  • easyJet share price drops 65% in 5 years: Is now a buying opportunity?
    May 19, 2026, 3:24 AM EDT. easyJet (LSE:EZJ) shares have fallen 65.1% since May 2018, turning a £1,000 investment into £441, including dividends. The budget airline faces near-term challenges from soaring jet fuel costs due to the Middle East conflict, with an expected first-half pre-tax loss between £540m-£560m, up from £394m a year ago. Forward bookings are slightly down, creating uncertainty. CEO Kenton Jarvis highlighted shortened booking visibility and demand concerns. However, easyJet maintains a strong financial position with £4.7bn liquidity and 70% of summer fuel hedged below current prices. Earnings per share are forecast to grow 13% annually over two years, signaling cyclical issues. Analysts' consensus price target is 445p, nearly 30% above current levels, suggesting a potential buying opportunity amid market pessimism.
