Ryanair reported a sharp decline in Q1 profit despite higher passenger traffic, as lower fares and higher unhedged fuel costs outweighed volume gains. The profit hit was driven by a fuel-cost spike, suggesting margin pressure even with demand holding up. This mix of weaker unit revenue and cost inflation is likely to weigh on near-term sentiment toward the stock.
