Ryanair shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 financial results.

Ryanair Holdings plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYAAY#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>) stock is trading higher after it reported its <a target="_blank" href="https://investor.ryanair.com/results-centre/q3-fy25-results/" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter 2025 results</a>.
RYAAY reported revenue growth of 10% year-over-year to 2.96 billion euros ($3.158 billion, beating the $2.937 billion estimate).
Quarterly earnings of&nbsp;$0.30&nbsp;per ADS beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$0.08.
Scheduled revenues gained 10% YoY to 1.92 billion euros as traffic increase drove revenue increase and higher average fares (+1%), boosted by strong holiday bookings and easier prior-year comparisons despite Boeing delays.
Ancillary revenues grew 10% to 1.04 billion euros for the quarter, and operating costs increased by 8% to 2.93 billion euros.
For the fourth quarter, ~85% of fuel is hedged at $80/bbl, and over 75% of FY26 fuel is hedged at $77/bbl, mitigating the exposure to fuel price fluctuations.
Ryanair&#8217;s balance sheet includes 2.77 billion euros in cash, and the B737 fleet (582 aircraft) is fully unencumbered, which widens cost advantage over competitor airlines. Net cash inflow from operating activities for the nine months ended December 31 stood at 1.095 billion euros, down from 1.285 billion euros a year ago.
As of December 31, Ryanair&#8217;s fleet included 172 B737-8200 &#8220;Gamechangers&#8221; out of 609 aircraft. Boeing delays have forced&nbsp;the company to revise the FY26 traffic growth forecast to 206 million passengers (3% growth) from 210 million.
Ryanair expects the remaining 29 Gamechangers in its order book&nbsp;by March 2026 and anticipates receiving 15 MAX-10s, pending certification, in Spring 2027.
The company stated that its 800 million euro buyback program is on track for mid-2025, with an interim dividend of 0.223 euro per share set for February.
Ryanair expects European short-haul capacity to remain tight in 2025 due to engine repairs, delivery delays, and airline consolidation. However, its cost advantage, strong balance sheet, and fleet expansion position it to reach 300 million passengers over the next decade.
2025 Outlook: The company stated that FY25 traffic is expected to reach nearly 200 million passengers (+9%), contingent on no further<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance"> Boeing delivery delays.</a>
Unit costs remain stable, with fuel hedge savings and interest income offsetting cost inflation from crew pay, handling fees, and Boeing delays.
RYAAY expects FY25 PAT to be between 1.55 billion euros and 1.61 billion euros, depending on external factors like geopolitical conflicts, ATC issues, and Boeing deliveries.
Price Action: RYAAY shares are trading higher by 2.56% at $47.32 premarket at the last check Monday.

Ryanair Q3 Revenue Surges 10% Despite Boeing Delays, Revises FY26 Traffic Growth Forecast

Ryanair Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYAAY#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $0.30 per ADS which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $0.08 by 275 percent. This is a 900 percent increase over earnings of $0.03 per ADS from the same period last year. The company reported quarterly sales of $3.158 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $2.937 billion by 7.53 percent. This is a 8.71 percent increase over sales of $2.905 billion the same period last year.

Earnings Beats

CORRECTION: Ryanair Q3 2025 GAAP EPADS $0.30 Beats $0.08 Estimate, Sales $3.158B Beat $2.937B Estimate

OUTLOOK&nbsp;
We expect FY25 traffic to reach almost 200m (+9%) guests, subject to no further adverse news on Boeing delivery delays. Unit costs are performing in line with expectations, as the cost gap between Ryanair and EU competitor airlines widens, and should be broadly flat for the full-year. Our fuel hedge savings, strong interest income and some modest aircraft delay compensation are largely offsetting ex-fuel cost inflation (particularly crew pay &amp; productivity increases, higher handling &amp; ATC fees and the cost inefficiency of repeated B737 delivery delays). While Q3 fares were marginally stronger than the prior year (which was impacted by the OTA boycott in late Nov. 2023), this year's Q4 will not benefit from last year's early Easter, which makes our Q4 PY comp. very challenging. At this stage, we are cautiously guiding FY25 PAT in a range of €1.55bn to €1.61bn. The final FY25 PAT outcome remains subject to avoiding adverse external developments between now and the end of Mar., incl. the risk of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, further Boeing delivery delays and ATC mismanagement/short-staffing here in Europe."

