Ryanair Holdings ( (DE:RY4C) ) has issued an announcement.

Ryanair Holdings has continued executing its existing share buy-back programme, repurchasing for cancellation 6,214 ordinary shares and 493,312 ordinary shares underlying American Depositary Shares between 2 and 6 February 2026. The purchases, made at volume-weighted average prices in euros for ordinary shares and U.S. dollars for ADS-underlying shares, will reduce the company’s share count and are being reported in line with EU market abuse regulations, underscoring its ongoing capital return strategy to shareholders.

These transactions form part of a previously announced buy-back initiative from May 2025, with the airline committing to disclose purchases on a weekly basis as the programme progresses. By cancelling all repurchased shares, Ryanair is effectively concentrating equity among remaining investors, which may enhance earnings per share over time and signals management’s confidence in the company’s financial position and long-term outlook.
