(News Bulletin 247) – Stifel remains Buy on the Ryanair share with a price target of 18E.

“Yields increased by +10% compared to pre-pandemic levels, while non-fuel unit costs remained stable compared to pre-pandemic levels”, notes the analyst.

The summer season and the ‘robust’ bookings announced by Ryanair confirms the broker who notes that on this basis, ‘the company expects a modest increase in net profit for the financial year 24 (cons.: stable; SFe: 1, 62 billion euros, i.e. +13% year-on-year)’.

Given this ‘rather cautious approach by the company to forecasts, and a €1 billion year-over-year effect on fuel costs’, Stifel considers this to be ‘a first constructive perspective for the 24’ exercise.
