Jaina Mistry’s rating is based on several factors influencing Wizz Air Holdings’ performance. The company’s passenger growth in May was recorded at 10%, with a slight increase in load factor to 91.2%. However, to meet the Q1 consensus of 18 million passengers, a significant acceleration in growth to 30% in June would be necessary, which seems challenging given the current trends.
Furthermore, the forecast for FY26 suggests a potential slight decline in passenger consensus, as indicated by Cirium seat capacity data showing only a 13.9% increase for June compared to May’s 11%. These factors combined suggest potential headwinds for Wizz Air Holdings, leading to a cautious outlook and the Sell rating by Jaina Mistry.
