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%.

    • EAGLE-EYED traders/Investors would of without DOUBT noticed from the Mars/Jupiter 360 Heliocentric CHART above - a peculiar curiosity - applies to the SP500 only* for those that failed to notice that curiosity, here it is: There's ALWAYS some sort of sharp "plunge" around the time cycle This "plunge" and rally since 2000 has a hit/win rate of 89% In the months that follow, the "plunge" is NEARLY ALWAYS 100% fully RETRACED - do you think you could make money from that knowledge? Do you think options would be priced correctly at those lows? course they wouldn't, you could buy seriously cheap options out of the money at the lows or near the lows, knowing in the weeks/months to come price is heading back up to the plunge high! The only exception is 2000 - bigger knowledge of the overall 18 year cycle at work and the expectation that the bull market should top out  would of alerted you to the fact that the high of the cycle should of been in and to be followed by a 3 year bear market - BUT, you still got a plunge then a rally that nearly made it, but we'll class it as a fail for the sake of the % win rate above, technically, a plunge followed by rally happened, so if you accept that, then there's a 100% win rate covering 23 years Those with sharp eyes will see that the "form" isn't always exact - so you need to bear that in mind  - I'll let you work out how you approach the formation Couple of things to remember though is this: Unless the overall general market 18 year cycle is due to top, then the plunges are ALWAYS 100% GUARANTEED retraced That MEANS, that in the weeks or months that follow the plunge HIGH will be exceeded If you read this thread from post 1, you will notice a couple of numpties who said nothing in trading is guaranteed or certain - well as I said to them back then, there are a couple of certainties in the markets, if you look properly for them - they obviously had their eyes firmly shut! *This post is for the SP500 Index only - you MUST run the cycle on other markets to see if it impacts those markets or not, as not all cycles work to the same effect if you change the market - for example, the WHEAT market works off different cycles to those on the stock market - you must do your research Look at the cycle date near the 2002 low, it took 24 months ish to retrace, it retraced though! The reason it took so long was that other bigger cycle factors were at play at that time, namely the cycles that caused the end of the 3 year bear market crash and they HAD to end and form the 2003 low before the plunge retracement could complete, So when this M/J 360H cycle arrives at or around other larger cycle dates, you need to know and understand to allow time for the plunge retracement to complete - anyway you should get the idea Remember the overall 18 year cycle is UP until 2034 - this also MEANS that all corrections that the markets make will be RETRACED in full all the way up until 2034 THT 
    • As a crypto trader mastering the art of trade is quite a torturous journey; one that comes with patience and perseverance especially with the changes in regulatory requirements. As you know crypto trading requires a trader to carefully choose a secure and reputable exchange, one that can provide instructive charts that contains basic TA tools (those you can primarily find on Binance and Bitget)

Expectations of a potential turn lower back towards 7200 and further down have been cancelled out, with the index now targeting 7500 and 7650 to the upside. Source: ProRealTime DAX Thursday saw the index recoup lost ground and make a new record high, and with this now achieved bullish momentum will likely carry the price to fresh highs. There is still no sign of a pullback, and with the index at a new higher high even a drop back towards 15,800 would still be more of a potential buying opportunity.

Declines continue to target 4550 as an initial area of support. A recovery back above 4675 could easily see the buyers take control once again. Source: ProRealTime