Ryanair Provides FY25 Guidance: Projects 9% Passenger Growth To Nearly 200M Guests And PAT Between €1.55B And €1.61B Amid Operational Challenges

Editor&#8217;s Note: The article has been updated with comments from Ryan Air 
A RyanAir Holdings plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYAAY#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>) flight en route from Riga to Vienna had to divert reportedly due to interference with its GPS signal over Poland.
What Happened: A&nbsp;RyanAir&nbsp;flight from Riga to Vienna was forced to divert due to GPS signal interference over Poland, as <a href="https://www.diepresse.com/19215484/ryanair-flug-kann-wegen-gestoerter-gps-signale-nicht-in-wien-landen?ref=ues_a">reported</a> by&nbsp;Die Presse&nbsp;on Tuesday. The flight, identified as FR 748,&nbsp;attempted to land in Vienna&nbsp;twice but was unsuccessful.
The captain of the Airbus A320 announced minor technical issues, causing unrest among passengers. Eventually, the aircraft landed safely in Brno, Czech Republic, where the captain explained that the GPS disruption was linked to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, a frequent occurrence in the region.

Due to poor visibility, a safe landing in Vienna was not possible without precise positioning, as reported by Die Presse. The weather conditions in Brno were more favorable, allowing for a safe landing, which was met with applause from relieved passengers.
However, the technical issue could not be resolved at Brno airport, necessitating the transport of passengers to Vienna by bus.
&#8220;Flight FR748 from Riga to Vienna yesterday Mon 30 Dec diverted to Bruno due to a minor tech issue with the GPS system combined with low visibility (fog) at Vienna. The aircraft landed normally at Bruno at 22.52 local, where there was no issue with visibility, and passengers were transported by coach to Vienna. We sincerely apologise to passengers for any inconvenience caused as a result of this diversion,&#8221; a spokesperson from Ryan Air told Benzinga. 
Airbus has yet to respond to Benzinga&#8217;s queries.
Why It Matters: The incident involving RyanAir&#8217;s flight FR 748 comes just days after an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42714362/azerbaijan-airlines-flight-hit-by-external-interference-over-russia-before-fatal-crash">Azerbaijan Airlines flight</a>&nbsp;experienced &#8220;external interference&#8221; over Russia, leading to a fatal crash in Kazakhstan. The aircraft, a Brazilian-made Embraer 190, was diverted due to damage sustained during the flight, resulting in 38 casualties. Passengers reported hearing blasts, raising concerns about regional air defense systems.
Additionally, another tragic incident occurred at South Korea&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/12/42715729/tragic-plane-crash-at-s-koreas-muan-international-airport-181-on-board">Muan International Airport</a>, where a Jeju Air flight crashed during landing, killing several passengers. The B737-800 aircraft collided with the airport's outer runway wall, causing the plane to break apart and subsequently catch fire. The plane was carrying a total of 175 passengers and six crew members.

Days After Two Fatal Crashes, Ryanair Flight To Vienna Diverted Due To Reported GPS Jamming Over Poland (UPDATED)

JOBY

Shares of airline companies are trading higher amid possibly in sympathy with American Airlines after the company issued Q4 adjusted EPS guidance above estimates.

