In addition in my view it's only a matter of time Ryanair look to buy monarch to gain access to Gatwick . I hope easy take on that threat and take over monarch

Said I would not post here again but through it right to update on a experience this weekend. Decided at the last minute to attend a meeting in Portugal called for sarurday morning. My usually route is a flight to Gatwick, then either easy, monarch or BA down to Faro. Decided to use Stansted and Ryanair down and back. Well I not been through Stansted for many years and just had to use Ryanair as it was 30 pounds return to Faro . Easy and others treble + via Gatwick.

Ryan flight say 80% load factor on way back . Watched the bags being put in the hold no more than 40. Trolley service completed in 20 minutes as so few purchases.

Now Stansted Ryanair home in the U.K. airport feels like and old Eastern block airport ( a little better through security ) Huge difference in passengers no business passengers , demographics so different to Gatwick, little sign of the grey haired well heeled brits like Gatwick. Can I hear English being spoken in the lounge ?no it's an exception.



All so young , bureau to change has zloty headline rate flashing .

In my view this airport and Ryanair have so much to lose here post brexit. Gatwick will hold up with such a diverse passenger range , location , routes and services. The people currently using Stansted and the routes will come under extreme pressure. In my view the city will shortly find Ryan from Stansted is looking very bleak. There costs are cut to the bone there are no savings to be made. The Gatwick passengers still have money , on business and the grey haired well heeled pensioners will still be traveling but with Brexit the young Europeans currently travellung from this airport will be moving on .

Back in just before close, this price with the 53p dividend works out a buy in @ 920p. Not bad, not bad at all :)

Been a pretty poor week for ezj and its shareholders.

A bit of positivity required:

Bloomberg.

The pound may buy fewer dollars and euros than it did before the Brexit referendum but Britons are traveling to other countries in record numbers.
U.K. residents made 18.5 million trips abroad in the three months through November, 10 percent more than a year earlier, according to data from the Office for National Statistics published Friday. Almost 80 percent of them were to other European countries.

By contrast, the number of trips made by overseas residents to the U.K. was up just 3 percent at 9.5 million, despite an 11 percent jump in visits from North America. Foreigners spent 5.7 billion pounds ($7.1 billion) in the U.K., less than half the amount Britons spent abroad.
The figures suggest the weaker pound is proving less disruptive to international tourism than many had expected. Sterling has fallen 16 percent against the dollar and 10 percent against the euro since the June vote to leave the European Union, making it cheaper for foreigners to come to Britain and more expensive for Britons to travel abroad.

The share price is rapidly falling down the plughole when will it ever end.

[tlobs2] 27/1/2017 15:15

Its Friday lads and lasses. Will all you doom mongers log off your computers and get a life?

At these prices and with the current exchange rates make no mistake EasyJet are ripe for a takeover IMHO. They have millions of happy customers, lots of good routes, have a history of profitable operation.

Investors are rewarded by dividends and there would be potentially huge upside in the share price if either a takeover or major alliance is announced.

Disaster of a company.

[anony mous] 27/1/2017 13:06

Thanks but I was wondering what it had done on past xd days.

[quepassa] 27/1/2017 12:20

the 53.8 divi is built into the current price.

the day it goes ex-divi, the share de facto falls by 53.8p as this is stripped out of the price/value of the share.

based on today's c.973p price, the day the share goes x-d, the price of the share will fall to 920p.

you can either effectively take the divi now by selling the share or wait for the 53.8p divi and take the cash but see the share price fall by 53.8p.

whatever the normal market movements are on that day are seperate and different to the share being marked x-d.

on the ex divi date, the price moves by;

1. a reduction in share price equivalent to 53.8p
2. normal daily market movements driven by sector and specific news/appetite/events/sentiment

who can say if there will be any event on x-d day to push the share up by 53.8 to compenasate for the x-d 53.8p by which the share will fall.


all imo. dyor.

Looking back on ex div days. Has this normally dropped down similar price to div or gone up or maybe flat ?

[tlobs2] 27/1/2017 10:50

A little melodramatic there zipfab ;-)


The 53.8p dividend in three weeks time may look very attractive to some investors.

[lucas5950] 27/1/2017 09:14

Did have a feeling we would be back here again.

[zipfab] 27/1/2017 08:13

What? Down again...

Director sells are seldom a good thing, whatever flannel is said about them at the time.

[tlobs2] 26/1/2017 07:56

[opodio] 26/1/2017 07:51

[opodio] 26/1/2017 07:45

[tlobs2] 26/1/2017 07:42

Since the Brexit vote back in June 2016 there has been a lot of negative dross posted on here and elsewhere about how bad things might get for EasyJet, how bad the passenger numbers will be, falling load factors (despite significant increases in capacity !!), seat prices, bird flu, Brits cancelling holidays (laughable), fuel prices and many many more.


Yet despite all the doom and gloom, six months down the line the trend is still positive for EasyJet with their passenger numbers and share price continuing to RISE from the 2016 lows.


With the ex-dividend date just four weeks away further rises are expected.


All IMHO
