0828 GMT - Ryanair is still well-placed to handle challenges arising from the conflict in the Middle East, as well as rising jet-fuel prices, Deutsche Bank analysts say in a research note. As usual, the carrier didn't provide guidance for profit after tax for fiscal 2027 on limited visibility. However, it said that despite a recent, slight uptick in volumes and less price stimulation, second-quarter fares are seen to be trending modestly down on year, compared with broadly flat before. "It's reasonable to infer this will mean downward pressure on consensus for fiscal 2027 profit after tax which is at around 2.0 billion euros," the analysts say. Deutsche Bank sees around 2.1 billion euros versus the 2.26 billion euros Ryanair delivered in the prior year, they say. Shares trade 6.0% lower at 24.4 euros. (nina.kienle@wsj.com)
