Japan Airlines (9201) Earnings Surpass Estimates: Net Income Forecast Boosted for FY

Japan Airlines on Smartkarma

On Smartkarma, an independent investment research network, top independent analysts have been publishing research on companies like “Japan Airlines“. According to Michael Causton‘s report, JAL and ANA have entered the online retail market with their own e-commerce malls, leveraging customer data and catering to premium clientele. This move allows them to compete with big players like Amazon and Rakuten. Despite the intense competition, airlines have distinct advantages such as access to data on millions of consumers and premium customers willing to spend large amounts.

Neil Glynn‘s research on Japanese Airlines reveals that ANA has outperformed JAL in terms of financial recovery, raising questions for JAL’s medium-term strategy. The analyst also suggests that JAL’s FY24 guidance of ¥130bn is conservative, based on historical full-service carrier earnings seasonality. Glynn’s analysis shows that JAL’s cost management has been strong, positioning them well for the long-term.

In another report, Glynn highlights that JAL’s unit cost management has resulted in significant short-term upside to earnings expectations. The analyst believes that JAL’s FY24 guidance is achievable, unless forward bookings weaken. Mohshin Aziz‘s report also touches on JAL, mentioning a recent incident where a Japan Airlines flight caught fire upon landing at Haneda Airport, causing runway closures and diversions. This event could have a negative impact on Japan Airport Terminal and Japan Airlines.
