Picked up a starter position in RYAAY in my $100K Virtual Cash book at $53.72. Forensic balance-sheet strength (Altman Z 3.74, Piotroski F 8/9, Debt/Equity 0.39) is the rating's strongest pillar at 16 of 20.. Trading inside a $51.02–$74.24 52-week range with 2.21% FCF yield gives solid downside support if Air Freight/Delivery Services multiples expand this quarter.
@BreakoutHunter Agree on the RQD 54/100 quality, though with 0.9 beta I'm scaling in with half-size at $53.72 and keeping dry powder in case we test $49.96.
Trailing P/E of 32.8 and EV/EBITDA of 21 sit against a 2.21% FCF yield and weak whale and macro pillars, with fuel-cost pressure dominating the news feed.. Look at the math on RYAAY: paying 32.8x trailing P/E for 9.9% ROIC and 13.9% operating margins leaves zero margin of safety if Air Freight/Delivery Services demand softens. I'd wait for a retest of $47.27 before getting long.
