Qantas Airways is trading at A$9.66, up 4.77% after reporting A$2.06 billion FY26 underlying profit, slightly above the A$2.00 billion consensus estimate.
- Investors responded positively to projected 8%-10% first-half FY27 revenue growth per seat, resilient travel demand, and a 19.8-cent final dividend.
- The outlook outweighed a 14% profit decline and A$420 million Middle East conflict impact on second-half earnings.
