What are our thoughts on the share buy back programme .. 67m held in treasury now ?

Yes the Pension closure has been muted for along time ,of course long term this will benefit the shareholders, BA could do without more industrial action, so a good deal for employees would be prudent imo. ccr.

Can only be a positive longer term - appears that some employees are currently getting circa upto 45% of their annual wage equivalent paid by the company into their individual pension pots which is fantastic for them but surely unsustainable longer term - as for the unions they know behind the scenes that they cannot stop this closure - their job now will be to get the best terms for the new DC pension version - ie how much can they negotiate percentage wise annually - either way it wont be 45% ! or anything like that otherwise it would not have been proposed by the company to close - all said good for shareholders (BA employees also will "lock in" their current DB pension contributions so an employee who has say 25 years in will keep that element - so not all as bad as it seems - they have had a good run so to speak

The way it's going...


Ryanair reduces hand luggage allowance to ONE small bag in a bid to cut flight delays

The Dublin carrier says delays are caused by a lack of space in overhead lockers

From November 1 patrons can only carry a 35cm x 20cm x 20cm bag on board
Priority customers, who pay £5 to £6 more, can take two bags as per normal

British Airways, the sister airline of Aer Lingus, has announced it will be cramming more passengers onto its long-haul planes.

The British carrier is “densifying” its fleet of Boeing 777s, which serve routes to North America, adding an extra seat to each row in economy class. This will allow it to squeeze an additional 52 passengers onto its planes.

P/E of around 7 ish would suggest it's pretty cheap to me. Whilst airlines don't deserve a strong rating (too many constant uncertainties), i'd have thought a P/E of 10 would be fair.There's scope for large div increases too.£8 by Spring 2018 with a following breeze.

I am guessing 600 is reasonable value --- certainly not cheap. I tend to go short after 610p as there is sufficient volatility to make money both using short and long positions. I would normally add to long positions below 585p. Worst case, I think there is good support around 540-560p level and similarly the share price struggles to go higher than 620-640 range.

[chiefbrody] 04/8/2017 16:06

Undervalued, that's why.

jailbird, odd thing is every time it crashes the share price rises

[jailbird] 03/8/2017 22:15

It is a serious problem . I am surprised they have not resolved the repeat issues

[painter] 02/8/2017 13:30

If BA were not in buy back mode it would be a strong short today.I'm not a shorter but bad management should always be punished. Hope to dip in again soon!

Whatever the case with IAG, this computer system is a liability. How many failures before it starts to seriously impact passenger numbers and then fundamentals?

Can't argue with any of your comments jailbird. Short has just gone into profit, only looking for tonight's beer money.

BA's check in problems occur periodically Ever since the introduced this new systems it has been flaky They just live with as long as it dies not cause cancellations of course .Delays are part and parcel of flying now .Unfortunately BAs standards have fallen because of outsourcing and pay disputes ; workforce moral is at an all time low. No pride left working for BA anymore. Lifelong careers are gone .

[painter] 02/8/2017 09:11

BA have check in problems again at Heathrow this a.m. As an ABBA traveler I've taken small short.

[dac123] 31/7/2017 11:14

Up 5% at the off?

[chiefbrody] 28/7/2017 07:36

Probably explains why the shares were taken down recently.

[bigboots] 28/7/2017 07:09

Stunning set of figures, where did they pull this out of

[broadwood] 28/7/2017 07:03

At current fuel prices and exchange rates, IAG expects its operating profit for 2017 to show a double-digit percentage improvement year-on-year. The Group expects second half passenger unit revenue (passenger revenue per ASK) to show an increase versus last year, at constant currency.
