    All over the nation, news of Qantas’ restructuring of Qantas International (QI) has reached ears of many Australians and many have voiced out their concerns on the matter. Qantas International has been the weak link in the operations of Qantas group compared to its domestic, freight, low-cost carrier Jetstar and frequent flyer businesses. Qantas’ new strategy involves expanding its base of operations into the Asian region to capture the market share of a boom in airline activity. With this new strategy, it plans to introduce job- cuts of 1000 employees mainly pilots and engineers.

    Qantas Groups’ performance over the 2007 to 2011 period has been relatively poor mainly as a result of the global financial crisis adversely affecting the firm’s international operations. Strategically, Qantas is likely to continue to dominate the domestic airline industry with the success of Jetstar prompting expansion into the Asia Pacific region. The most significant threats facing Qantas include high fuel prices, the value of the Australian dollar and industrial action. A comprehensive financial analysis reveals that compared to other airlines, Qantas is showing strong signs of recovery despite there being inherent weaknesses in its liquidity. A review of the firm’s annual report revealed the presence of various accounting issues such distortion in its depreciation calculation, however it was determined that they were not significant enough to greatly affect Qantas overall financial position. Overall the firm was found to be in a financially sound position and through the implementation of its “QFuture” program; profitability is expected to continue to improve in following years. An evaluation of the Group’s equity found that the stock price for which Qantas is currently trading is overvalued by $0.50. This is further supported by the fact that over the last year the price of Qantas stocks has been subject to a downward trend suggesting that investors may have already identified the overvaluation. As a result of the findings of our analysis we therefore make a “sell” recommendation for Qantas stock.…
