British Airways shareholders will take a 55% stake in the new company, while Iberia shareholders will own the remaining 45% stake.

Get Lost Fred!

Indeed, Corbyn and Boris are both Brexit buffoons. However, Farage gets most of my vitriol - at very high hydrostatic pressure.

An update on post 415.

Could be wrong but I think 460 would be a good target with a Limit, could spike up there. Then we know what to do with spikes.

skinny re. 433 (which re. 415). Filling the gap then.

I think it will hold the new level - when it gets there. Of course I want it to, but it's also realistic! 445-460 until next results, then up, up and away?

Another 18 points banked - 460 - still looks a leap too far atm?

Well done skinny!

My opinion FWIW, it will hold ~445 - 460 range until next results (see my post 436). Or something else positive, like Boris the Buffoon is sacked or sense comes into play within GB Govt.

Personally don't see why IAG can't get above 500 again and I'm happy to hold.

Upcoming Events

May be 460 this time?

If it can break 200DMA 480p next stop barring Armageddon :0)

Presumably rising fuel prices won't have an immediate effect?

International Consolidated Airlines Group posts operating profits before exceptional items of €2,535m for the year to the end of December - 8.6% up on last time.

The group's performance was affected by an adverse currency impact of €460 million.

In particular, this was due to the weak pound following the EU referendum.

Revenue for the year fell by 1.3% to €22,567m and passenger unit revenue for the year was down 5.4% at constant currency.

Fuel unit costs for the year before exceptional items was down 26.8%, down 25.8% at constant currency.

Non-fuel unit costs for the year before exceptional items was down 4.1% and up 0.5% at constant currency.

Profit after tax of €1,952m was up 28.8% and diluted earnings per share rose by 25.7%.

The full year dividend of 23.5 cents is up 17.5%.

Chief executive Willie Walsh said: "In the quarter, we made an operating profit before exceptional items of €620 million, up from a €530 million operating profit last year, with an improvement of our underlying passenger revenue trend.

"For the full year, it was a good performance in a challenging environment with an operating profit of €2,535 million before exceptional items, up 8.6 per cent versus last year.

"Our performance was affected by an adverse currency impact of €460 million. In particular, this was due to the weak pound following the UK's EU referendum. However, despite that, we've made good progress and continue to build on all we've achieved in our first five years.

"In 2016, we carried more than 100 million passengers - double the number British Airways and Iberia carried in 2010, a year before IAG was created.

"We're committed to providing a sustainable dividend for our shareholders and are pleased to confirm that the Board is proposing a final dividend of 12.5 euro cents per share.

"This brings the full year dividend to 23.5 euro cents per share, subject to shareholder approval at our AGM in June.

"Also today we're announcing that we intend to carry out a share buyback of €500 million during the course of 2017 which may be implemented through one or more share buyback programmes.

"We have great confidence in IAG's future prospects and are increasing cash returns to our shareholders."