Last week was the 13F filings deadline at the SEC.
All stripes of money managers, from freshly minted mutual fund managers to hedge fund pros and patrician blue blood family offices, must send the Securities and Exchange Commission a list of every stock they owned at the end of the third quarter.
A simple comparison of this quarter&#8217;s filing to the last one shows what the best and brightest of Wall Street have been buying and selling recently.
The financial media and instant experts of the Internet have been all over the place in the last week, telling us what Warren Buffett, Cathie Wood, Michael Burry, Bill Ackman, and many other celebrity investors have been doing with their money recently.
It is undoubtedly a fun topic and occasionally interesting, but knowing what multi-gazillionaires are doing with their cash is not very useful for those of us still working to cobble together the first billion.
One of the most critical pieces of information from the quarterly filings is that most people who get paid to manage America&#8217;s money are mediocre at best.
What most do not realize is that this mediocrity is mostly intentional.
To be great, you must be different.
As Sir John Templeton pointed out, you cannot be great if you do what everyone else does.
Being different on Wall Street can get you fired.
Being a portfolio manager is a perfect job.
The easiest way to keep that job is to do what everybody else is doing.
That way, if something goes wrong, it is the market&#8217;s fault.
If you try to be great and something goes wrong, it is your fault.
The unemployment line beckons.
The trick to making money from the acts of idea piracy I perform every quarter is to dig deep and find those investors who dare to be different and are not managing so much money that mediocre is the best they can achieve.
One of the finest examples of that small handful of investors worthy of being raided is Glenn Greenberg of Brave Warriors Advisors.
The tale of Glenn Greenberg&#8217;s investing career is not a rags-to-riches tale by any stretch of the imagination.
His mother was the great-granddaughter of the founder of the Gimbels chain of department stores in New York.
While Gimbels closed in 1986, it was a major player in the retail industry for 144 years and is best known today (especially this time of year) for its role in &#8220;A Miracle on 34th Street.&#8221;
His father is Hall of Fame slugger Hank Greenberg, one of the greatest power hitters of all time. He helped lead the Detroit Tigers to two World Series titles.
Like many of the best investors, Glenn Greenberg did not take a traditional route to Wall Street. He got a degree in English from Yale University and followed that with a Master of Arts in Literature from New York University.
Then he went to Columbia and procured an MBA.
After completing his MBA in 1971, Greenberg joined Morgan Guaranty Trust&#8217;s Pension group as an analyst and portfolio manager, where he worked for five years. In 1978, he moved to Central-National Gottesman, collaborating with Arthur Ross and Edgar Wachenheim, two successful off-the-radar screen investors.
In 1984, Greenberg went out on his own with Chieftain Capital until 2010 when he outperformed the S&amp;P 500 by 50% annually.
He and his partner parted company, and Greenberg founded Brave Warrior Advisors.
The outperformance has continued at Brave Warrior as Greenberg has outperformed the indexes by a wide margin.
Greenberg uses a value-oriented philosophy and takes a handful of positions in companies he considers excellent businesses that can be purchased at attractive prices.
Like most fund managers, Greenberg holds stocks for years, not just months.
Idea pirates who owned the top ten stocks in the Brave Warrior Portfolio have done very well.
Greenberg was only adding shares of a handful of his holdings in the past quarter.
The largest addition was a new position in Ryanair Holdings (Ticker: RYAAY), the Dublin-based discount airline.
Ryanair is known for its high operating efficiency and strong market position. The airline currently offers over 3,600 flights to destinations in 340 cities worldwide.
Ryanair has ambitious growth plans and is targeting a 50% growth in passenger numbers by the end of the decade, supported by its growing fleet of fuel-efficient aircraft.
The airline&#8217;s strong balance sheet will allow it to manage the ebbs and flows of the global economy and air travel.
Coupled with its history of consistent profitability and a shareholder-friendly approach to capital returns, the company&#8217;s growth plans and strong balance sheet create the opportunity for massive long-term gains for patient, aggressive investors.
Brave Warrior was also buying more TD Synnex Corp (Ticker: SNX) shares. Synnex is a leading global distributor and solutions aggregator for the IT ecosystem, with over 150,000 customers in over 100 countries worldwide.
Synnex distributes products from over 2,500 vendors, including many in fast-growing marketplace segments like cloud, cybersecurity, big data/analytics, AI, IoT, mobility, and everything as a service.
Whoever the biggest winner in technology is going forward, there is a good chance Synnex will sell a significant percentage of the gear and equipment needed to reach their goals.
The firm&#8217;s third largest purchase is one of my favorite companies in one of my favorite industries.
We are not done using oil and gas.
We are not even close to being done.
We will need enormous amounts of both, especially natural gas, to fund the future of industry and technology.
It will all move through pipelines, terminals, processing centers, and other infrastructure.
Oil and gas companies will pay a fee to move their products through that infrastructure.
Much of that infrastructure is owned by MPLX (Ticker: MPLX), a publicly traded MLP.
They collect the fees and pay them out to shareholders as dividends.
The shares currently yield right around 7.5%.
The value of the assets they own and the cash they produce should increase over time.
A few years ago, I had a friend tell me they did not want to buy MLPs like MPLX because they hated dealing with K-1 forms at tax time.
Since then, he would have collected more than half the dividend purchase price, and the stock has almost tripled.
It would have been more profitable to pay the accountant.
Stealing ideas from Glenn Greenberg and his team may not be the most exciting thing you have ever done with your portfolio.
There is a good chance it could be the most profitable.

