Today’s IAG headlines (10 Nov)
1) Daily buyback update (RNS):
IAG disclosed that, as part of its ongoing repurchase programme, it bought 980,495 shares on 7 November, with London executions between £3.6960 and £3.8830 and Madrid executions between €4.2020 and €4.4570. Following these trades, treasury shares total 143,865,460, with 4,583,335,687 shares in issue excluding treasury. The programme was first announced on 28 February 2025. [3]
2) Broker support — JPMorgan:
JPMorgan reiterated Overweight on IAG and highlighted a €5.50 price target today, describing IAG as one of its preferred airline names following last week’s results. Multiple outlets carried the update during Monday trading. [4]
Madrid listing also higher
On Spain’s Mercado Continuo, IAG (IAG.MC) finished around €4.316, up roughly 3.6% on the day, mirroring the London recovery. [5]
What moved the shares
- Buyback momentum: The daily RNS confirmed continued execution of IAG’s 2025 repurchase programme, underpinning per‑share metrics and offering a floor for sentiment after Friday’s drop. [6]
- Fresh analyst backing: JPMorgan’s reiteration of Overweight with a €5.50 target added support into the open and helped stabilise the tape after a volatile week for European airlines. [7]
The near‑term calendar and catalysts
- Interim dividend: IAG’s interim dividend of €0.048 per share is slated for payment on 1 December 2025 (ex‑dividend 27 November), a detail that continues to factor into total‑return calculations this month. [8]
- Ongoing buybacks: Investors should expect further 07:00 (UK) RNS updates on buyback activity through the programme’s life, which can influence daily liquidity and pricing. [9]
Context: recovering from Friday’s hits
Friday’s results day saw IAG flag softness in the U.S. market and pressure on North Atlantic unit revenues, which triggered a sharp intraday fall. Monday’s bounce retraced part of that move, but the medium‑term narrative still hinges on transatlantic demand, currency effects and fuel costs into year‑end. [10]
Quick take
IAG finished Monday firmer, helped by mechanical support from its buyback and signal support from JPMorgan’s stance. With dividend timing approaching and RNS activity ongoing, short‑term flows may remain lively. The bigger battle is still fundamental: how quickly transatlantic yields and load factors stabilise after the Q3 wobble.
