In 2010, EADS was the seventh best performer of the CAC 40.
It outperformed the CAC 40 and DAX, as well as the Dow
Jones US Select Aerospace & Defense index. In a positive
market environment, EADS benefited from a favourable dollar
development, encouraging news on aircraft orders and
the gradual derisking of the A400M and A380 programmes.
Early in the year, EADS’ share price benefited from a general market upturn. Following
positive news on the continuation of the A400M programme, the EADS share rose to
€ 15.96 on 5 March 2010. The share price decreased after EADS announced a more
conservative than expected EBIT* outlook for 2010 and, more generally, as markets
became unsettled by sovereign debt issues. After retreating to € 13.56 on 7May 2010
the EADS stock rebounded, however, driven by positive market data. The weakening
euro, which fell below US$ 1.20 on 6 June supported the advance, as did the
announcement of new aircraft orders, in particular the Emirates order for 32A380.
A conservative EBIT* outlook for 2011, announced in November 2010 with the nine
months results, caused the share price to dip back to € 16.68 on 23 November.
InDecember, the share began to recover again in a strong commercial environment.
On 31 December 2010, the EADS share price closed at € 17.44, having gained 23.82%
over the year. During the same period the CAC 40 fell -3.34%.
