Overview

At A$8.79, its shares sit within a 52-week range of A$7.75 to A$10.84.

The scale of the business is substantial, but airline earnings remain sensitive to demand and operating conditions.

- Target vs last price
- 32.71% from last price
A supplied target-price reference of A$11.53 is 31.20% above the last price of A$8.79. This is secondary context rather than a forecast or assurance of future performance; the investment case ultimately depends on Qantas’ ability to sustain demand, manage costs and convert revenue into profit.
Risks
Airlines are exposed to changes in travel demand and operating costs, and those pressures can affect earnings. Qantas’ 5.05% profit margin leaves profitability sensitive to shifts in revenue and costs. Its share price is below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, while the 52-week range illustrates that market pricing has varied materially.
