northwards! /////Andy Pipkin14 Oct '16 - 22:30 - 3629 of 3634 1 0
When a share consolidates, it usually carries on moving in the prevailing direction afterwards.

[andy pipkin] 17/10/2016 08:56

LOL!

Has Stelios become an idiot over the weekend?

[larva] 17/10/2016 08:52

1000p this week. will a stelios bid, if he does 1500p required

[tlobs2] 17/10/2016 08:38

Wise words .........



The dividend yield is 5%. We note that consensus forecasts for this year (2017) have fallen sharply and now suggest no growth year-on-year. If 2017 proves to be less turbulent there could be good upside to consensus. We view the current price as an attractive entry level point and reiterate buy, with a target price of 1,300p.

EasyJet pumps cash into tech start-ups

Budget airline easyJet is investing in tech companies via Founders Factory
ALAMY
EasyJet has pumped a “multimillion-pound” sum into a start-up accelerator that it hopes will breed the next big thing in the so-called travel-tech industry.

The low-cost airline has backed Founders Factory, a London investment vehicle that will use cash from large companies to invest in 200 technology start-ups across six sectors within the next five years. Other big names that have signed up include Aviva and L’Oréal.

Founders Factory is the brainchild of lastminute.com co-founder Brent Hoberman. It invests about £30,000 in each company from which it takes a 7% stake and during a six-month period links fledgling firms directly…

Makes sense. In addition Gatwick being a prime base extremely important as less competition . If some of the rumors are true that the goverment are going to approval both Gatwick and Heathrow re runway expansion even better. Even with one runway Gateick is seeing greater long haul routes , thus becoming a connecting airport. Brilliant for Easyjet. QP was harping on re Stansted before and Easyjets share of traffic. Jet2 arriving there etc. brilliant in my view. All it will do is hammer Ryanair etc. a very competitive airport and best to swim in another . As an example I need to travel to Faro at the end of January next year for a meeting . Stansted Ryanair flight is 16.99.take off the airport duty, my seat 3.99 In Portugal at the moment JET2 articles in paper we fly from Standsted in 2017. Gatwick is Easyjets and in effect apart from a couple of airlines has the North terminal as its own. I know I would be happy having Gatwick ( very full) that being in airports than can open up to all and take your market share. QP has had a good run over recent months but a strong balance sheet, being in the right place will pay off

Going sideways here - will there be a bounce?

[12bn] 14/10/2016 13:23

Fat Andy is not very good at shorting tlobs2,ask him about his first short,LMC (lastminute.com) it received a bid the very next day that he shorted and the share price leaped 40%,he lost a fortune. Ask him about it tlobs2,it will annoy him! LOL
