Ryanair appears to be at the more cautious end of the industry spectrum on the short-term outlook for this summer. However, its suggestion that industry capacity growth could remain constrained through to 2030 are very bullish on the long term. We have raised our forecasts slightly, keeping us consistent with management’s guidance. Our recommendation remains BUY and we increase our target price to €20.5 from €19, still based on a calendarised 2023E EV/IC / ROIC/WACC of 1.0x, in line with fair va...
A clear return to profitability with FY results at the top end of management’s guidance range, 2% ahead of consensus. Net cash on the balance sheet was a surprise, a year ahead of target. FY guidance (modest profit growth) is more cautious than current consensus, although summer 2023 demand remains robust with fares tracking higher than last year. Our recommendation remains BUY with an unchanged target price of €19.
We still see headroom for the airline earnings recovery to continue. Demand is proving resilient, despite a weak macro outlook. Capacity on European routes looks restrained relative to other regions. Discipline is being enforced by constraints on new aircraft deliveries. Weaker fuel prices are supportive of earnings estimates. We retain BUY recommendations on IAG (TP 350p), easyJet (TP 690p from 650p) and Ryanair (TP €19 from €17).
The strong Q3 figures were driven by resilient demand as previously flagged and were marginally ahead of expectations. Positive sentiment may be moderated by the FX gain that flattered the figures. However, this should not detract from the underlying strength and management appears optimistic about summer bookings. Our recommendation remains BUY with an unchanged target price of €17 (calendarised 2023E EV/IC / ROIC/WACC 1.0x).
The airline industry is in the early stages of recovery from the pandemic. Positives are relatively careful capacity growth plans, stabilising jet fuel prices and encouraging forward booking commentary. However, macro indicators are deteriorating. We see headroom for the demand/supply balance to remain favourable with capacity mostly still below 2019 levels. We increase our target prices on easyJet (500p from 430p), IAG (220p from 145p) and Ryanair (€17 from €16) and retain our BUY recommendatio...
​Ryanair Holdings PLC provides low fare passenger airline services to destinations in Europe. It is an Irish low-cost airline founded in 1984, headquartered in Swords, Dublin, Ireland, with its primary operational bases at Dublin and London Stansted airports. In 2016, Ryanair was the largest European airline by scheduled passengers flown, and carried more international passengers than any other airline. We divide our report in 3 sectors:- Ratio summary- Peer group confrontation- Next 90/180 da...
Ryanair’s EPS growth is poised to accelerate on the back of a big expansion in capacity over the next five years, and a drive to increase load factors. We forecast its unit costs to remain low, which means that it should be able to continue to substantially undercut the rest of the industry on price. It has been improving its digital offering, become more flexible with passengers, and is introducing a new business product, which should help to drive traffic. Our forecasts for FY16 and FY17 are...
