Now when the QAN share price is diving (26% down from its latest peak in March this year), it's good to take a longer-term look at the share price development during AJ's tenure as the CEO. For interest, I plotted some of their peers for comparison: IAG, AA, CX, SQ and JL. QF is the light blue line in the middle there.
Attached are three charts:
1) 15 years (AJ's tenure) without JL. JL skews chart because of their post-pandemic share price so I have removed it from this chart.
2) 15 years with all six airline companies.
3) Post-pandemic development (from 2/2020) with all six.
Looks like post-pandemic QAN has been well in the comparison group, up until the recent controversies. AA's development in the long run has been interesting but post-pandemic only is less flattering. JL's development long term is peculiar and there must be factors like gov't rescue packages (from bankruptcy), or similar, in play.
Last time the stock was permanently below $5 levels was in 2017 and earlier. There also has been a period of dividends in 2017-2020 (and also in 2009) but they've been off for most of these 15 years.
--> Despite how glowing AJ wanted to be about his virtues as the CEO, as an investment your success is really subject to your entry time. I'd bet there are plenty of shareholders from the last six who are on red and cursing AJ's legacy.
