BNP Paribas Financial Markets now holds 1,232,385 shares of JetBlue Airways, valued at $8.08 million, after acquiring 999,713 shares. Institutional investors own 83.71% of the stock, with UBS Group maintaining a "sell" rating and a $5.00 price target, indicating a potential downside of 18.3%. JetBlue reported a quarterly EPS of -$0.16, surpassing estimates, with revenue of $2.37 billion, reflecting a 0.5% year-over-year increase.
UBS has downgraded JetBlue Airways to a Sell rating, setting a price target of $5.00, citing concerns over capacity constraints and high inflation impacting revenue growth. The airline faces challenges, including increased competition on key routes and operational issues, leading to projected negative operating margins for 2025. Other firms, like Goldman Sachs and Citi, echo these concerns while highlighting the need for JetBlue to improve its financial stability and cash flow.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian expressed optimism about the Trump administration"s regulatory approach, calling it a potential "breath of fresh air." He criticized the current Department of Transportation for overreach, particularly regarding consumer protection rules and scrutiny of airline loyalty programs. Other airline executives echoed the need for stability and resources to enhance air traffic control and infrastructure, anticipating a more favorable environment for mergers under the incoming administration.
Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, becoming the first major U.S. carrier to do so in over a decade. The airline aims to restructure and continue operations, having reached a deal with bondholders to exit bankruptcy by early 2025. While travelers can still book flights and use loyalty points, they should be aware of potential schedule changes and refund challenges during this period.
Spirit Airlines has filed for bankruptcy protection after years of losses, a failed merger, and rising costs. The airline has secured $300 million in financing and plans to continue operations, allowing customers to book flights and use tickets as normal. Despite challenges, including a significant drop in share value and the need to furlough pilots, Spirit aims to exit bankruptcy by early next year.
American Airlines and JetBlue Airways are exploring the possibility of reviving their partnership in the Northeastern US, despite a recent court ruling that deemed their Northeast Alliance a violation of antitrust laws. Both companies' executives expressed optimism about future collaboration following the federal appeals court decision that mandated the dismantling of their earlier agreement.
A U.S. appeals court upheld a ruling that blocked American Airlines' partnership with JetBlue, deeming it anticompetitive. The alliance, which coordinated flights and pooled revenue in the Northeast, was challenged by the Justice Department, leading to JetBlue's termination of the agreement. American Airlines' appeal could hinder future collaborations for a decade.
An appeals court upheld the breakup of the American Airlines and JetBlue Airways alliance, ruling it violated US antitrust law. The unanimous decision by the 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals highlighted that the partnership reduced flight options for consumers in the Northeast, including New York City. This case reflects the Biden administration's commitment to scrutinizing corporate mergers to protect consumer interests.
JetBlue Airways has revised its 2024 revenue forecast downward, anticipating a 4% to 5% decline, exceeding analysts' expectations of a 3.6% drop, due to reduced domestic travel demand linked to election-related uncertainty and Hurricane Milton's impact in Florida. The airline's shares fell 4.5% following the announcement, although it reported a smaller-than-expected third-quarter loss of 16 cents per share, aided by improved demand and pricing. JetBlue is also facing higher operating costs due to ongoing engine inspections and has deferred deliveries of 44 new jets to cut capital expenditures by about $3 billion.
Spirit Airlines' stock surged 25% after announcing plans to sell 23 older Airbus aircraft for $519 million and cut jobs to reduce costs by $80 million. The airline, which has struggled post-pandemic, also delayed refinancing over $1 billion in debt until late December. Despite the recent gains, Spirit's shares have plummeted over 80% this year following a blocked acquisition by JetBlue Airways.
