Deutsche Lufthansa AG stock performance

With a market cap of 6.87 billion EUR, the firm had a negative profit per share (EPS) for the year 2020, and current (2022) projections indicate that this trend is expected to continue until at least 2022 or 2023. If you had bought Lufthansa stock a year ago, you would be looking at around a 6% price drop to date. The 5-year price difference is much more dramatic with an almost 65% price decrease in Lufthansa stock. You can see minor upswings during the summer season as tourism rises.
 
The company's pretax profit margin is either in the low single digits or is even negative. There is no such thing as a dividend for Lufthansa.
 
S&P Global downgraded Lufthansa to junk status (BB-), while Moody's assigned the airline a rating of Ba2.
 
The company has a long-term downtrend with with 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.
 
Lufthansa stock was hit hard in September as the price plummeted by more than 30%. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the stock has had a sideways trend which shows the loss of desire to trade.

Lot value calculation

 

When you open our MetaTrader 4 platform and click on the LHAG ticker, you'll observe that the minimal volume for trading Lufthansa 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 5 EUR each, and LHAG goes to 6 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 LHAG is quoted in EURO, 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.
