Posted at 21/9/2024 07:01 by cumnor Needs to be a divi here-and not just a token 1% BS-partially accounts for a lack of interest in many UK midcaps. Investors need more than hope for holding UK equities, esp with a Labour government handing out freebies to unions. |
Posted at 17/9/2024 19:44 by foreverbull Hot from the press ...Questor says buy at this levelQuestor: this airline lost 66pc since our first tip but it's ready for take-offRobert Stephens17 September 2024 8:00pmDescribing a departing chief executive as a lame duck is somewhat unfair. After all, they are still likely to have a significant impact on the firm's financial performance between the time they announce their resignation and the date of their departure.In reality though, investors know that the incoming chief executive will almost inevitably make changes to the company's strategy. Therefore, they typically adopt a "wait and see" approach so they can deduce how a new incumbent intends to deliver future profit growth. This can mean that a firm in the process of implementing senior management changes fails to deliver significant index-beating performance in the short run.With easyJet's current chief financial officer set to become its chief executive early next year, Questor would not be surprised if its share price performance is somewhat uninspiring in the near term. This is despite the company facing an improved operating outlook that should catalyse its financial performance.Indeed, the firm's latest quarterly trading update showed it was making encouraging overall progress. Revenue increased by 11pc and profits rose by 16pc in the third quarter as passenger demand continued to grow. Passenger numbers were up 8pc versus the same period of the prior year, with the company's load factor rising by 0.4 percentage points to 90pc and capacity up 7pc year-on-year. Demand for the company's services should continue to rise. Investors may become increasingly concerned about a cost-of-living crisis, since inflation is due to creep up to just under 3pc by the end of the year but pressure on discretionary incomes has all but dissipated. When combined with the positive impact on consumer spending from an expected sustained fall in interest rates, which are due to decline by around 120 basis points over the next two years, the outlook for the airline industry is becoming increasingly upbeat.According to the International Air Transport Association, passenger numbers in Europe will rise at an annualised rate in excess of 5pc during 2025 and 2026. easyJet is becoming increasingly well placed to capitalise on an improving market outlook, with the firm expecting to grow its capacity to 100 million seats in the current financial year. If met, this would represent an 8pc year-on-year rise.The company's strategy of expanding its package holidays division is also set to boost its financial performance. easyJet holidays is expected to generate pre-tax profits in excess of £180m in the current financial year, which would equate to a 48pc increase on last year's figure. The segment's strong growth rate is expected to contribute to a 23pc annualised increase in the firm's earnings per share in the two financial years to 2025. This puts the company's shares on a forward price-to-earnings ratio, using financial year 2025's profit forecast, of just 7.6. This suggests that the stock offers a wide margin of safety, with investors apparently not yet having priced in a vastly improved financial performance over the coming years.Growth in the easyJet holidays segment also reduces overall risk, since package holidays are relatively resilient due to their perceived value-for-money offering. The company's risk/reward opportunity has also improved as its financial position has strengthened. For example, its net cash position rose from £146m in March to £456m in June. This shows that the firm is capable of not only overcoming future periods of economic instability, but can also reinvest for long-term growth.Of course, easyJet's share price performance has proved to be a huge disappointment since Questor first tipped the company in July 2017. It has produced a 64pc capital loss since then and has underperformed the FTSE 100 index by 75 percentage points. While we do not expect a dramatic turnaround in the firm's share price performance in the short run, this column nevertheless remains upbeat about the company's long-term recovery potential. It is becoming increasingly well placed to take advantage of an improving operating environment, while its rapid expansion into adjacent product areas provides scope for additional growth. With a solid financial position that has significantly improved over recent months and a wide margin of safety included in its market valuation, the stock remains a worthwhile purchase despite its downbeat past investment performance.

Posted at 29/8/2024 09:14 by sapphireblue1 Mano I am not hugely bothered if they stay in the 100 or not. It's quite apparent that the whole market lacks investors and easyJet need to find a more affluent environment.I don't see any difference between the 100 and 250. Certainly since promotion we have seen lower volume. |
Posted at 22/8/2024 12:23 by sapphireblue1 That's nonsense. Share buybacks support the share price. Not all investors support dividends as largely the value of the dividend just comes off the share price.Lifting excess shares off the market allows for a share price rise. The management and the brokers think that the share price is ridiculous and they may choose to buy some back. I don't think that it will be much £50-100m |
Posted at 19/8/2024 07:28 by davius > As for private investors, they are trading US stocks as it’s much easier these days> (plus no stamp duty), I held nvidia for 4 days and made 16.5% profit, I held Apple > for 6 weeks and made 20% Jeez there's some tripe posted on these boards. You can't equate being massively volatile with it being easy to make money. You could have just as soon lost those percentages. Those buying Nvidia at $140 when everyone said it was going to $200 are looking like fools now. Basically, people jumping in and out of these volatile US stocks are gamblers, nothing more, nothing less. Fine, if that floats your boat. Personally I buy shares for longer periods, weeks, months years. My gambling days ended with the financial crash. Yes, I hold EZJ, at around the current level. |
Posted at 02/8/2024 07:17 by sapphireblue1 More like the market isn't ready yet. We are in an instant mentality and investors are hard to find. Gamblers and carpetbaggers are numerous.I am an investor and here for the long term. £5.50 for the commercial position and opportunity is way too cheap but the price is gripped in a spiral at the moment driven by external factors mostly of no consequence to the business. The market is calling easyJet liars so we wait for the results for confirmation. |
Posted at 14/6/2024 08:22 by sapphireblue1 The issue with investors is that there really aren't any. London is awash with gamblers and algorithm users.Investors don't buy and sell multiple times in one day. These forces exaggerate movement and others see opportunities from the unnatural forces. |
Posted at 14/6/2024 08:04 by foreverbull I beg to differ Deramping. Generally share prices act like a crystal ball (not a perfect one though!). They reflect what investors expect a company's future earnings to be. This includes upcoming events like results. So, if a company is expected to crush its results, the stock price might rise beforehand as investors rush to buy in. It's a balancing act: current price considers both the company's track record and whispers of what's to come. |
Posted at 17/5/2024 08:15 by kktj I agree - it's getting very tedious every time Sapph has an opinion you jump on it. Can you stop harping on the same thing - if you don't have anything constructive to say... everyone knows what you think of Sapph.Why not just filter - you are not saving investors any money if that is your thinking. Investors can make their own mind in who or what to believe - people must be pretty stupid if they believe anyone on bulletin boards and invest based on their opinions. The boards are just for opinions and obviously many do give good researched opinions - but believe them at your own risk.... I have added more today. |
Posted at 08/5/2024 16:50 by sapphireblue1 However talking about why something may happen is valid on a discussion board. Back up with some sort of evidence or "expert" opinion ideally.It's also valid to talk about what you have experienced first hand. Personally I think that this share price is ridiculous. £6 would still be very cheap in my opinion. Plenty of brokers agree with that, the company are flagging a very strong performance this year and Southern Europe is in a boom currently. I see no reason why it won't move swiftly through £6 but the UK investors have no appetite for holding anything beyond a micro profit. It's the reality of the state of the UK. I know that it's very different looking at this as a successful woman with a disposable income and no stress living in the Mediterranean but I still believe that not all the UK investors are losers. |
