airplanes are big ticket items.........lots of depreciation and finance charges.....no money for dividends one....every few years, there will be a right issue....good times or bad times.
Tony must sell some shares during good times so he can finance the rights issues.
Epf has been unloading like no tomorrow Their stake only left with 4.5% @ 127m shares Each day epf can dispose 26m shares I believe epf can dispose all witha this week
Hi, Icon8888 Nice work you have done there. You clear my mind. Thank you! Little bit of remarks, i will love you even more if you can adjust the figures, if you think i got a point(since i am very lazy).
1. Dec is the strongest quarter, so maybe you wanna adjust revenue slightly lower. 2. When oil price was higher they collect fuel surcharge. I guess if you substract the fuel surcharge away ( 669M in 2014 ), there will be no/little fuel saving??? (sorry, guys) Tony already said many times in interviews, when oil price is low, ticket becomes more affordable. The net and/or main effect should be better load factor, lower average variable cost, etc. However, in the coming quarters you can see the more realistic (sorry to use that word Icon8888) fuel savings as 1. some of the expensive hedge expired, 2. fuel prices did come even lower. 3. Now i can see why Tony is selling, he is just being rational. Previously i said RM6-8 target price is way too much. 4. The loss making associates will always be a problem(S). Airasia has all the resources and lower fuel prices doesn't change that much.
The good news is i got to keep my house(its a joke, ok!?).
as for me.....fair valuation of an airline in perfect times command a PE of 6......
AAX, no need to sailang...but 50% portfolio is justifiable.
AAX , PE 6 still got room to go. in the case of AAX, last quarter, they say they made 6 c..............PE of 6 means AAX gets to $1.00 even if Tony charges them higher fees.
No dividend... rights issue every few years.... sure or not? Taken a look at the accounts already or not??

icon, good analysis, but jet fuel n crude oil price is diff, normally jet fuel is 10 to 15 usd higher then crude, u are using crude oil price for ur estimation.anyway, there is definitely a big save for airasia
KUALA LUMPUR: Low-cost carrier AirAsia has abolished the fuel surcharge with effect from Monday as crude oil price fell more than 50% since July 2014.
AirAsia said the abolishment of the surcharge was for all its airlines in the group, as well as its low-cost long haul affiliates AirAsia X, Thai AirAsia X and Indonesia AirAsia X, in line with declining global oil prices.
AirAsia’s group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said This decision was made in November 2014, which was in line with declining global oil prices.
“However, we are only able to implement it now, but we believe removing fuel surcharge and reducing travel costs will be a huge boost to the tourism industry. This will be a plus point for consumers, but the economy will also benefit from this as the tourism industry is a great job creator.”
AirAsia, he said, is a high-value, low-fare airline and it will continue to strive to make flying as affordable as possible.
Fernandes said the abolishment of fuel surcharge would further reduce travel costs and stimulate more demand for travel and tourism.
“With the removal of fuel surcharge from its fares, guests will be able to find domestic flights from as low as RM19 one way all-in, and international flights from RM49 one way all-in,” he said.
AirAsia was the first airline to abolish fuel surcharge for all its domestic and international flights back in 2008, however rocketing fuel prices forced the airline to re-introduce fuel surcharge into its fares in 2011. TAGS / KEYWORDS:
Stockmanmy, you are right! Look closely in the P&L, really nothing left after paying all expenses(if your true business is selling plane tickets only). As the sage of Omaha says, "0 sum game". His remarks on transportation also very useful, its good for the public but really profitable. But since it is Tony, maybe he is a little bit better than that. At least you have to give him the credit of never/haven't ask for Right issue (that he can't afford to subscribe).
(Icon) Air Asia - Sell Your Car, Sell Your House. Time To Sailang
Icon, if Airasia cant move up how? You give me back my cars, houses? I have 2 ferarri, 2 Lamborghini now, 10 terrace houses, 2 condos. How? You compensate me?
Thanks Icon8888! Selling cars and house will be too late to get the capital.... call up your credit card customer service and get a CashLine from them faster.
ALL IN!! SELL ALL YOUR HOUSES AND CARS to ALL IN AIRASIA FLYING INTO THE SKY, EVERYONE CAN FLY AND EARN NOW WITH AIRASIA POTENTIAL 100000000% UPSIDE! SKY IS THE LIMIT WITH EXPANSION
yes, a very good writing indeed. your masterpiece is always a good reference for others. i guess lots of people would like to read yours more than others, hahaha, especially there are so many interested shareholders out there. wish everyone can fly!
I rerun the numbers again and what puzzle me is that the next quarter they will only make RM180M. And then i realise in fact this quarter they din't make any money if you take away the 728M lease charges recovered or whatever it is. Things will go better going forward but they start from ground zero.
1st, Airasia has hedged 50% of their fuel at USD 59 for year 2016. Therefore, it is actually half leg reached USD59. 2nd, jet fuel price is NOT the crude oil price you saw. Jet oil kerosene is now ard USD $48.

Which means profit could be even higher since Icon's estimate is 100% hedge at USD 52
