Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said: “EasyJet may have chalked up some eye-catching losses in the final three months of 2025, but investors were more interested in the record bookings during January for the crucial summer season and the unchanged outlook.
“Airlines are often in the red during the lower-demand winter period due to the significant fixed costs associated with running and maintaining a fleet of planes and their crew.
“Losses were exacerbated in EasyJet’s most recent period thanks to investments in Italy, but the market is likely to be forgiving if they subsequently deliver revenue growth.
“In highlighting the competitive environment, EasyJet offers a reminder that operating budget flights remains a cut-throat market.
“EasyJet’s share price has not been without turbulence in the post-pandemic era, though the one big success story has been the company’s expansion into package holidays. This part of the business has made an increasing contribution to group revenue, profit and cash flow in recent times and is continuing to grow rapidly.”
