Trading Idea of the Day
ASX:FLT - Flight Centre (BULLISH - long term & BEARISH - short term)
- Key levels on the chart - consider taking trades from key support/resistance zones.
- Flight Centre's corporate travel segment has returned to pre-covid form
- Management said they expect to see a 'significant second half profit improvement' underpinned by strong top-line growth and greater stability in supply chains.
- Leisure bookings remain subdued, impacted by the 'lack of competition and spare capacity'
- Revenue margins forecast to remain below pre-covid levels for FY23
- A meaningful recovery in international capacity is projected for the near-term, with capacity "likely to be back to circa 70% of pre-COVID levels by December and approaching 90% by mid-2023."
