this will fly today, imo....excellent results and strong outlook:- 0) - rns out...

[reynard46] 02/4/2007 11:11

Anyone know the reason for the spike?

Well predictably the share price has jumped today - how boring! And rising right to the end. But with a long term chart like this has, even a day like this doesn't matter in the long run.

[reynard46] 01/2/2007 10:13

Agree, deadly; although note the guidance that recent peak trading (no doubt due to air travel fears last year) has slowed down. Happy to continue to hold this quality stock, though.

You could hardly get a better trading statement. The lack of interest on stocks like this compared to all the rubbish on this board is astounding.

[reynard46] 16/10/2006 10:26

The market disagrees with you, Qantas. Time will tell.

[superstardj] 13/10/2006 21:50

Return on equity of 26% and a Fort Knox balance sheet. Wonderfully under-researched, under-appreciated, and cash generative making another special dividend a near cert for 2007. Just my sort of company.

Anyone doubting the market potential should look at what Buffett's NetJets Europe are investing in new executive jet aircraft at the moment.

AP is one of the few silver linings we investors have to the awful prospect of airborne terrorism. Truly in the right place at the right time IMHO.

Reynard these results are not so Cracking as you would say they are only 3.6% over gross turnover and they have spent it all on gold air.
Sold out today took the profit.

[reynard46] 11/10/2006 17:24

Cracking results and immediately earnings-enhancing acquisition, pvb. I am happy to hold for the medium to long term.

And you also have the advantage of a quiet thread... It's got to be a winner!

[camb] 14/8/2006 15:58

Private company air travel for executives and teams of their people is likely to be more attractive and importanat to organisations after the recent 'critical' security alert for aviation incidents and associated delays at UK airports. AIP should benefit (again).

[maximoney1] 07/2/2006 22:51

About to break out on its next leg???

[pvb] 23/12/2005 18:57

Wasn't it by 30p? But I've certainly no idea why.

It's marked as 'Strong Buy' on Digital Look, but that's only by one _broker. Perhaps Seymour Price, who had it as a Buy on 14 October?

[ved] 23/12/2005 12:00

Gone up suddenly by 40pence today. Does any one know of the reason?

[pvb] 11/10/2005 17:29

Somebody take me forwards a decade. I can see that every new car will have Microsoft software controlling the temperature, music and navigation. I can also see some of the national carriers balooning by buying up the competition but where will AIP be ??
