SEC filingRyanair Holdings plc purchased 8,001 ordinary shares and 540,986 ordinary shares underlying American Depositary Shares for cancellation during 27 April–01 May 2026, as part of its existing share buy-back programme announced on 20 May 2025.
This 6-K discloses routine weekly share repurchase activity under Ryanair’s pre-announced buy-back programme. The Company acquired 8,001 ordinary shares directly and 540,986 ordinary shares underlying American Depositary Shares across five trading days, all for cancellation. The volume-weighted average prices ranged from €22.028 to €22.700 per ordinary share and US$27.0237 to US$27.8629 per ADS-equivalent share. Because all purchases are designated for cancellation — not treasury stock — the transactions permanently reduce the Company’s issued share capital and ADS float. While the absolute size of this week’s purchases is modest relative to Ryanair’s market capitalisation, the consistent execution reflects ongoing commitment to returning capital to shareholders through buybacks rather than dividends. No new authorisation, revised programme size, or change in strategy is disclosed; this is a procedural update required under EU market abuse regulation (Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014). Investors should monitor future weekly disclosures for trends in pace, pricing, and cumulative volume against the programme’s undisclosed total envelope.
