0830 GMT - International Consolidated Airlines--which houses British Airways and Iberia among other carriers--posted record operating profit for 2025, strong cash generation, and lower net debt, Interactive Investor's Richard Hunter says. The strength of IAG's premium cabin offering has more than offset any weakness of demand on economy flights to the U.S., he adds. British Airways continues to deliver the highest returns within the group, Hunter notes. Tough competition and economic pressure remain as potential headwinds, alongside geopolitical concerns, he adds. Shares are up 0.85% at 4.61 pounds. (cristina.gallardo@wsj.com)
