Panmure Liberum keeps 'sell' on Wizz Air despite raising target price to 700p

Panmure Liberum maintained its 'sell' rating on Wizz Air while raising the target price from 600p to 700p after the airline's capital markets day. The broker noted Wizz Air's ambitious financial targets, including a 10% operating margin by 2030, which would cover its cost of capital but raised concerns about earnings quality. Wizz Air's growing reliance on aircraft sale and leaseback gains, which heavily boosted profits in 2026, was highlighted as a low-quality earnings source. Despite better unit revenue and raised earnings forecasts, Panmure Liberum expects substantial losses this year and next, with capacity growth slowing and focused on central and eastern Europe and potential expansion in Spain.

Wizz Air's recent broker rating update is context for readers. For those tracking Consumer Cyclical stocks, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Sep 18, 2026 16:21 WIB: Out of 105 stocks, 65 rose and 31 fell.
