JETBLUE AIRWAYS CORP
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.
JetBlue (JBLU) received FAA approval to acquire 22 slots at LaGuardia from Spirit Airlines, paying $58.5M. The deal prohibits leasing until 2028 and grants a usage waiver until 2027. JetBlue won the slots in a bankruptcy auction, facing industry pushback over market concentration. The move aims to expand JetBlue's presence in the high-yield Manhattan market.
