Ryanair Best-Equipped to Weather Geopolitical Turmoil -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-11

1156 GMT - Investors increased their exposure to Ryanair over the past week even as they increasingly bet against other airlines, Citi analysis of investor positioning shows. The Irish carrier is "rightly viewed as the best equipped to weather near-term geopolitical turmoil," the analysts say. Shares in airlines fluctuated wildly following U.S. and Israeli air strikes against Iran at the end of February as airports shuttered and oil prices soared. However, the increase in short positions in airlines including Air France-KLM, Wizz Air and easyJet--all down around 1.2% Wednesday--began before the start of the conflict, the analysts say. Ryanair stock edges up 0.2%. (josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
