We expect Wizz Air to have achieved a relatively-decent summer, mainly on stable yoy ex-fuel CASK (caskx). We maintain our negative view on the coming winter, however, and have adjusted our loss estimates upwards, as fast growth by Ryanair in several of Wizz Air’s key markets collides with the company’s own capacity acceleration. This could put pressure on yields and exacerbate losses. While things may get worse before they start getting better, we believe that upside risks prevail from the curr...

EME Equity Market – August 2025 Corrections in Poland and the broader MSCI EM Europe. The MSCI EM Europe Index declined by 2.3% mom in EUR terms and was flat (0.0%) in USD terms in August.

Summary: We raise our target price from 17.0 GBP to 20.0 GBP and reiterate our Buy recommendation, reflecting the promise of a restructuring story. Following the fiscal Q1/26 conference call held on 24 July, we concluded that a major structural change is under way, which the market should welcome. The management might be on the right track to build confidence in investors. Wizz Air’s CEO stressed to refocus on core CEE markets and announced to cut capacity growth prospects. It was crucial ...

We have significantly reduced our forecasts following Wizz Air’s early June financial report, which fell short of expectations. Moreover, the company published guidance for next year that also came in below expectations for key performance indicators. The stock’s poor performance comes as no surprise, as a growing number of investors are questioning the credibility and preparedness of the management. We have lowered our target price from 22.1 GBP to 17.0 GBP, while maintaining our Buy recommenda...

Following the recalibration of Wizz Air’s strategy, we have tried to capture some of the changes ahead, in our revised figures. The pivot towards slower growth and refocusing on CEE could support margins over the medium term. The near-term dynamics remain challenging, however. Wizz is still likely to grow 15-20% this winter, which, given seasonally-low demand, may pressure margins. The accelerated return of current engine option (ceo) aircraft to the lessors over the next two years could also el...

Wizz Air’s 1QF26 figures were a slight miss to our forecasts, and a more material one to consensus. The emphasis, this time around, seems mainly on the significant planned refocusing of the business. On top of the recently-announced exit from Abu Dhabi, Wizz Air plans to slow its expansion materially, and is planning to reduce its capacity (ASK) growth rate to around 10-12% in the medium term, from roughly mid-2026E onwards. It also plans to refocus the business towards CEE, unpark all of the gr...
