Airline company Air France KLM-SA operates a passenger transportation business. Additionally, it engages in freight, aviation repair, and other operations associated with air travel, such as catering. Flying Blue is a frequent flyer program that members of the Company's two sub-groups, Air France and KLM, may use to accrue points when they travel with airline partners or transact with non-airline partners. Transportation of people and goods, maintenance, and other operations are some of its activities.
The hubs at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam-Schiphol serve as the foundation of the company's network. With these two hubs, the Company connects Europe to the rest of the globe, with over 320 destinations in more than 115 nations. The subsidiary of the company, Transavia, serves medium-distance leisure travelers via its charter flights and tour operators as well as activities in the Netherlands and France.
Air France (AIRF) has a market cap of 3.38 billion EUR and has been on the market since 1995.
The stock price of this aviation company has been turbulent in the first two decades of its life, where we could see gains (and also losses) of multiple hundreds of percent. However, in the last five years (before 2022), the price steadily declined to its all-time lows.
Even though the financials are better than last year, the price does not seem to be recovering, except for minor corrections. If you bought AIRF a year ago, you would be seeing loss of around 45%. At the time of writing (2022) the company had quite the sideways trend with a steady price range even with the Fed’s ultra-loose monetary policy and the global COVID-19 pandemic. Travel lockdowns caused turbulent times on the aviation stock market where multiple airlines had to close their business.
Air France’s stock has been hit hard in May as company-wide strikes sunk the price to less than half. The sideways trend continues.
More than 100 stocks of the world’s most renowned companies in your MT4 platform; low spreads, and lightning-fast execution. That’s what trading CFD stocks with Purple Trading is all about.
To start your Air France CFDs trading, first, you need to locate the ticker AIRF on our Purple Trading MetaTrader 4 platform. To open a trade, either double-click or press the new order button, and the following window will pop up.
When you open our MetaTrader 4 platform and click on the AIRF ticker, you'll observe that the minimal volume for trading Air France CFDs is one lot (1.0). If you trade one lot, you will gain or lose 1 EUR for each 1 EUR the stock makes as you are buying at a 1:1 ratio (1 lot equals 1 share). For example, you buy 5 lots at 1 EUR, and AIRF goes to 2 EUR. Your total profit will be 5 EUR (calculated as 1 EUR (100 cents) movement * number of lots/shares per the move). The same logic applies to calculating your profit or loss when entering a short position.
Keep in mind that AIRF is quoted in EUR, therefore if your account is in USD or another currency, your profit or loss must be converted to USD at the current exchange rate.
You can trade at the current market price (market execution) or utilize pending orders, (limit and stop orders). You can initiate the trade without the stop-loss and take-profit orders now and add them afterward.
