BUZZ-Ryanair: stopping for fuel

** Ryanair, Europe's best performing airline stock over the past year, continued its run of strong results though a cautious outlook could see the stock ease

** Company lifted its annual profit forecast & said it would buyback 400 mln euros ($452.36 mln) worth of shares

** With 90 pct of its fuel requirements for 2015 hedged at $95/barrel, company unlikely to see big benefit from lower crude.

** Brokers mixed in the pre-market with 2 seeing stock lower vs 2 calling it 2-3 pct higher

** Stock closed at a record high last Tuesday and is up about 52 pct over the past year
