Flight Centre Travel Group's (ASX:FLT) fiscal 2026 was a slight miss, impacted by worse-than-expected leisure division data and foreign exchange, RBC Capital Markets said in a Wednesday note.

However, the leisure segment appears to be back with record July total transaction value (TTV) above its pre-COVID-19 peak and the strongest profits since July 2015. Underlying profit before tax was adversely impacted by AU$5 million due to unfavorable foreign exchange translation.

Meanwhile, the corporate division beat expectations in fiscal 2026. In fiscal 2027, the division will see a second half skew due to foreign exchange, front-loaded expansionary costs, and win timing.

The brokerage reaffirmed Flight Centre with an outperform rating and a price target of AU$14.

The travel group's shares tumbled 8% in recent Wednesday trade.
