Ryanair Continues Share Buyback With Late-March 2026 Share Cancellations

End of Quarter Sale - 50% Off TipRanks

An announcement from Ryanair Holdings ( (RYAAY) ) is now available.

Ryanair Holdings plc disclosed that between 23 March 2026 and 27 March 2026 it repurchased for cancellation 10,000 ordinary shares and 574,560 ordinary shares underlying its American Depositary Shares. The transactions, executed at volume-weighted average prices around €24–€25 in Europe and about $30 in the U.S., form part of a previously announced share buy-back programme, signalling ongoing capital returns to shareholders and a tightening of the company’s share base.

All repurchased shares will be cancelled, marginally reducing Ryanair’s outstanding equity and potentially enhancing earnings per share over time. The company reiterated that purchases under the buy-back programme, launched in May 2025, will continue to be reported weekly, underscoring a structured approach to balance-sheet management and shareholder remuneration within the competitive European airline sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (RYAAY) stock is a Buy with a $66.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ryanair Holdings stock, see the RYAAY Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on RYAAY Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, RYAAY is a Outperform.

The score is driven mainly by strong financial profitability and an improved balance sheet, supported by constructive guidance and shareholder returns from the latest earnings call. The key offsets are weaker recent free-cash-flow conversion and softer near-term technical momentum, while valuation appears reasonable.
