Lufthansa is unlikely to exceed its 2026 guidance, but its long-term prospects remain positive, MWB Research analyst Jens-Peter Rieck says in a research note. While higher fuel costs and strike-related disruption are expected to weigh on quarterly earnings, these headwinds are already largely reflected in the share price and should ease over time, Rieck says. The market continues to undervalue Lufthansa's business, particularly the strength of its fleet and maintenance division, and shares offer attractive upside despite near-term cost pressures, he adds. Overall, Lufthansa is expected to prove more resilient than many of its European airline peers, he says. Shares trade 2.1% lower at 9.8 euros. (nina.kienle@wsj.com)
