We have revised our forecasts for Aegean Airlines, following the 1H25 results, maintaining our HOLD rating and nudging our 12M PT upwards to EUR 14.5.

Management remains upbeat on the late-summer demand, and we have raised our 2H25E earnings slightly vs. our prior estimates. We continue to highlight Aegean’s strong cash generation, which could improve in FY26E, as PDPs turn into inflows. With a core a...

Aegean's 2Q25 numbers are fully in line with our estimates. The operating cash flow after leases is down by around 30% compared to the previous two years. However, the guidance on the summer sounds optimistic, and offers possible upside for our ASK estimate for 3Q25E. This may, however, may be offset by the RASK being slightly weaker in 3Q25E, reportedly (we have been pencilling it in as flat yoy). The company is guiding for a brisk 9% seat growth in 4Q25E, which could indicate some upside for t...

This is because of another series of record jackpot rollovers, which have brought Q3 (to-date) Joker GGR >€40m yoy. This means that contrary to market expectations – which envisaged a c€25-30m headwind due...
