RYAAY

Ryanair has announced a follow-on buyback of up to €800M and expects to complete its current €700M share buyback by the end of August. The company will seek shareholder approval to increase its annual buyback authority to 15% of issued share capital. Improved cashflows are attributed to strong traffic growth and Boeing delivery delays. Ryanair faces no new aircraft deliveries from mid-2025 to mid-2027 and expects a short-term cashflow boost from a temporary cut in aircraft capex.
