Qantas Airways has maintained stable share performance throughout 2026 despite earlier volatility. The company reported a 5% increase in underlying profit before tax to $1.46 billion for the first half of fiscal year 2026.

Growth has been driven by diversified revenue streams, including a 12% increase in underlying EBIT from Jetstar and significant contributions from the Qantas Loyalty division. Moving forward, the airline intends to focus on fleet renewal to improve fuel efficiency and lower operating costs.
