Easyjet and Ryanair

Abstract: This 32 page paper compares two companies that are both dominant players in the European low cost airline industry; Easyjet and Ryanair. Bucking the recent trends both have performed well, however, Ryanair has suffered due to the recent court case where it was found to have gained uncompetitive advantages when being given subsidies by a Brussels airport. Conversely Easyjet has gained by making the acquisition of GO. The paper looks at the performance of both companies, where Ryanair is growing faster but is also more stretched, with a lower interest rate coverage and also a lower EPS. Easyjet are growing through acquisition, but are also growing at a fast rate. The paper assesses the many factors and then using both efficient market hypothesis and Warren Buffets method try to identify the best potential long term investment. The bibliography cites 14 sources.
