QF, BHP and the other big players stocks always just ride up on the market, they are institutional investor staples, QF would have to announce administration to go backwards in any serious manner outside the normal movement of the ASX. Rex has so few freehold shares that its almost impossible to know if it's new trades or just employees selling stocks for cash all pretty low volumes. I'd say Rex shares are better for the regular fully franked dividends than any price appreciation.
As for profits VA usually made all its profits in the first half, and then slumped into losses in the second due weak demand in Australia post summer holidays through to June, with a small spike in Easter. QF has a slightly broader spectrum with is business custom and loyalties, but follows a similar trend. Regional operations are a bit more stable through out the year, with summer holidays actually being a low point in operations due to waning of commuter traffic.
As for Rex I've heard the marketing tie ups have been awesome for them with long term bookings through the roof, just need more fleet to service it reliably.
