(News Bulletin 247) – Liberum maintains its ‘buy’ recommendation and its price target of 220 pence on International Airlines Group (IAG) after the publication of annual results online, with targets for 2023 deemed ‘generally reassuring’.

“The results showed the expected return to significant profitability, as the easing of restrictions on international travel helped to meet pent-up demand,” explains the broker in its note on the air carrier.

“Targets for 2023 overlap with the current consensus, with our forecast being at the upper end of management’s range,” he adds, noting that the Anglo-Spanish group sees most of the improvement over to 2022 in the first half.
