Conventum – Alluvium Global Fund stated the following regarding Ryanair Holdings plc (NASDAQ:RYAAY) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:
“Ryanair Holdings plc (NASDAQ:RYAAY) (down 22.3%) released solid full year results, generally in-line with expectations. The only negative was the continued Boeing delivery delays (impacting passenger growth forecasts). To the positive, demand remains strong, the Pratt & Whitney engine issue continues to affect competitors, and industry consolidation is helping fare momentum. Ryanair has grown capacity by 36% since the pandemic, whereas almost all competitors are at lower levels. Management has demonstrated confidence with the EUR 700m buyback and the dividend being declared. There was no need for us to revise our assumptions, so our view of maintainable earnings and valuation are unchanged. As the share price fell further below our valuation, we took the opportunity to increase our holding which now stands at 4.6% of the Fund.”
