Airbus shares surged more than 7% on Wednesday after the European aerospace giant unveiled a €5 billion ($5.7 billion) share buyback programme and laid out ambitious medium-term financial targets, reinforcing investor confidence that easing supply-chain constraints and sustained demand for commercial and military aircraft will drive the company's next phase of growth. The announcement came alongside a new profitability roadmap under which Airbus expects adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), its preferred gauge of profitability, to rise to between €12 billion and €13 billion by 2029, almost double last year's €7.13 billion and well ahead of its existing 2026 target of €7.5 billion.
The stock gained more than 7% after the group said it aimed to significantly boost its profitability in the coming years, betting demand will remain strong.
