Icelandair Group

Icelandair reported record Q1 2026 revenue of $347m (+21%) with improved results (EBIT loss of $53.3m; EBIT margin -15.4%).

Nevertheless, strong fuel price volatility driven by geopolitical tensions is weighing on profitability; management has announced capacity adjustments, fare increases and measures to maintain fleet health as countermeasures. Investors remain cautious, the stock trades near its yearly low, and the Q2 outlook remains dependent on fuel prices and currency effects. » Plus sur de.investing.com
