EasyJet ( (GB:EZJ) ) has provided an announcement.
EasyJet reported a wider headline loss before tax of £93 million for the first quarter of its 2026 financial year, despite robust demand that lifted passenger numbers by 7% and improved load factors to 90%, supported by capacity growth and a strong performance from easyJet holidays, which delivered £50 million of profit and 20% customer growth. Operational metrics improved notably, with better on-time performance and higher customer satisfaction, while record January booking volumes and strong forward sales for summer 2026 underpin unchanged full-year guidance of around 7% ASK growth, modest unit cost inflation and continued revenue maturation from recent capacity investments in Italy and new bases, as the airline targets sustainable profit growth and reinforces its sustainability leadership in the sector.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:EZJ) stock is a Sell with a £4.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on EasyJet stock, see the GB:EZJ Stock Forecast page.
