The share price of Ryanair continued to rise this year. It reached its highest ever level and its market capitalization reached over $38 billion. This makes it the largest airline group in the world.
This year, it has risen by 60 % and is 202% higher than its previous low during the pandemic. The US Global Jets ETF, which tracks the largest companies in the aviation industry, has risen by 14%.
Ryanair’s revenue growth and cost discipline
Ryanair has been a leader in low-cost aviation for the last few months. Its business is booming and costs are decreasing. The company did better than similar firms like EasyJet or Southwest.
Recent results show that 61.2 millions passengers were carried by the airline in the second half of this year. This is an increase of 2% over 59.8. In the first half of the year, the company carried 119.3 million passengers compared to 115.3 millions in the previous period.
Ryanair’s load factor continues to rise, and the average fare has increased from EUR61million in the second half of last year to EUR65million in the third quarter.
The company increased its revenue to EUR5,48 billion, up from EUR5,07 billion during the same period last year. The revenue for the first six months also increased by 13%, to EUR9.82billion.
Ryanair Revenue Growth and Guidance
Ryanair’s revenues grew at a slower pace than its costs, which increased by only 1%. The airline also increased 91 routes despite its increasing problems with Boeing deliveries.
The company’s announcement of a massive share purchase and its solid credit rating are the most important. The company’s credit rating is BBB+ and its gross cash amount of EUR3 billion helped to fund a EUR750m share buyback. Davy’s top analyst noted the following in a recent note:
It has a single focus, a well-established business model, a management team with years of experience, and is driven by the desire to have the lowest costs and perhaps the strongest balance sheets.
Ryanair also increased its guidance, as Boeing improved their deliveries. This trend may continue into the next year. It has indeed raised its passenger forecast for the entire year, ending March.
Other factors have contributed to the rise in share prices of Ryanair this year. It allowed non-EU citizens to hold shares. Investors who owned its American ADRs were incentivized by the company to purchase its regular shows.
