SHARE PRICE EVOLUTION CAPITAL STRUCTURE
As of 31 December 2015
with growing concerns over the Greek debt cri-
sis, geopolitical turmoil, particularly in the Middle
East, and the fall in commodity prices to his-
torical lows. In addition, market uncertainties in
emerging countries and declining growth rates
in China brought overall markets down.
Early in October, the US Federal Reserve de-
layed an expected interest rate increase, giv-
ing equity markets a boost. For Airbus Group
investors, the nine-month results release on
30October 2015 provided further grounds for
optimism, with news of a further single aisle
production rate increase and confirmation of a
€ 1billion share buyback.
During the last month of the year, the stock de-
clined, despite several target price increases by
analysts, following new historical lows in the price
of oil and a slightly stronger euro against the dollar.
On 31 December 2015, the Airbus Group share
price closed at € 62.00.
Thanks to the strong year on year performance
the Airbus Group share price outperformed
the MSCI Aerospace benchmark and wider
markets. In the same period, the CAC40 rose
8.5%, while the DAX and the MDAX moved up
9.6% and 22.7% respectively. TheEuroStoxx50
climbed 3.9%.
After seeing a period of consolidation
in 2014, Airbus Group shares made
a strong return into positive territory
in 2015. Despite macroeconomic
instability and volatile stock markets,
the share advanced 50% during
the course of the year, supported
by the Group’s solid operational
and financial performance and a
euro-dollar tailwind.
Starting from its low of € 41.35 at the close of
31 December 2014, the Airbus Group share
price breached for the first time ever the € 60
mark at closing on 11 March and reached in
August and November two new all-time highs
of € 67.18 and € 68.44, respectively, each time
following the disclosure of Airbus Group results.
In the first months of the year the Airbus Group
share progressed, supported by favourable EUR/
USD rates, following the launch of additional
quantitative easing measures by the European
Central Bank towards the end of January 2015,
and Airbus Group’s announcement in February of
a production rate increase within the single-aisle
programme to 50 aircraft per month by 2017.
The positive trend continued until the middle
of the year, when a period of turbulence set in,
