See all $ALK insider activity →Susquehanna Financial Group reduced price targets for eight airline stocks, citing higher fuel costs. Delta (DAL) was cut to $100, United (UAL) to $150, American (AAL) to $15, Alaska (ALK) to $50, Southwest (LUV) to $45, Allegiant (ALGT) to $85, JetBlue (JBLU) to $4, and Frontier (ULCC) to $6. Earnings estimates for Delta were also lowered. Higher fuel prices are expected to impact earnings through 2027.
Short interest in U.S. airlines has risen from 8% to 13% of float, with JetBlue (JBLU) seeing the largest increase. S3 Partners attributes this to the inverse relationship between airline stocks and oil prices since the Iran war began. American Airlines (AAL) and Alaska Air (ALK) also saw significant increases in short interest. S3 notes that short sellers are effectively betting on sustained high oil prices. Fuel costs are the airlines' largest risk due to volatility.
Alaska Air Group announced changes to its Atmos Rewards program, including new earning options for American Airlines flights starting in 2027. Members can earn points based on distance, price, or segments, potentially making it more attractive than American's AAdvantage for some flyers.
