UBS has initiated coverage on U.S. airlines, emphasizing the impact of supply and demand on RASM growth and margins through 2025. Buy ratings were assigned to Alaska Air, Delta, and United Airlines, while American, Allegiant, and Frontier received neutral ratings. Southwest and JetBlue were given sell ratings due to financial concerns, with industry-wide pretax margins projected to rise to 6.6% in 2025, supported by a forecasted 3.5-4.0% growth in passenger revenues.
Southwest Airlines' shares fell by 1% to $32 after UBS initiated coverage with a "sell" rating and a price target of $27, indicating a 16% decrease from the last closing price. UBS believes the market is overly optimistic about the airline's profit growth potential in the coming years, citing significant margin declines post-COVID. Despite this, the stock has risen 12% year-to-date.
Southwest Airlines Co., one of the largest airlines in the U.S., has seen a shift in its investment rating from Buy to no longer Buy by UBS. The airline's net sales are primarily derived from passenger transportation (89.9%), with cargo transportation contributing 0.7% and other activities at 9.4%. As of the end of 2022, Southwest operated a fleet of 770 aircraft.
Southwest Airlines' director now owns 3,606,311 shares valued at over $108 million, marking a 21.73% increase in their position. Institutional investors hold 80.82% of the stock, with recent significant purchases from Olstein Capital and Mizuho Securities. Analysts maintain a "hold" rating, with UBS Group setting a target price of $27, indicating a potential downside of 16.74%.

CVS Health has reached an agreement with activist investor Glenview Capital to add four new members to its board, including Glenview CEO Larry Robbins, following the ousting of former chief Karen Lynch.

Flights from the U.S. to Europe are at their lowest prices in three years, with average fares dropping to $578 in November, down from $619 last year. Despite a slight decrease in airline capacity compared to last year, demand remains weak in the offseason, prompting airlines to offer discounts to fill seats. As travelers seek new destinations, airlines like United are expanding their schedules to include less popular locations.
