Stock Surge: Why Air New Zealand Is Up 13.46% Today

 

The Air New Zealand [NZX:AIR] share price has leapt over 13% today during a positive start to trading across the NZX.

Air New Zealand — established in 1940 — is the country’s beloved national airline, operating flights to domestic and global destinations. It has a strong presence on the New Zealand Stock Exchange, as well as the Australian Securities Exchange.

The company’s share price is currently $1.18, and it has a market capitalisation of $1.01 billion.

 

Why has the [NZX:AIR] share price risen?

 

The share was previously sold down heavily on the coronavirus risk event. There now appears to be a number of more optimistic considerations driving investor sentiment:

 

Where could [NZX:AIR] go from here?

 

Any positive development in the travel and aviation sector will play into increased optimism on the share price. The recent strengthening of Auckland Airport and possible disappearance of certain airline competitors may improve the outlook for Air New Zealand.

The question now is how long it will take to stage any sort of meaningful air travel recovery? Given world events, it may be a long time indeed.
