Stock Track11-08

Shares of International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG), the parent company of British Airways, soared 5.26% in pre-market trading on November 8, 2024. The surge came after the airline group reported robust third-quarter results and announced a new share buyback program, reflecting its confidence in the company's long-term prospects.

IAG reported a 7.9% increase in total revenue for the third quarter of 2024, driven by strong demand in its core markets, particularly on the lucrative North Atlantic and London-New York routes. The company's operating profit rose 15.4% to over €2 billion, surpassing analysts' expectations.

In addition to the impressive financial performance, IAG announced a new share buyback program worth €350 million, scheduled to commence on November 13, 2024. The buyback plan, which includes purchasing shares from both the open market and Qatar Airways (to maintain its 25.143% stake), underscores the company's belief in its strategy, business model, and long-term prospects.
