3.5 the max.. will stable around 2.7

Queuing to sell @ 3.1!

I have feeling going in now is suicide...

With the crude oil rising, it will surely have an adverse effect on aviation industry, unlese Air Asia did well with their oil hedging. Don't get me wrong, I love Air Asia flights and they r still growing but in a very aggressive way. Gearing ratio are very high and I afraid that crude oil might just affect their profit margin and eventually debt repayment.

For those that hold on to this stocks, do monitor it closely and check out for the related news. Air Asia is not the kinda stock that you can sit back while waiting for it to grow, because any news can seriously affect the price badly. Good luck brothers!

the problem with AirAsia is their business model - use future money for today. You can book your ticket one year ahead, they collect the money from you first and use it today.

If oil price goes up, airport tax goes up, inflation and etc, it will effect their balance sheet.

If Tony managed to pull this off then he will be a very rich man, if his bets are wrong then the company will owe and lose lots of money.

HLIB Research maintains Buy on AirAsia, TP of RM3.46

KUALA LUMPUR: Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research is maintaining a Buy on AIRASIA BHD [] with a target price of RM3.46 based on sum-of-parts, to better reflect Airasia's valuation post IPO exercises of associates and investment.

The research house said on Tuesday, Jan 25 AirAsia will continue to stand out against other regional LCCs and FSCs due to its strong brand name, large networks and low operating cost structure.

On Monday, AirAsia announced strong growth in 4Q10 operating statistics with continued high passenger load factor.

HLIB Research said the low-cost carrier's full year operating statistics
were inline with its FY10 assumptions. AirAsia reported +20.6% yoy growth in RPK (demand) and +9.7% yoy in ASK (supply). Passenger load factor at historical high of 82.5%.

"The strong growth achieved by AirAsia group confirms our view of the
potential growth of LCC market in Southeast Asia, due to regional economic growth and the emerging trend of air travels," it said.

AirAsia price drop deemed from profit-taking activities



Maybank Investment Bank Bhd said in a report to its clients that the decline in AirAsia's share price was mainly sentiment driven as fundamentals were largely absent yesterday. The report added that share prices of European LCCs such as EasyJet and Ryanair had also fallen, thus possibly impacting AirAsia's share price as they might share common foreign shareholders who decided to realise profits and discount accordingly.

“Looking across Europe, UK-based LCC EasyJet stated that their first-half losses may double from the year before, resulting in its share price falling. Although Ryanair's performance is historically better and not-akin to EasyJet's behaviour, its share price fell,” Maybank said.

A foreign research house analyst said AirAsia's fall in share price was in line with the lower broader market due to profit-taking activities. The local benchmark, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBM KLCI), shed 4.46 points, or 0.29%, to end at 1,542.97 yesterday.

Maybank said AirAsia remained an attractive buy against other global LCC as it was trading at a discount of 40%-47% against its peers.

“Our one-year forward target of RM3.36 is based on a 2% discount to the market. We see a 23% upside to fair value,” it said.

The research report also highlighted that AirAsia's volatility had surged by 24% to 1.26 from a year ago, making it one of the most volatile FBM KLCI stocks. In addition, it is also the second most volatile LCC stock in the world.

Fernandes told StarBiz via a text message that the company's fundamentals remained good and he was not concerned with the decline seen in the airline's share price.

According to Bloomberg data, 19 out of 25 analysts have given the airline a target price of above RM3, with Credit Suisse placing the highest target price at RM4.30.

AirAsia recorded its highest closing price at RM3.04 on Jan 13 this year, since the company was listed on the local bourse in late 2004.

Meanwhile, AirAsia released its preliminary operating statistics yesterday for the last quarter of 2010. For the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, passengers carried by AirAsia in Malaysia grew 11.1% to 4.44 million from a year ago with a 3% rise in load factor to 82% for the period.

For the three months ended December, passengers carried by Thai AirAsia was up 13.2% to 1.62 million from a year ago with a 1% drop in load factor to 80% for the period.

Passengers carried by Indonesia AirAsia increase 6.5% to over a million with load factor rising 4% to 78% for the quarter ended December.

In total, AirAsia group carried 25.68 million passengers for the whole of last year, representing 13.1% growth from 2009. From the 25.68 million passengers carried, about 63% was from its Malaysian operations, 22% from Thai AirAsia and 15% from Indonesia AirAsia. The group's overall load factor stood at 78% for the full year against 75% in 2009.

the thing not quite like about this stock is no dividend..

Cuz dividend also no frills.. Hahaha

This is a growth stock... Wouldn't you rather go for non-taxable growth than have that taken away by double taxation on dividends paid? If the management has the expertise and skills to grow the company even further hence boosting capital appreciation, wouldn't you want the company's earnings to be fully reinvested in itself? Rather than a large portion taken away by taxes...

Exactly what I want to say. Those high paying dividend stocks are those that already stabilise and reach the maturity stage whereby further growth are limited thus to keep the company value they paying regular dividend to keep shareholders happy. Dividend is only few % while capital appreciation can goes even 100%.
