Key numbers explained

• 4.36 GBP is the current share price, the amount you would pay for one share on the London Stock Exchange stocks market.
• The +1.87% price change today shows the percentage move in the share price so far during the trading session.
• The trailing P/E ratio of 7.9 divides the current share price by the last 12 months of earnings per share; a lower P/E ratio can suggest the stock is priced low relative to recent earnings, but it is only one valuation lens.
• The forward P/E ratio of 6.5 uses expected future earnings instead of past earnings, giving a sense of how the market prices what the company might earn next.
• The dividend yield of 1.95% is the annual dividend payment expressed as a percentage of the current share price; it tells you the cash return you would receive from dividends alone if the yield stayed the same.
• The exDividendDate of 25 iun. 2026 is the date on or after which a buyer is no longer entitled to the next dividend payment.
• 15% of earnings paid out as dividends shows how much of the company's profit is returned to shareholders, with the rest kept for reinvestment or other corporate purposes.
• 1.32 beta measures the stock's sensitivity to overall market moves; a beta above 1 means IAG has historically moved more than the market in either direction.
• The 52-week range of 3,33 – 4,93 shows the lowest and highest share prices over the past year, framing where the current 4,36 GBP sits within that span.
• 11.5% price change over the last 52 weeks is the total return from one year ago to today, ignoring dividends.
• 33,37 mld. EUR trailing 12 months revenue is the total sales the company generated over the last year.
• 0.2% revenue growth year over year indicates the pace at which top-line sales have changed compared with the prior year.
• 9.2% profit margin is net income divided by revenue, showing how many cents of profit the company keeps for each euro of sales.
• 14.4% operating margin reflects earnings from core operations before interest and taxes, as a percentage of revenue.
• 42.1% return on equity measures how effectively the company generates profit from shareholders' invested capital.
• 160.7% debt-to-equity ratio compares total debt to shareholders' equity, indicating a high level of leverage relative to equity.
• 261.14 price-to-book compares the market price to the company's book value per share, which can be elevated when the market values the business above its accounting net assets.

What to watch

IAG's share price is influenced by fuel costs, foreign exchange movements, global travel demand, and competition within the airline sector. Regulatory changes, labor relations, and broader economic conditions also play a role. Because the company carries significant debt, interest rates and credit conditions are additional factors to monitor. For comparison, peers such as EasyJet (EZJ), RELX (REL), BAE Systems (BA), Weir (WEIR), Intertek (ITRK), and Smiths Group (SMIN) operate in different industries and may react differently to the same macro environment. IAG's next earnings release is scheduled for 6 nov. 2026.
