Article Summary

HOLD
  • Ryanair Holdings plc ADR (NYSE: RYRY) reported a 34% decline in Q1 profit after tax to €538 million, down from €820 million a year earlier, as the Iran war pushed unhedged jet fuel prices above $150 a barrel and prompted travelers to delay bookings, forcing the airline to cut fares.
  • Passenger fares fell 6% year-on-year and total revenue rose just 1% despite a 6% increase in traffic to 61.3 million passengers, while operating costs rose 11% to €3.81 billion, with Ryanair locking in 80% of its fuel requirements at $67 per barrel, but the exposed 20% that trades at market rates more than doubled in cost over three months.
