EasyJet shares at lowest-ever level

Wednesday, 24 Sep, 2004 0

Travel and tourism stocks saw mainly small, downward movements yesterday – while Easyjet’s shares fell to their lowest-ever price.

 

Shares in the no-frills carrier fell back 11p to 128p after the company predicted that fares would remain under pressure next year – even it is to increase the size of its fleet by 16 per cent.

 

Despite expected pre-tax profits of £60 million for the year to September 31, dealers are reportedly more concerned about the carrier’s future.

 

The Guardian quotes one as saying: “The earnings upgrade is much as expected and of little significance as investors are more concerned with the tough winter ahead rather than the year just gone.”

 

On a day that saw most sectors of the market drop back, the FTSE 100 index fell 24 points to close at 4568.3, while the FTSE 250 dropped 63.3 points to close at 6205.2.
