Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Ryanair P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Ryanair's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Ryanair's shares trade at around 14x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, Ryanair's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
Ryanair's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.7636. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Ryanair's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Ryanair's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Ryanair's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $3.4 billion (£2.5 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of Ryanair's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
Dividend yield: 1.64% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.64% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 32.56% of net profits
Ryanair has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.64% of its share value annually.
Ryanair has paid out, on average, around 32.56% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.64% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 1.64% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ryanair's case, that would currently equate to about 0.468 per share.
While Ryanair's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Ryanair's most recent dividend payout was on 27 September 2026. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 6 August 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
Ryanair's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Ryanair's fiscal year ends in March.

Ryanair's shares were split on a 2499:1000 basis on 29 September 2024. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2499 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ryanair shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 60% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ryanair shares which in turn could have impacted Ryanair's share price.
