John. Same as last years HY numbers. No div but they'll announce one in a few months.I'm not sure why its like that or why they cant announce now though...

What's this "The Directors propose that no dividend be paid for the six months to June 30, 2018 (June 30, 2017: nil)"? They did pay a dividend last autumn and it's even recorded on their website.

Chief...veuling has always been a poor performer if you look at historical data.
Not sure that it is paying it's way to be honest.

As for 10% divi increase....I would consider that to be poor. At least 15% historically but would anticipate much more.
Walsh needs to come up with something.
Shares down on the news.

If you ask me , the people who sold at 726 , new this was coming.

Lol old willie wants these buybacks shares as cheap as possible.

[chiefbrody] 03/8/2018 08:03

Yup numbers still going the right way.If the share price tanks, its short term manipulation so buy and tuck away.

IAG boss Willie Walsh has been talking to the Today programme.In July, Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar made some controversial comments about what would happen to UK planes should a no-deal Brexit occur and the UK left the Single European Sky.Mr Walsh said he was not taking seriously talk of British-based airlines being unable to fly over Republic of Ireland airspace post-Brexit."The idea... is not going to happen," he said.Meanwhile, the aviation world is waiting to see if IAG will go ahead and make an attempt to buy airline Norwegian."We have been impressed by the performance of Norwegian," he said. "There is a demand for the product they offer – low haul, low-cost is underserved. Norwegian as part of IAG could be transformed."But he added: "We are not having active discussions with them at the moment."In September, Norwegian launched the world's longest no-frills long-haul flight - a 13-hour-long direct flight from London Gatwick to Singapore.

Editdar important for me was up.

[chiefbrody] 03/8/2018 07:55

They could pay more debt off but since debt is so cheap..Further buybacks id expect. 10%+ div increase (in a few months).Almost all 4 airlines making a profit (only the French stopped that).The answers probably in there somewhere but id like to see some basic numbers re buybacks, shares cancelled, effect on EPS etc.

[montyhedge] 03/8/2018 07:49

Yes superb, I thought figures were good, ok French strikes did not help.Buybacks will continue at a pace now with 8.1 billion cash on interest rate bearing deposits.

[m1k3y1] 03/8/2018 07:46

8B in cash !! might look tempting for someone if he keeps building cash reserves in this way !

[nedhammers1] 03/8/2018 07:40

Just have to wait and see lol.... I'm not confident though lol

[montyhedge] 03/8/2018 07:38

Not sure, beat my forecasts I had operating profits 985m came in 1.1b.Cash up over 8b. Ebitdar up.All depends what analysts had pencilled in.

[nedhammers1] 03/8/2018 07:34

Monty, how do you think the market will react?

[montyhedge] 03/8/2018 07:30

Ebitdar is what I look at is up, cash on deposit up, debt down, with cash now of 8,1 billion euros, buybacks will continue for quite some time, I would imagine.I suppose it's how analyst look at figures.

[nedhammers1] 03/8/2018 07:27

Neil what did you think of the results? I read somewhere it's 2.9% shirt of market expectations? More importantly what will these results do to the SP?

[neilrich] 03/8/2018 07:15

17.4% increase in operating profit for a company where the P/E is less than 7.

Speaks volumes.

[nedhammers1] 03/8/2018 06:15

He not be!

[nedhammers1] 03/8/2018 05:26

Will he or Willie or won't be is the question today. I hope he does, come on Willie boy blast the industry and markets out the water today ......Monty wants to make another shed load :-)

[chiefbrody] 02/8/2018 17:55

Every little helps.

[neilrich] 02/8/2018 17:48
