Irish Airline.

This is the only stock I own that weathered the down turn in the economy and stayed positive.

they are profitable and expanding into the US market.

Europe needs some airlines but not as many as they have. Lots of poorly performing airlines will go to the wall before Christmas and only the strong will survive.

Ryanair have a lots of cash in the bank and the lowest operating costs of any European airline. So they will be able to survive in this downturn, even picking up additional travelers who are attracted by the lower fares. Then they will make a killing by buying up distressed compeditors' slots, staff and planes ready for the upswing.

You always know when a trough in the airline industry has arrived as Michael O'L starts buying planes and enormous discounts!

Let us BUY now. I shall look at its behavior, but I think the nearest target is 25$, the next is 30-35$. I shall SELL somewhere there.

Oil is doing for the Airline Industry - what the Credit Crunch did for Banks.

The weak players are going under, leaving the companies with sound business models to take the pickings.

The price of oil might give Ryanair a cold - break even or reduced profits - but it isn't fatal. The weaker airlines are dropping - Alitalia, XL, Futura all gone.

Ryanair's Michael O'Leary is comfortable with $135 dollar a barrel. Give up 08 profits to wipe out the competition? Absolutely! A bargain in the medium term.

one of a kind franchise. Great investment for value investors looking for a cheap stock with strong management, lots of cash, beating off competition and good balance sheet. It's in a cycle of being coupled inversely to the price of a barrel of oil, namely, fuel costs. As the world's thirst for oil diminishes due to over supply the costs will tumble to $70 to $80 a barrel and the difference will be reflected in a strong bias to the upside. After all, in Europe people do still go on vacations to Spain, the still do business in Paris, and they fly executivesGermany, while tourists take in a week or a weekend in Italy, Dalmation coast and the Alps. A great business plan implemented by a gung-ho team of hands-on folks. This is your classic buy to hold.

Unjustified valuation, negative cash flow. Fuel costs are a killer.

Surging fuel prices kill airline industry. No brainer.

Stock going to $100 in less than 5 years, trading at less than 2 times normalized 2012 earnings.

Airlines are having problems and so is ryanair holdings 6 mnths ago this was at 47.50 and now it is at 25. and there is no sign that the problems with the industry have bottomed out

High P/B makes me uneasy along with the trend to this point this year. But I see this airline making a recovery, maybe not this year but over a longer period of time. The small aircrafts that it owns means that it will be a much lower cost for fuel.

-The business model of this company is very unique and while controversial throughout the E.U., it is changing the airline industry there. The company provides a no frills service in order to cut costs from every corner and charges for basically everything but the actual seat itself. (though customers typically spend around $50 per trip).

The company’s unique strategies:
-By using a single model aircraft, training the staff is much more efficient. Additionally, new aircraft lack seat back recliners, window shades, and seat back pockets which save hundreds of thousands of dollars per aircraft when purchased and even more due to the reduction of weight when flying
-Planes fly into second tier airports where there are low or no landing fees and service is much more efficient since it is less crowded – Ryanair usually gets paid by these airports for brining in passengers to their terminals.
-customers pay for food/beverage and management is hoping to eventually charge for cell phone usage and in flight gambling entertainment
-companies purchase the ability to repaint the exterior of each airplane in, basically turning them into giant billboards
-Its website is Europe’s most popular travel site so Ryanair receives a cut of sales when customers purchase hotels, rental cars, ect on the site.
-Even though the company slashes most of its costs, it actually pays its pilots/stewardess’s higher than industry average salaries

Ryanair outperforms all of its peers by far; producing profit margins of 19.4% compared to the industry average of 3.37% and has the strongest financials in the European airline industry. Some complaints can be found from customers concerning the poor service they received, but what can you expect when you are flying virtually for free. It’s kind of like the Walmart of the airline industry. You aren’t there for the experience; you are there to get a significantly discounted flight. Ryanair’s performance is solid so far and its business structure is revolutionizing the entire industry.

As of close of business on 12/04/2007, this was a 1-star Morningstar stock that was trading at more than double it's Morningstar fair value.

Ryanair Holdings is one of the very few airlines that I find attractive, and mainly so because they are located outside the United States. They have staved off rising fuel costs and provide an interesting alternative niche to expensive air travel. Margins are considerably lower here than most airlines but efficiency is much higher. This leads to one interesting and very important side effect, RYAAY has more cash than debt, something basically no other major airlines can boast about. Earnings are growing solidly, and revenue should be up over 30% this year. I do expect the growth to normalize, but fundamentally this looks fine. Technically I see a cupping base which should send this over $50 within 6 months.

This low-cost European airline has no significant rivals, and should be able to grow their top line by 15%, on average, over the next 5 years. In a commodity business, it pays to be the lowest cost provider, and Ryanair is just this. Europe's tough summer for airlines is but a short term concern.

Cheap flights. Unless you start seeing these planes start falling from the sky, I dont see how they will not continue to gain market share, especially with what they have planned for the future...

"The Ryanair boss, Michael O'Leary, is planning to launch a transatlantic airline offering fares to the US from as little as $12 (£6.10), it emerged today." (http://www.guardian.co.uk/airlines/story/0,,2055608,00.html)

We may have a runner!
