Siemens great, Ryanair rubbish? Think again.
Siemens - 73 billion Euros revenue, 7% growth, 12% profit (EBITDA), worldwide presence, coverage in all major markets, immunity from individual market failures - high.
Ryanair - 4 billion Euros revenue, 21% growth, 10% profit (EBITDA), small worldwide presence, coverage mainly in one (bankrupt) continent, complete dependence upon one market sector, wholly dependent upon price of fuel.
Yes, in relative terms Ryanair is not a good investment.
Pointing out one failed Siemens contract amongst tens of thousands of successful ones is like pointing out that Ryanair has aircraft failures and trying to suggest that it is normal for all their aircraft to be that way. Fortunately, there are more balanced views of each company out there - those with some sense clearly.
