Ryanair bucks the trend

It's tough for airlines post-Covid and into the economic downturn we're seeing at the moment, as we see many of them fail to regain the ground that we saw pre-Covid.

Not so for Ryanair. It's posted its largest ever after-tax profit for the first half (H1) of this financial year. Europe's largest airline by passenger numbers earned €1.37 billion in the period a record. Ryanair said it was hopeful it could deliver an after-tax profit of between €1bn and €1.2bn for the year through to the end of March.

Significantly, the numbers are better than they were pre-pandemic, and the question is, how has it done it? Well, fares are higher by a margin of 7% than they were in the pre-Covid 2020 financial year.

Share price chart

Let's take a look at the chart. We can see clearly on the Irish Exchange where it trades it's currently trading at 1271.

Now, this is up over 3% on the session today and at levels at the moment now, not seen since the 13th of September. It has nonetheless been difficult for shareholders after the highs we saw up to €18.40 trading at 1271.

The increase in numbers over the half-year would have been higher. But with the invasion of Ukraine according to Ryanair ticket take up was up 14% in the second half of the year, which is offset by lower first quarter fares. So the company is doing the best it can in the circumstances.

We'll have to see how things develop further on this, whether or not we see any further gains. But at the moment, at least, we're trading up on the session by a margin of over 3%.

    • Stumbled onto $weETH recently, and it’s got me thinking. It’s more than just staking ETH for rewards weETH also restakes automatically in EigenLayer, so you’re maximizing yield without extra effort. What really caught my eye, though, is how they’ve designed it to keep everything in your control with non-custodial staking.  Add in some perks like loyalty points and compatibility with DeFi protocols on Arbitrum and Polygon, and it’s set up to go beyond the usual staking.  Anyone else looking at $weETH? Worth it, or just another token in the mix?
    • In a strategic move to further solidify its position in the global cryptocurrency market, Bitget, a leading CEX, has made a significant move by appointing Min Lin as its new Chief Business Officer. With a history of leadership at Binance and Goldman Sachs, Lin brings over a decade of expertise to Bitget's ambitious expansion in Latin America. His unique blend of traditional finance and blockchain experience positions him to navigate the complex market dynamics in the region.  Bitget's CEO, Gracy Chen, believes Lin’s expertise is crucial for their strategic vision. “Min’s track record in scaling cryptocurrency businesses aligns seamlessly with our growth goals,” says Chen. In his new role, Lin emphasizes his commitment to innovation and user-focused products. He aims to promote wider acceptance of blockchain technology while tailoring solutions to meet the unique needs of Latin American users. This move underscores Bitget’s commitment to emerging markets. With a 98% increase in active users in Latin America in 2024, the potential for growth is evident. The question remains: how will this move influence the competitive landscape in Latin America?
    • Exchange tokens are a good alternative investment. Unlike regular coins, they provide access to exclusive privileges, including: -Deduction of trading fees, whether in spot or futures trading -Participation in airdrop campaigns, such as Launchpool, Launchpad, PoolX, and others The benefits of holding an exchange token cannot be overstated, yet many users are still unaware of these advantages.  I currently hold some MX, BGB, BNB, and KCS in my portfolio, though I initially knew little about the privileges associated with them. After joining this Bitget online community, I was able to connect with other BGB holders, interact with them, and discover a lot more. The minimum requirement is 100 BGB to gain access to the community, and there's an ongoing campaign with a range of merchandise giveaways. We could take advantage of this campaign as we’re now in Moonvember if you’re holding more than the minimum required amount. I’m not a financial advisor, so always DYOR.
