<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Ryanair Hldgs's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Ryanair Hldgs's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.31%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Shares of travel-related companies are trading lower amid market weakness and investor concerns about tariff risks, which may reduce spending towards tourism.

Ryanair shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 financial results.

Ryanair Holdings plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYAAY#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>) stock is trading higher after it reported its <a target="_blank" href="https://investor.ryanair.com/results-centre/q3-fy25-results/" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter 2025 results</a>.
RYAAY reported revenue growth of 10% year-over-year to 2.96 billion euros ($3.158 billion, beating the $2.937 billion estimate).
Quarterly earnings of&nbsp;$0.30&nbsp;per ADS beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$0.08.
Scheduled revenues gained 10% YoY to 1.92 billion euros as traffic increase drove revenue increase and higher average fares (+1%), boosted by strong holiday bookings and easier prior-year comparisons despite Boeing delays.
Ancillary revenues grew 10% to 1.04 billion euros for the quarter, and operating costs increased by 8% to 2.93 billion euros.
For the fourth quarter, ~85% of fuel is hedged at $80/bbl, and over 75% of FY26 fuel is hedged at $77/bbl, mitigating the exposure to fuel price fluctuations.
Ryanair&#8217;s balance sheet includes 2.77 billion euros in cash, and the B737 fleet (582 aircraft) is fully unencumbered, which widens cost advantage over competitor airlines. Net cash inflow from operating activities for the nine months ended December 31 stood at 1.095 billion euros, down from 1.285 billion euros a year ago.
As of December 31, Ryanair&#8217;s fleet included 172 B737-8200 &#8220;Gamechangers&#8221; out of 609 aircraft. Boeing delays have forced&nbsp;the company to revise the FY26 traffic growth forecast to 206 million passengers (3% growth) from 210 million.
Ryanair expects the remaining 29 Gamechangers in its order book&nbsp;by March 2026 and anticipates receiving 15 MAX-10s, pending certification, in Spring 2027.
The company stated that its 800 million euro buyback program is on track for mid-2025, with an interim dividend of 0.223 euro per share set for February.
Ryanair expects European short-haul capacity to remain tight in 2025 due to engine repairs, delivery delays, and airline consolidation. However, its cost advantage, strong balance sheet, and fleet expansion position it to reach 300 million passengers over the next decade.
2025 Outlook: The company stated that FY25 traffic is expected to reach nearly 200 million passengers (+9%), contingent on no further<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance"> Boeing delivery delays.</a>
Unit costs remain stable, with fuel hedge savings and interest income offsetting cost inflation from crew pay, handling fees, and Boeing delays.
RYAAY expects FY25 PAT to be between 1.55 billion euros and 1.61 billion euros, depending on external factors like geopolitical conflicts, ATC issues, and Boeing deliveries.
Price Action: RYAAY shares are trading higher by 2.56% at $47.32 premarket at the last check Monday.

Ryanair Q3 Revenue Surges 10% Despite Boeing Delays, Revises FY26 Traffic Growth Forecast

Ryanair Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYAAY#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $0.30 per ADS which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $0.08 by 275 percent. This is a 900 percent increase over earnings of $0.03 per ADS from the same period last year. The company reported quarterly sales of $3.158 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $2.937 billion by 7.53 percent. This is a 8.71 percent increase over sales of $2.905 billion the same period last year.

Earnings Beats

CORRECTION: Ryanair Q3 2025 GAAP EPADS $0.30 Beats $0.08 Estimate, Sales $3.158B Beat $2.937B Estimate

OUTLOOK&nbsp;
We expect FY25 traffic to reach almost 200m (+9%) guests, subject to no further adverse news on Boeing delivery delays. Unit costs are performing in line with expectations, as the cost gap between Ryanair and EU competitor airlines widens, and should be broadly flat for the full-year. Our fuel hedge savings, strong interest income and some modest aircraft delay compensation are largely offsetting ex-fuel cost inflation (particularly crew pay &amp; productivity increases, higher handling &amp; ATC fees and the cost inefficiency of repeated B737 delivery delays). While Q3 fares were marginally stronger than the prior year (which was impacted by the OTA boycott in late Nov. 2023), this year's Q4 will not benefit from last year's early Easter, which makes our Q4 PY comp. very challenging. At this stage, we are cautiously guiding FY25 PAT in a range of €1.55bn to €1.61bn. The final FY25 PAT outcome remains subject to avoiding adverse external developments between now and the end of Mar., incl. the risk of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, further Boeing delivery delays and ATC mismanagement/short-staffing here in Europe."

Ryanair Provides FY25 Guidance: Projects 9% Passenger Growth To Nearly 200M Guests And PAT Between €1.55B And €1.61B Amid Operational Challenges
