EasyJet (ISIN GB00B7KR2P84) was trading at EUR 7.92 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026, at 2:09 p.m. CEST, up 1.02 percent versus the prior close of EUR 7.84. The central corporate event is Apollo's recommended cash acquisition, which gives the airline a defined offer value while its London listing remains active.

Apollo offer fixes a reference value

According to easyJet on September 7, 2026, Apollo offers GBP 7.15 in cash for each share. The transaction values easyJet at GBP 5.7 billion and carries an 81.00 percent premium to the share price before takeover speculation began.

The timetable now points to the next procedural hurdle rather than a new operating announcement. The scheme document is due by October 15, 2026, shareholder meetings are expected in the week beginning November 9, 2026, and completion is expected by the end of the first quarter of 2027, subject to approvals.

H1 loss contrasts with Holidays growth

Investing.com reports that easyJet posted a GBP 552 million pre-tax loss in H1 2026, compared with a GBP 394 million loss in H1 2025. The result reflects higher fuel costs and investment in fleet expansion.

The same H1 2026 summary shows a sharper performance in easyJet Holidays: EBIT increased 50.00 percent to GBP 48 million, passenger growth reached 6.00 percent and load factor reached 90.00 percent. That split leaves the takeover offer as the immediate valuation anchor, while the operating picture remains mixed across divisions.

Stock remains near its yearly peak

EasyJet returned to the FTSE 100 in September 2026, according to a market report, while the proposed acquisition could take the company off the London market after completion. The quoted LSE range was GBp 332.80 to GBp 683.80 on September 29, 2026, keeping the primary-exchange figures separate from the euro quote used for German investors.

The next earnings report is listed for December 1, 2026. For investors, the key checkpoint is whether the GBP 7.15 cash consideration continues to frame the stock while the scheme document and shareholder votes move toward the scheduled timetable.