C-Suite Buys of the Week: Airlines and Infrastructure are Heating Up

Ryanair Holdings plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYAAY#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>) reported <a target="_blank" href="https://investor.ryanair.com/results-centre/h1-fy25-results/" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter </a>revenue growth of 3% YoY to €5.07 billion ($5.57 billion, beating the $5.55 billion estimate). Scheduled revenues gained 1% YoY to €3.62 billion, with a 7% decrease in average fares to 61 euros.
Traffic rose 9% to 115 million despite Boeing delays, while ancillary revenues grew 10% to 2.74 billion euros for the six months ended September 30.
Ryanair&#8217;s second-quarter EPS stood at 1.285 euros, down from 1.3239 euros a year ago. Operating costs increased 6% year over year to 3.42 billion euros. Net cash inflow from operating activities for the half-year period stood at 1.181 billion euros, down from 1.64 billion euros a year ago.
As of September 30, gross cash exceeded 3.3 billion euros and net cash stood at 0.6 billion euros, with 170x B737 &#8220;Gamechangers&#8221; in 608 fleet.
The company&#8217;s fuel needs in the second half of FY25 are 85% hedged at $79/bbl, providing risk protection amid recent price volatility. For FY26, hedging coverage has increased to 75% at $77/bbl, securing modest year-on-year savings.
&#8220;Many customers are switching to Ryanair for our lower air fares. As a result, we are capturing record share gains across most markets. Traffic, despite repeated Boeing delivery delays, grew 9% to 115m while ancillary revenues were resilient, rising 10% to €2.74bn. Operating costs performed well, rising 8% (lagging behind 9% traffic growth) to €6.68bn, as fuel hedge savings offset higher staff and other costs due, in part, to Boeing delivery delays. While modest delay compensation was received in H1 (mainly maintenance credits) this does not offset the substantial impact of a 5m+ passenger shortfall in FY25 due to these delivery delays,&#8221; commented Ryanair Group CEO Michael O&#8217;Leary.
Outlook: Ryanair continues to target to reach 198 million and 200 million passengers in FY25, reflecting an 8% increase, but this goal depends on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">Boeing deliveries staying on schedule.</a>
Full-year unit costs are expected to remain stable as savings from fuel hedges, interest income, and minor compensation for aircraft delays are set to counteract inflationary pressures, including crew wages, handling fees, and air traffic control costs.
Strong demand is projected for the third quarter, with pricing declines moderating, though fare expectations remain cautious. Limited fourth-quarter visibility and challenging comparisons with last year&#8217;s early Easter make it difficult to provide precise FY25 profit guidance.
Price Action: RYAAY shares are trading higher by 0.66% at $45.84 premarket at the last check Monday.

Ryanair Q2: Revenue Climbs, Traffic Surges, But Boeing Delays And Cost Pressures Weigh On Results

We continue to target between 198m and 200m passengers in FY25 (+8%), subject to no worsening of current Boeing delivery delays. Unit costs performed well in H1 as the cost gap between Ryanair and EU competitor airlines continues to widen. We expect full-year unit costs to be broadly flat, as our fuel hedge savings, strong interest income and some modest aircraft delay compensation will largely offset ex-fuel cost inflation (particularly crew pay &amp; productivity increases, higher handling &amp; ATC fees and the cost inefficiency of repeated B737 delivery delays). Forward bookings suggest that Q3 demand is strong and the decline in pricing appears to be moderating. We remain cautious on Q3's ave. fare outlook, expecting them to be modestly lower than Q3 prior year (subject to close-in Christmas and New Year bookings). As is normal at this time of year, we have almost zero Q4 visibility, although this quarter will not benefit from last year's early Easter, which will make the prior year Q4 comps challenging. It therefore remains too early to provide meaningful FY25 PAT guidance. The final FY25 outcome will be subject to avoiding adverse developments during the remaining 5 months of FY25, especially given the risk of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, repeated ATC short-staffing and capacity restrictions, and/or further Boeing delivery delays."

Ryanair Targets 8% Traffic Growth In FY25, Contingent On Boeing Deliveries; Full-Year Unit Costs Expected To Remain Flat; Q3 Fares To Decline Modestly, With Limited Q4 Visibility

Ryanair Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYAAY#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $1.41 per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $5.576 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $5.550 billion by 0.46 percent. This is a 3.99 percent increase over sales of $5.362 billion the same period last year.

Ryanair Holdings Q2 2025 GAAP EPS $1.41, Sales $5.576B Beat $5.550B Estimate

Ryanair Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYAAY#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>) has announced a downward revision of its passenger forecast for fiscal 2026, attributing the change to delays in aircraft deliveries from Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>).
What Happened: Ryanair reported its earnings for the first half of fiscal year 2025 on Monday. The company highlighted that it will be carrying fewer passengers than initially planned for the next fiscal year.
The report noted that, despite these delivery delays, Ryanair&#8217;s traffic increased by 9% to 115 million customers, with ancillary revenues rising by 10% to €2.74 billion ($2.98 billion). However, operating costs also climbed by 8% to €6.68 billion, partly due to the delivery disruptions. Although Ryanair received some compensation via maintenance credits, it was not enough to offset the expected shortfall of over 5 million passengers in fiscal 2025.
Ryanair revealed that nine aircraft deliveries anticipated in the third quarter are now postponed to the fourth quarter due to recent strikes at Boeing. The airline is collaborating with Boeing to expedite deliveries before the peak summer of 2025. Consequently, Ryanair has revised its fiscal 2026 traffic growth target from 215 million to 210 million passengers to mitigate over-scheduling and increased costs.

