AIR - Air NZ.

When they run out of money again next I wonder what the novel ingenious plan will be.

"novel ingenious plan will be"

another cap raise...

if it works once....

We're going to revive and thrive and we really mean it this time. Marketing punch line for the next capital raise.

Grant Robertson airways has a great ring to it.

Will it still fly backwards as well as it does now after 2023 ?

"If it worked twice…"

stand corrected!!

yes !

Might be the case my friend - but what are you buying & for what purposes ?

Forget dividend income for years - the thing is it's going to be coughing & spluttering away
for some time into the future.

For some - 'I own a part of AIR & got them dirt cheap" might be enough .. but how long until
the Dirt Cheap buy cost starts looking like a bargain buy worth the journey ?

Sooner or later an inevitable Share Consolidation is bound to wipe the smiles off many faces.
If that didn't happen what would a potential small dividend per share look like on
the enlarged capital needed to bail AIR out of today's tight spot ?

5-10 year wait anyone ?

More Virus, different virus or worse strains possible ?

More global turbulence ?

Lots of risks in Joe Retail Investors camp and they're not small - all with potential to put the Retail Investor out of any money ahead well into the Red .. or further out the back door for those with higher ingoing cost

Is Joe Retail Investor being taken for a long potentially hazardous ride that they didn't realise ?

Of course indirectly the 51% major holder is really in charge of navigating where the broomstick is headed
- make no mistake about that

And a final point -- I guess everyone here will be eagerly waiting in the queue to jump on the next
AIR flights to go all over the place again, as if nothing has just happened .. or maybe not ?

Look no further than Retailers in some of our cities to see how they're currently faring,
confronted with a perfect storm of a multitude of simultaneous hindrances & disruptions ..

Will AIR be any different or kneecapped by the same perfect storm for a long time ahead ?

I'm picking that both AIR & Retail will have some time going forwards before customers
feel even slightly comfortable returning to a shadow of what was before Covid..

agree with the negative takes on AirNZ - but hard disagree on retail, which even in the midst of Omicron is performing above pre-pandemic 2019 levels of trade. AirNZ and retail stocks are nothing alike.

I agree 100% with that, especially consumer staples retail like WHS.
