1. Investment Thesis — Base Case

The base case rests on a classic and self-help execution. At 7.58 euros, Lufthansa trades at a steep twenty-two percent discount to of 11.65 billion euros and less than five times . While elevated oil prices and strike residue severely depressed 2026 first-half results, evidence confirms yield discipline is holding as unit revenues rise over six percent. As fifty modern aircraft enter service annually through 2028, unit fuel consumption falls twenty-five percent, while Turnaround initiatives eliminate 1.5 billion euros in structural costs, driving a methodical multiple rerating toward historical norms.

  • of 9.47 euros per share provides an unassailable asset floor against further equity market downside.
  • Normalizing adjusted EBIT margins toward 7% by 2028 supports sustainable annual recovery above 1.50 euros per share.
  • Standalone valuation of Lufthansa Technik alone covers eighty-five percent of group , confirming profound equity mispricing.

Alpha-gap assessment
