Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Earnings PotentialIf LUV's turnaround plan can indeed bridge to $3-4 normalized EPS over time, assigning a historical LDD multiple drives a low-mid $40s stock price, or nearly 30% upside from current levels.
Industry OutlookThe RASM outlook is 80 bps ahead of the street on less capacity, which is a bullish indicator for industry dynamics.
Operational StrategySouthwest entered into a sale-leaseback with BBAM for 36 aircraft, which will see a benefit of $92mm in other operating expense from the gains on sale.
Bears Say
Cost ManagementThe guide for 1Q25 reads as weak against expectations for the company's ability to contain cost inflation.
Financial GuidanceThe company's guided 1Q25 CASM-ex of +7-9% YoY implies a unit cost number 2.4% worse than current expectations.
Legal ChallengesThe US DOT is bringing a lawsuit against LUV.