Why It Matters: The delivery delays stem from a seven-week strike at Boeing, which has significantly impacted the company&#8217;s production capabilities. Boeing recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41676667/boeing-sweetens-deal-with-38-wage-hike-12k-bonus-and-more-to-end-7-week-strike-vote-set-for-mond">proposed a new contract</a> with a 38% wage increase and a $12,000 bonus to end the strike, which involved over 33,000 factory workers on the U.S. West Coast. The workers are set to cast their vote on this new proposal. The strike has disrupted Boeing's cash flow and halted production of key aircraft models.

Boeing Strike Delays Delivery For Ryanair, Airline Says Will Carry 5M Less Passengers In 2026

SKYW

Shares of airline stocks are trading higher amid a drop in the price of oil, which can help decrease costs.

Ryanair shares are trading lower after Reuters reported the company's CEO indicated the company will need to revise town traffic figures next year amid expected Boeing delays.

Reuters Reported Ryanair CEO Said Will Have To Revise Down Traffic Figures Next Year Because Of Expected Boeing Delivery Delays

Shares of airline stocks are trading higher. The industry may be moving on continued strength after recent fears surrounding Hurricane Milton have curbed and fuel costs, which are a major expense for airlines, dropped in price.

Landstar System (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lstr#NASDAQ">LSTR</a>) is benefiting from its robust financial stability and strong liquidity. The shareholder-friendly approach also bodes well for the company. However, the company is grappling with the freight market downturn.
<h2>Factors Favoring LSTR</h2>
Landstar&#39;s commitment to shareholder value is commendable, as the company consistently returns significant capital to its investors through stock repurchase programs and dividends. In the first half of 2024, Landstar repurchased shares of its common stock for a total of $57 million and paid $95 million in dividends. Moreover, in August 2024, LSTR paid a quarterly dividend of $0.36 per share to its stockholders. This quarterly dividend includes a 9% increase to its regular quarterly dividend.
Despite the softness prevailing in the freight environment, the company demonstrates strong financial stability and cash-generating capabilities. By the end of the second quarter of 2024, LSTR reported cash and short-term investments totaling $504 million. For the first half of 2024, cash flow from operations reached $142 million, while cash capital expenditures amounted to $17 million.
The company exited the second quarter of&nbsp;2024 with a current ratio (a&nbsp;measure of liquidity) of 2.17. A current ratio of greater than 1 is always desirable as it indicates that the company has enough cash to meet its short-term obligations.
Shares of LSTR have rallied 4.3% over the past year compared to the&nbsp;industry&#39;s decline of 4.9% in the same period.

<h2>LSTR: Key Risks to Watch </h2>
The company&#39;s prospects are being negatively affected by softness in freight market demand. In the second quarter of 2024, total loadings of machinery dropped by 12% year over year. Similarly, loadings for automotive equipment and parts fell by 1%, while building products and hazardous materials decreased by 1% and 14%, respectively.
Moreover, substitute linehaul loadings, which had been one of the strongest performers during the pandemic and are highly sensitive to consumer demand, decreased by 29% compared to the second quarter of 2023.
As a result, Landstar&#39;s top line is expected to remain weak in the near term. For the third quarter of 2024, the company anticipates a decline in truckloads in the range of 6-10% year over year.
The trucking industry is also grappling with a persistent driver shortage. As seasoned drivers retire, companies struggle to attract new talent, particularly from younger generations, who may not find the profession appealing.
<h2>LSTR&#39;s Zacks Rank</h2>
LSTR currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
<h2>Stocks to Consider</h2>
Some better-ranked stocks for investors&#39; consideration in the Zacks Transportation sector include Ryanair (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ryaay#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cp#NYSE">CP</a>).
Ryanair currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).&nbsp;RYAAY has an expected earnings growth rate of 10% for the current year.
The company has a discouraging earnings surprise history. Its earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters and missed twice, delivering an average miss of 30%. Shares of RYAAY have risen 10.2% in the past year.
Canadian Pacific also sports a Zacks Rank #1 at present and has an expected earnings growth rate of 0.3% for the current year.
The company has an encouraging track record with respect to the earnings surprise, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missing once. The average beat is 2.2%. CP shares have rallied 10.6% in the past year.
