Contributing to FTSE 100's rise were shares of EasyJet PLC (EJTTF.NaE) up 2.1% after the company said the number of passengers it carried in March rose 4.8% to 5.1 million from the same month a year ago. Load factor, or the percentage of seats filled with passengers, rose to 91.5% from 90.5% a year earlier.
EasyJet's (EJTTF.NaE) March traffic suggests momentum, said Credit Suisse analyst Neil Glynn in a note Friday. With volumes for carrier Ryanair Holdings PLC down due to the timing of the Easter holiday, 'we consider this a strong performance on a tough comparative,' Glynn wrote.

sticky - go to ftse thread for a minute and read about latest usa employment numbers

Saw them ages ago on twitter.

They get them first before anyone.

Always leaked up thier about 15 mins before they come out.

If I traded indicies these days Id have one hell of an advantage.

Stupid isnt it, figs that miss are better news than figs that beat due to tapering.

Always leaked up thier about 15 mins before they come out ....... pretty doubtful assertion, even if that someone's sleeping with Yellen

Hey no kidding. Dont forget you get the big yank trusts and brokers on their. They seem to be a lot more relaxed than our market.

Credit Suisse upbeat on easyJet after March traffic growth
04 April 2014 12:34

Credit Suisse has retained its 'outperform' recommendation on budget airline easyJet, saying that the company's March traffic statistics on Friday show good momentum and a creditable performance.

The company said the number of passengers in March rose by 4.8% to 5,107,676 compared to a year earlier. The load factor, the number of passengers to the number of seats available, increased to 91.5% from 90.5% in the same month of 2013.

The broker forecasts a £56m pre-tax loss for easyJet's first half, towards the lower end of guidance for a loss of £55-65m, "with March traffic seemingly supportive".

For the full year ending September 2014, the bank is looking for a pre-tax profit of £576m, up from £478m the previous year, with results helped by the timing of Easter which will be in the third quarter.

Credit Suisse said that easyJet trades at 16 times' prospective earnings, in line with sector peer Ryanair.

"It has closed a 10% valuation gap to Ryanair over the past two weeks yet having surpassed Ryanair returns/cash flow generation in 2013, we think it should trade at a premium.

"We continue to see easyJet as a multi-year value proposition, and re-iterate our view [...] that easyJet should be able to capitalise on attractive medium-term volume and pricing opportunities."

The bank kept its 2,021p target price for the stock, which was up 2.5% at 1,835p by 12:54 on Friday.

155 - if what you say is true, then categorically, cash dow would also have reacted before the event - which of course it did not

================

more importantly ......
i would have thought there ought to be some reflection in TCG's next numbers

Well im not telling porkies at least 3 yank tweets at about 1.17 giving the exact figures AND both the FTSE and DOW DID start first dropping a little then going higher.

You must have seen it.

i don't watch minute/minute, but the movement i saw on dow was minimal and no more than would have been expected just before the announcement ..... once the numbers came out, dow rocketed, albeit only fairly briefly .... and indeed, it's rallying again quite strongly as i write

meanwhile ..... TCG?

Funnily enough I was talking to Alpesh Patel(top fund manager) wed evening and he rates TCG very highly.

Its one of his top 5 stocks on the market and reckons its got potential to do 250p ish by late summer.

His number one stock is PAY ie, paypoint at the moment.

Says if it breaks 1200p on a 2 day 48 hour basis Snap It Up. Put it on my watch list.

Sent me a note from his site yesterday, Ill send it you on to your E-mail later.

Remind me if I forget, got a poxy party to go to tonight with her indoors.....winebar event.

Rather go down local anytime.

God's punishing you :-)
just going to pop some TCG into my pension i think .... i hold outside as well
