Lufthansa : Improvement in profitability expected but CMD targets seem optimistic

Lufthansa held its capital market day back in September, revealing its 2028-30 objectives. Through turnaround programs at its key brand, cost saving initiatives driven by the modernization of the fleet, investments in digital innovation, on top of the overall market growth, the group is targeting a significant improvement in profitability, with EBIT margins set at 8-10% by 2028-30, compared to 4.4% in FY 2024. While we do expect an improvement in the company’s overall profitability, the European airline industry remains challenging from a cost perspective amid tougher regulations, high disruptions, and the continued delay in aircraft deliveries. As such, we believe that the profitability targets are somewhat ambitious.
