Ryanair Holdings ( (RYAAY) ) has shared an announcement.

On 26 January 2026, U.S.-based investment group The Capital Group Companies, Inc. notified Ryanair Holdings that its aggregate holding of voting rights in the airline had risen above the 14% threshold, reaching 14.10% of the company’s total voting rights, equivalent to 148,063,943 voting rights, all held through shares rather than financial instruments. The move, formally recorded in a regulatory filing on 27 January 2026, reflects increased exposure by Capital Group’s asset management arms—led by Capital Research and Management Company, which now also exceeds 14%—and underscores growing institutional investor interest in Ryanair, potentially reinforcing the airline’s shareholder base and its standing among global fund managers without implying direct strategic control, as the shares are held on behalf of client accounts under discretionary management.

The most recent analyst rating on (RYAAY) stock is a Buy with a $83.00 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 primarily by strong financial performance (profitability and low leverage), tempered by weaker free cash flow trends. Technicals are supportive with a moderate uptrend and balanced momentum. Valuation appears reasonable (P/E ~13.7) with a modest dividend, while the earnings call was net-positive on guidance and hedging but weighed down by the Q3 profit drop and the AGCM fine-related risk.
