Qantas's Buyback Pause Doesn't Surprise Bulls -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Apr 14

0404 GMT - Qantas's decision not to commence its previously announced A$150 million on-market buyback causes no surprise at Macquarie. With fuel costs surging and demand uncertain, the investment bank's analysts tell clients in a note that they hadn't expected the carrier to start buying stock. They estimate that Qantas will take close to a A$500 million Ebitda hit from the Iran conflict. For international flights, they think that A$150 million-A$200 million of additional revenue helps offset A$600 million in fuel costs. Domestically, they see something like a A$70 million hit. Macquarie expects any negative impact on international demand to more fully emerge in 2026's December quarter. Macquarie has an outperform rating and A$11.30 target price on the stock, which is down 1.1% at A$8.91.(stuart.condie@wsj.com)
