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%.

    • WTI Elliott wave analysis  Function - Counter-trend  Mode - Corrective  Structure - Triple Zigzag  Position - Wave X of triple zigzag Direction - Wave Y of the triple zigzag Details -Double zigzag for wave X entered the Fibonacci support base to find support after marginally surpassing the 80 major level. It may go deeper in the zone but should not exceed the invalidation level 75.49. A reaction upwards is expected from the zone. The US Crude Oil has been shedding prices since April 12, 2024. Since then, the commodity has lost nearly 10% in value. The fall followed a 4-month, 29% rally that started in December 2023. The question is whether the commodity will resume the recovery from December or if all of it will be lost in the coming weeks/months.   The daily chart captures the bearish cycle that retraces the strong impulse rally between the Covid time and the March 2022 peak of the Russia-Ukraine war. This retracement, as shown, is emerging into a double zigzag pattern - labeled W-X-Y (circled in blue) of the primary degree. Price is currently in the last leg - blue wave Y, which is also subdivided into (A)-(B)-(C) zigzag structure of the intermediate degree.   A closer look shows wave (B) is ongoing and has completed a double zigzag. However, one more rally is likely to surface for a triple zigzag. So, we are torn between a double and triple zigzag for (B). One has to be invalidated for the other to be valid. If it’s a double zigzag, the current decline from Y should break the channel downwards and complete an impulse. However, if the current dip completes another corrective structure and price responds sharply upside, a triple zigzag will be favored. Therefore, we need to investigate the current dip on the H4 chart.   The H4 chart shows a double zigzag emerging from wave Y. The commodity should find support between the 79.23 and 76.90 Fibonacci areas and react sharply upside for wave Z to complete a triple zigzag. This is the preferred count. However, if a significant rebound doesn’t happen at the zone and the decline continues below 75.49, we can refer to the drop from Y as an impulse and take wave (B) to have ended at 87.63 with a double zigzag structure.         Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
