An announcement from Jet2 PLC ( (GB:JET2) ) is now available.

Jet2 plc, the UK leisure travel group behind Jet2holidays and Jet2.com, derives the bulk of its revenue from ATOL-protected package holidays to Mediterranean, Canary Islands and European leisure destinations, with flights operated from 14 UK airport bases. The company positions itself as a leading provider of integrated holiday products, with a majority of passengers booking full package deals rather than flight-only services.

Jet2 has completed its up to £100 million share buyback programme with the repurchase and intended cancellation of 560,575 ordinary shares between 28 April and 1 May 2026. Following this final tranche of purchases, the company will have 190,915,470 shares in issue, a move that modestly reduces its share count and may enhance earnings per share while clarifying the new denominator for regulatory disclosure of shareholder interests.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:JET2) stock is a Hold with a £1200.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Jet2 PLC stock, see the GB:JET2 Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on JET2 Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, JET2 is a Outperform.

Jet2 PLC’s strong financial performance, strategic growth initiatives, and undervaluation relative to peers are significant strengths. The company’s robust earnings call and proactive corporate events, such as the share buyback program, further enhance its investment appeal. However, concerns about cash flow and rising operational costs slightly temper the overall outlook.
