easyJet (EZJ) shares fell nearly 8 per cent in morning trading after a warning on prospects for the second half of the year, prompted a significant downgrade in analyst forecasts. Macroeconomic uncertainty and “many unanswered questions surrounding Brexit” are behind softer demand for flights; the company already expects to post a £275m loss over its first half. With both sides of the Brexit negotiation process having pledged to keep the skies open, easyJet will be airborne come what may after Brexit. So perhaps short-term economic turmoil needn’t dent the investment case for a business which holds “one of strongest balance sheets in aviation,” in the words of chief executive Johan Lundgren. For now, our recommendation is under review.

Budget airline easyJet has warned of a more cautious outlook for the second half of its financial year, citing weak demand due to "macroeconomic uncertainty and many unanswered questions surrounding Brexit”. The company says it will deliver first-half results in line with expectations, with a loss of about £275m, compared to an £18m loss in the same period last year. However, the budget airline is seeing “increasing softness” in ticket yields in the UK and across Europe. Total first-half revenue for the year is expected to have grown by 7.3% to £2.34bn, but headline costs will be about 18.8% higher, due to greater capacity, higher fuel unit costs and increased cost per seat.

easyJet Plc (EZJ.L) Announced, in its trading update and pre-close statement for the six months to 31 March 2019, that its total first half revenue is expected to grow by circa 7.3% to circa £2,340 million with seat capacity increasing by circa 14.5% to circa 46.2 million as it continues to strengthen its position in key markets as well as completing the annualisation of its flying at Berlin Tegel airport. Total headline cost in the first half is expected to increase by circa 18.8% due to increased capacity, higher fuel unit costs and a modest increase in cost per seat excluding fuel. Whilst it will deliver H1 results in line with expectations, macroeconomic uncertainty and many unanswered questions surrounding Brexit are together driving weaker customer demand in the market, such that it is seeing increasing softness in ticket yields in the UK and across Europe. Given this uncertainty the company’s outlook for H2 is now more cautious.
