Analyst Comments

Solid trading updates from budget carriers EZJ, RYA & WIZZ bode well for the sector, helped by UK tourists making the most of a stronger GBP (notably versus EUR) seeing recent austerity-driven preference for stay-cations revert to traditional demand for foreign holidays. Disarray among national flag-carrier also helping. Recent update allowed EZJ to raise full-year profit outlook after a blockbuster summer.

Today Cantor Fitzgerald upped its target price to 2000p from 1900p citing strong summer demand, a high proportion of plane seats and fairly muted capacity build in European market and demand for winter sun getaways is likely to be strong. Bloomberg consensus show brokers 90% of brokers positive/neutral and 91% of target prices above current share price. Consensus target 1940p implies 11% upside from current levels and suggests fresh all-time highs.
