Shares of Ryanair Holdings plc (RYAAY, Financial) rose in the third quarter after reporting stronger-than-expected full-year guidance. Ryanair is a European budget airline. While we think low oil prices will buoy all airlines in the short term, we expect Ryanair to attract passengers with the lowest fares in the industry, leading to profitability in any oil price environment. We believe that Ryanair’s cost advantage is sustainable, and that it will continue to gain significant market share in the European short haul passenger market. (Aaron Wasserman)
