Ryanair (RYAAY) closed higher on Jan 20 after Elon Musk ran a poll on X asking if he should buy the airline. This comes after a dispute with management regarding Starlink costs. A buyout is basically impossible due to regulations. EU laws require airlines to have 50% EU ownership, so Musk couldn't take a controlling interest. The company reports Q3 earnings on Jan 26. Analysts expect EPS of $0.16, down 45% from last year. The stock is trading at 14x forward earnings, which is expensive compared to Lufthansa. It's also trading below its 20-day moving average.
