“Qantas soars to all-time high” (share price) according to an article in the Fin Review, today. Sorry, but can’t post the link.

I've not read the article. While companies that reach a new high deserve to be congratulated, in QF's case in 2007 at one stage the share price reached A$6.28 or so, and today closed at A$6.83 so if we did a 'share price versus CPI' calculation, on the face of it not great, but any dividends need to be factored in.

On the plus side, there has been a recent share buyback that can be positive for a share price; on the minus side, there was a period - quite a while - when dividends were not paid. IIRC at one stage shareholders complained about this.

And a certain AFF member (not me) who bought at just over $1 about 6 years ago would be laughing now, if still holding them.

Edit: It's in a thread somewhere

Probably the biggest impact on airline profitability is the crude oil market.
If he can control that he's worth every cent ;^)
