Proactive Investors - easyJet (LON:EZJ) PLC boss Johan Lundgren will be looking to bid farewell to investors with a solid set of full-year results next Wednesday, 27 November.
The update is set to mark his last as chief executive before he hands over the reins to chief financial officer Kenton Jarvis in January.
Investors will hope Lundgren can deliver on expectations for an increase in pre-tax profit from £455 million last year to the consensus of £595 million in his parting report.
Focus will also be on expectations beyond Lundgren’s tenure in charge, where analysts anticipate a further climb in pre-tax profit to £692 million for 2025.
For this year, eyes will be on easyJet’s aims to grow capacity by 8% to 100 million, alongside building on 2023’s 89% load factor and revenue per seat of £79.84.
Hargreaves Lansdown (LON:HRGV) analyst Aarin Chiekrie noted easyJet’s last update had landed well as the airline avoided stoking fears highlighted by a weak update from rival Ryanair (LON:0RYA).
He said: “easyJet bucked the trend by selling a higher percentage of its available seats for the fourth quarter, despite increasing its capacity [...] enough to reassure investors”.
“Guidance for revenue per seat in the short term was a little soft though,” Chiekrie added, leaving attention on easyJet’s outlook as industry figures point to ongoing demand growth.
