easyJet upgraded by Jefferies

25th November 2013, 14:04

Analysts at Jefferies are becoming increasingly confident that easyJet [LON:EZJ] will return to a period of share price outperformance, following a summer pause, according to their airlines industry research note, issued today.

The broker stated that it has become more relaxed over the company’s ability to maintain a strong competitive position, through ongoing self-help initiatives, and believes it is also in a better position to return cash to shareholders.

As a result, Jefferies has upgraded its recommendation on the stock to ‘buy’ from ‘hold’.

The broker has also increased its price target to 1,620 pence per share from 1,470 pence.

In the same note, analysts have retained their ‘buy’ recommendation on International Consolidated Airlines Group [LON:IAG], albeit, conceding that the shares may pause for breath until further news is forthcoming regarding the Iberia restructuring.

IAG’s price target has been increased to 410 pence per share (previously 355 pence) to reflect the “encouraging progress” made to date.

At 2:01pm:

easyJet share price was up 22.5 pence at 1,427.5 pence.

International Consolidated Airlines Group share price was up 11.45 pence at 374.25 pence.

I wish - that should read IAG up 1.45 @374.25p

EasyJet goes after Chinese travelers

Dec 03, 2013
LONDON, England - EasyJet will hope to cash in on the growth of Chinese outbound travel with a new dedicated Chinese homepage.

The low-cost carrier has launched a website with simplified Chinese information about the airline and an ‘Inspire Me’ tool where they can find destination information.

Bookings will be connected through a Chinese version of Booking.com.

In addition the airline has signed up onto VisitBritain’s Welcome Charter, with its efforts amidst a rise in Chinese taking easyJet flights.

“This year easyJet has seen a 25% increase in bookings from China versus 2012. Along with the other BRIC economies, the demand from Chinese customers is predicted to continue to grow over the coming years which means that, with a dedicated homepage, easyJet is ideally positioned to capture more of the market of the millions of Chinese who are travelling to and within Europe every year,” said easyJet’s chief executive Carolyn McCall.

“I am delighted to also announce that easyJet is signing up to VisitBritain’s China Welcome Charter, the aim of which is for businesses in the UK to ensure that by 2015 the UK is the most welcoming destination in Europe,” she added.

Its announcement comes as Prime Minister David Cameron embarks on a trade visit to China with 130 business delegates.

Speaking about the China Welcome Charter, Cameron said: “This government’s priority is to secure the economic recovery and we are determined to all we can to help British companies to succeed. I am firmly committed to playing my part which is why I have taken more than 130 business delegates to China. My aim is to open the door for them in this fast-growing market, creating opportunities for them to expand their business.”

EasyJet hits record after Goldman rethink

By Bryce Elder

In the three years since Goldman Sachs removed EasyJet from its “buy” list, the stock has gained 213 per cent. Yesterday, after a change of lead analyst, it was added back.

Goldman forecast EasyJet to return £1.5bn to shareholders between 2016 and 2018.
High quality global journalism requires investment.

While fare growth was likely to stall, network expansion and cost savings could still deliver annual earnings growth of around 11 per cent, the broker argued.

“We believe EasyJet will continue to capitalise on significant growth opportunities in the European short-haul market as legacy carriers further restructure their inefficient cost bases,” said analyst Alexia Dogani, who was poached by Goldman in July from Liberum Capital.

“Any potential Alitalia network restructuring would also offer a growth opportunity as EasyJet has the largest overlap on its short-haul network.”

Goldman had a £19.60 target on EasyJet

Going well today .

Yep lovely.
