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-s...
>Disappointing EBITDA performance - Wizz Air has just released its figures for the H1 2024-2025 (ending September 2024).

The combination of continued capacity recovery and a weak macro backdrop is putting pressure on passenger yields. The more favourable fuel prices (and, for Turkish Airlines (THYAO), higher cargo yields) only partially compensate for cost pressures caused by the GTF engine issue, higher personnel costs, and general cost inflation. This means that margins are beginning to compress from the often very high levels we have seen in the past two-to-three years. Among the four airlines that we cover, we...

Yesterday (2 October), Wizz Air hosted a CMD in Budapest for the buy and sell sides. As it is currently in a closed period, the conversation did not focus on either the performance during the summer, or its near-term trading. Instead, the discussion concentrated on the longer-term evolution of, and prospects for, the business. In our view, most investors and analysts do not dispute that Wizz operates an attractive model, with a uniquely-efficient fleet underpinning its ultra-low-cost model. In t...
