EasyJet soars as Britons flee freezing weather

Three of this year’s best performing stocks — easyJet, Booker, and Domino’s Pizza — will post updates this week in what should be a quiet post-Easter period for corporate news.

Fuller planes of passengers fleeing Britain’s freezing weather are expected to boost figures from budget airline easyJet when it updates on trading on Friday.

The group — which recently entered the FTSE 100 Index — is expected to report good momentum, with analysts at Numis Securities forecasting a “positive pricing environment”.
