Tap here. Ryanair just printed the biggest annual profit in its history, but investors are still dumping the stock. The budget carrier posted a record pre-exceptional profit of €2.26 billion (about $2.6 billion), up a staggering 40% year on year, thanks to a relentless surge in passenger numbers and double-digit fare hikes.
But instead of taking a victory lap, CEO Michael O’Leary refused to give Wall Street a full-year profit forecast for 2027, sending shares down 3% as fuel price volatility and Middle East tensions cloud the summer horizon. WHAT HAPPENED The headline numbers from Ryanair’s fiscal 2026 report were objectively spectacular. Total revenue climbed 11% to €15.54 billion, powered by a 4% increase in passengers to a massive 208.4 million.
