(News Bulletin 247) – While acknowledging that the stock displays a demanding valuation, Oddo BHF raises its recommendation on IAG (International Airlines Group) from ‘underperformance’ to ‘neutral’ with a price target raised to two euros, against 1.85 euros previously.

‘The good performance in the first quarter reassures us as to the company’s ability to control its unit costs excluding fuel in an inflationary environment’, explains the analyst.

The design office also says it is “more optimistic today in the generation profile of FCF which makes it possible to gradually reduce the level of indebtedness” which it still considers high compared to peers.
