Qantas Set to Re-rate on Ultra Long-haul Venture

Dow Jones07:57

2357 GMT - Qantas Airways' embarkation on its ultra long-haul venture is seen at Morgan Stanley as the catalyst for the stock to re-rate. Maintaining an overweight rating on the stock, MS analysts tell clients in a note that its international business is the most underappreciated part of Qantas's business outlook and that consensus forecasts do not fully reflect the earnings benefit from fleet investments. This renewal and the nonstop routes Europe and the U.S. create a structurally higher-quality international business, they say. They point to increased premiumization, lower density craft, greater fleet flexibility, and improved network economics. MS lifts its target price 18% to 12.50 Australian dollars. Shares are at A$10.09 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
