WOOD Flash – Wizz Air: 2Q FY25 – 'tis the season?

There goes the summer. For Wizz, 2Q FY25 was yet another weak quarter, as the market has gradually come to expect since the beginning of August. The stock performance and the series of consensus downgrades over the past 3M suggest that the latest set of poor results have been factored in, in our view.
Is Wizz now about to turn a corner, and are the next few quarters looking better? Possibly. The RASK should pick up pace and the ex-fuel CASK should moderate in 2H FY25E. In FY26E, Wizz should re-start growth. However, the risks for the FY25E guidance still appear to be skewed to the downside. Even if fuel and FX save the day, FY25E is bound to be another weak year, we believe, the fifth in a row.
