Dernières nouvelles pour Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) Stock

Southwest Airlines

Southwest Airlines is the largest domestic air carrier in the United States by passengers boarded. Southwest operates nearly 800 aircraft in an all-Boeing 737 fleet. Despite offering some longer routes and a few perks for business travelers, the airline predominantly specializes in short-haul, leisure flights operated in a single, open-seating cabin configuration in a point-to-point network. In late 2025, Southwest will modify its cabins to offer some rows with extra legroom and will update its ticketing process and merchandising to offer assigned seats and more fare categories, including a basic economy class that will more directly compete with other airlines' offerings and appear for the first time in travel aggregators' search results.

Southwest Airlines Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) shares are trading <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46589835/southwest-airlines-reports-worse-than-expected-q2-but-sees-constructive-backdrop-for-back-half-of-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">relatively flat on Friday</a>.
On Wednesday, the company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of 43 cents per share, which missed the Street consensus estimate of 51 cents per share.
Quarterly revenue also came in below expectations at $7.24 billion, missing the&nbsp;$7.3 billion analyst estimate.

Goldman Sachs analyst Catherine O&#8217;Brien reiterated the Sell rating on the stock, raising the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/luv/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast from $23 to $24.</a>
Southwest Airlines (LUV) shares fell around 11% on Thursday, underperforming peer airlines in coverage, which were down about 5% on average.
O&#8217;Brien observes that the sharp stock decline mainly to two factors: first, a weaker-than-expected outlook for the September quarter, with Goldman Sachs&#8217; loss per share estimate widening to 12 cents compared to the Street&#8217;s forecast of positive 13 cents; and second, a full-year EBIT forecast that implies an unusually steep ramp in fourth-quarter unit revenue, or Revenue per Available Seat Mile (RASM).
Management noted on the earnings call that to achieve the full-year EBIT target, fourth-quarter RASM would need to rise by roughly 6 percentage points year-over-year, translating to a 13% sequential increase, which would be the highest in the past 15 years outside of the pandemic rebound in 2020 and 2021.
Historically, fourth-quarter RASM has increased an average of only 2% sequentially over the last 15 years, with the 7% gain last year already marking an above-average performance amid improving supply, post-election demand, and stronger revenue initiatives.
Despite the near-term challenges, O&#8217;Brien raises his full-year 2025 EPS estimate to 80 cents from 75 cents, reflecting stronger revenue and buyback forecasts, though partially offset by higher unit costs and fuel prices.
With a reduced share count outlook, he also raises the price target to $24 from $23, though this still implies 28% downside from current levels; his Sell rating remains unchanged.
Price Action: LUV shares are trading lower by 0.27% to $33.1 at last check Friday.

Analyst Andrew Didora noted that airline executives reported steady performance throughout the second quarter, leading BofA to project that most results will align with previous forecasts.
Looking ahead to the third quarter, TSA checkpoint data and BofA&#8217;s card-spending metrics showed slight declines in air travel demand, particularly in June compared to April and May.
Given those trends, Didora said he does not anticipate strong revenue rebounds for the quarter.

Delta Air, Moderna And Coinbase Are Among Top Large Cap Gainers Last Week (July 7-July 11): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Wall Street posted fresh all-time highs this week, fueled by a relentless rally in Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which became the first company in history to surpass a $4 trillion market capitalization, igniting optimism across the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech"> tech and AI sectors.</a>
The chipmaker extended its winning streak to a seventh straight week — and the 11th in the last 12 — nearly doubling its share price from early April lows in just over three months.
This surge pushed the combined market value of the so-called Magnificent Seven — Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) — to a staggering $18.3 trillion.

President Donald Trump reignited trade war concerns, announcing a 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting Aug. 1. He also proposed blanket tariffs of 15% to 20% on most other U.S. trading partners. Additionally, the administration unveiled 50% duties on copper and Brazilian goods, all set to kick in on the same day.
Trump also escalated his feud with the Federal Reserve. On Wednesday, he called for an aggressive three-percentage-point rate cut, arguing that each point costs the U.S. $360 billion annually in debt service.
The Fed remains cautious. Minutes from the June 17–18 FOMC meeting revealed that most officials expect to cut rates later this year. Still, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee pushed back, saying debt costs shouldn&#8217;t drive monetary policy. He reiterated the central bank's dual mandate: price stability and full employment.
Airline stocks outperformed this week. Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) surged 12% on Thursday after beating earnings expectations and reaffirming its full-year profit forecast. Optimism spilled over to United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) and American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>), as investors bet on a strong summer quarter for the travel sector.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also broke records, soaring past $118,000. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) — the world's largest crypto-related exchange-traded fund — posted inflows in 12 of the past 13 weeks, reflecting surging institutional interest in the top cryptocurrency.
