- Friday, February 15, 12:13 PM Hedgeye issues some negative comments on the airline sector (AAMRQ.PK, LCC, UAL, DAL, LUV, HA, JBLU, ALK, RJET, ALGT, SAVE): 1) The firm notes that with the merger of U.S. Airways and American Airlines now set, a big catalyst is removed and the path toward actual integration and synergies is still slow. 2) Even if industry consolidation supports a higher fare environment, new low-cost carriers will pop up. 3) Is bigger really better? Several transportation industries have struggled after consolidation instead of thrived. 2 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, January 31, 3:10 PM Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) declares $0.01/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 0.36%. For shareholders of record Mar. 07. Payable Mar. 28. Ex-div date Mar. 05. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Thursday, January 24, 8:45 AM Southwest Airlines (LUV) CEO Gary Kelly gives up a little ground on baggage fees in an interview with CNBC. While seemingly boxed into a corner due to its well-known "Bags Fly Free" advertising campaign, the exec says "never say never" when asked about the fee issue. (Previous: LUV earnings) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, January 24, 7:00 AM More on Southwest Airlines' (LUV) Q4: Passenger revenue up 1.9% Y/Y to $3.939B. Average passenger fare jumped 5.4% to $148.02, while available seat miles and load factor both fell during the period. Fuel costs for the quarter fell a penny to $3.28 compared to a year ago. The carrier says early 2013 booking trends are positive. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Consumer]
- Thursday, January 24, 6:50 AM Southwest Airlines (LUV): Q4 EPS of $0.09 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $4.2B misses by $0.02B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

- Tuesday, January 22, 11:54 AM Airlines get a boost as David Tepper (earlier) argues "the equity is cheap to everything," and the industry has the tailwinds of a strong dollar and "flat" oil prices. DAL +3.5%, UAL +1.2%, LCC +2.8%, LUV +2.2%, SAVE +3%. 1 Comment [Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, January 17, 8:48 AM Airfares in focus: United Continental (UAL) pushes through its second hike in fares this year with domestic pricing up by as much as $10 this week. The probing move drew in JetBlue (JBLU) already, but analysts think that unless Southwest Airlines (LUV) jumps on board, fare could slip back lower. (Previous: Barclays bullish on airliners) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, January 17, 8:18 AM Flying high? Barclays is out with a positive note on the airline sector, saying stocks could rise 20% on a mix of higher fares and lower jet fuel prices. Investors should also keep an eye on the merger front. With all signs pointing to an eventual marriage between American Airlines and US Airways, future industry consolidation/partnerships could still be on tap. A particular focus will be on Washington DC to see if rules governing foreign ownership of U.S. carriers are relaxed. Comment! [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, January 16, 8:50 AM Though consumer prices remained flat in December, airline fares kept up their slow march higher to notch a 2.1% rise for the year. Analysts note the ARCA Airline Index (XAL) is up 10% YTD and could have the legs to run higher as fare hikes trickle down to the bottom lines of carriers. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, January 11, 6:15 PM WSJ's Middle Seat blog is out with its scorecard of airline rankings for 2012, and the industry overall showed a bit of improvement. The Delta (DAL) flying experience, on average, went to good from bad over the past two years, but other airlines - notably United (UAL) and American (AAMRQ.PK) - suffered miserable years when measured in six performance categories. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, January 8, 10:31 AM Southwest Airlines (LUV +3.1%) announces its consolidated traffic slipped 0.2% in December even though its capacity was slightly higher. Passenger revenue per available seat mile was flat compared to a year ago. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, January 8, 7:55 AM Deutsch Bank upgrades Southwest (LUV) to Buy from Hold with an improved price target of $15. The firm thinks the carrier is set to start realizing a return on its invested capital and see the synergies from the AirTran purchase contributing to the bottom line in short order. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, December 14, 2012, 9:07 AM Heard at the Southwest Airlines (LUV) Investor Day Event: 1) The integration of AirTran should be completed in full by the end of 2014. 2) Execs see careful management of capacity as a major goal and forecast "modest" increases of fares. 3) Fleet initiatives will contribute to results in 2013 with new aircraft deliveries on tap and conversions of existing aircraft adding to efficiencies. 4) Execs note traffic is growing faster than capacity, but take a cautious tone on growing before the trend solidifies. (webcast) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, December 13, 2012, 2:34 PM The IATA's forecast for 2012 airline industry profits lit a charge under stocks in the sector for the day, but the group also sees clear skies ahead in 2013. Fuel prices should fall lower and passenger demand will increase by 4.5%, according to IATA estimates. Things are even rosier for North American carriers, with profits expected to jump 42% Y/Y to $3.4B. In the big picture, the targeted capacity cuts at airlines may finally stay to pay dividends. 1 Comment [Consumer]
