IAG stock (ES0177542018) is in focus after RBC raised its target to 500 pence from 465 pence on September 16, 2026, while keeping an Overweight rating. The shares closed at 409.7 pence on September 14, 2026, about 2.1 percent below the previous close of 419.7 pence.
RBC lifts the target
According to Bolsamania on September 16, 2026, RBC said IAG's valuation still does not reflect its margin and profitability profile. The same report said the new target is 500 pence, up from 465 pence, with the stock priced at 409.7 pence at the previous London close.
Trading stays below target
Market data on September 16, 2026, put IAG at 408.0 GBX in London trading, with a 4.07 percent move over five days and a 52-week range of 333.1 pence to 492.9 pence. Bolsamania also showed a market capitalization of GBP 18,815.61 million for the London line.
On the latest half-year comparison cited in the market coverage, IAG reported revenue of EUR 14.7 billion and operating profit of EUR 1.9 billion in 1H 2026, both supported by the still current 2026 reporting period. For investors, the margin message matters more than the headline revenue figure.
What investors watch
On September 16, 2026, the stock still traded below RBC's 500 pence target and below the 52-week high of 492.9 pence, leaving room for the valuation debate to stay active. The last quoted close of 409.7 pence versus the prior 419.7 pence shows that the latest session was already softer before the new target hit the tape.
