Qantas's Switch to Share Buyback Surprises Bull -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
02/26

0149 GMT - Qantas's mix of shareholder returns surprises Jefferies somewhat. The airline announced A$450 million of returns, comprising a 19.8 Australian cent/share base dividend that amounts to A$300 million and a share buyback of up to A$150 million. Analyst Anthony Moulder didn't foresee the switch to a buyback. Still, it suggests that Qantas sees its share price as continuing to significantly undervalue the company. "The strength of the balance sheet allows for some increase in the base dividend, despite the expected step-up in FY 2027 capex expectations," Jefferies adds. Qantas falls 7.3% to A$9.87 today. Jefferies had a buy call and A$13.27/share price target on its stock ahead of the 1H result. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
