Goldman Sachs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/11/42004767/breaking-down-united-airlines-holdings-11-analysts-share-their-views">has resumed coverage</a> of nine airlines and gave a broad overview of the year ahead for the airline sector. Here's a look at the winners and losers in the industry.
The Details: Goldman Sachs analyst Catherine O'Brien said the firm expects supply constraints to continue for the airlines into 2025. She sees mixed stock performance ahead, with the airlines exposed to premium and corporate demand outperforming the sector.

ALK: The firm resumed coverage of Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) with a Buy rating and a $70 price target on the stock. The analyst pointed to the airline's exposure to the West Coast corporate travel demand, which has begun to recover significantly. 
She also noted Alaska Air's improving interisland profitability and sees upside ahead related to synergies from the acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines.&nbsp;
DAL: Goldman Sachs resumed coverage of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) as a Buy with an $83 price target, representing 28% upside to the stock's current levels. The firm said its Buy rating is underpinned by Delta's growth in loyalty revenue, which is driven partly by its long-term credit card agreement with American Express. 
O&#8217;Brien also highlighted the airline's exposure to passenger demand for premium services and its competitors exiting key cities where Delta continues to operate.&nbsp;
UAL: O&#8217;Brien forecasted United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NYSE">UAL</a>) to end 2024 with margins at nearly pre-pandemic levels and noted this as the highest rate of recovery among the firm's airline coverage. The Goldman Sachs analyst also highlighted United as among the best positioned to serve the increasing premium and corporate consumer demand.&nbsp;
Goldman Sachs resumed coverage on United Airlines with a Buy rating and a $119 price target, representing 31% upside to the stock's current level.&nbsp;
JBLU: The firm resumed coverage on shares of JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) with a Sell rating and a $5.50 price target. O'Brien pointed to capacity restraints resulting from aircraft grounded for required maintenance and air traffic control staffing shortages in New York City, where the airline has a large hub. The analyst said that both issues are out of management's control and expects both to continue through the short term.&nbsp;
LUV: The Goldman Sachs analyst resumed coverage on Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) shares with a Sell rating and announced a $28 price target. O'Brien said Southwest's product <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/11/42004766/beyond-the-numbers-9-analysts-discuss-southwest-airlines-stock">and network</a> are not aligned with the increasing demand for premium air services, putting it at a disadvantage in the current market.&nbsp;

Shares of Spirit Airlines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>) plunged by 62.73% in after-hours and closed nearly 5.29% lower at $3.22 apiece on Tuesday after the company failed to file its earnings for the quarter ended September 2024. The discount airline in a filing late Tuesday, said that it is in talks with its creditors to carve out a restructuring plan which could "lead to the cancellation of the Company's existing equity."
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="244" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines-1024x244.png" alt="" class="wp-image-644695" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines-1024x244.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines-300x71.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines-768x183.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines-1536x366.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines.png 1738w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
What Happened: The budget airline is in discussion with its noteholders for potential bankruptcy or out-of-court restructuring that has been underway for months. This comes after Spirit&#8217;s effort to merge with Frontier Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>) and its takeover by JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) fell out.

Why It Matters: As the ultra-discount airline&#8217;s efforts to save itself fail, its equity holders may suffer because of the cancellation of shares. However, the company&#8217;s statement indicates that the plan that it is trying to negotiate would not hamper general unsecured creditors, employees, customers, vendors, suppliers, aircraft lessors, or the holders of its secured debt backed by aircraft.
The bondholders include the owners of about $1 billion, 8% coupon loyalty bonds which are due 2025 and $500 million in unsecured convertible bonds due 2026. This former debt is backed by claims on elements of the company's frequent-flyer program.

Price Action: The shares of Spirit Airlines have underperformed the NYSE Composite on a year-to-date basis as it has fallen by 80.31%, whereas the index gave a 17.88% return in the same period. The relative strength index at 40.79 shows that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold.
The consensus estimates of all the 12 analysts tracking the stock as per Nasdaq, is a &#8220;sell&#8221; with an average price target is $2.13 apiece.

In a unanimous <a href="https://assets.bwbx.io/documents/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/rXwJ_Vy85PrU/v0">decision</a>, a three-judge panel on the 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston said Friday that the airline alliance harmed consumers by reducing their choices for flights from airports in the Northeast US including New York City.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing JetBlue Airways's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, JetBlue Airways's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 11.23%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Looking Into JetBlue Airways's Recent Short Interest

JetBlue Reveals Official Launch Of Service Between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport And Bonaire's Flamingo International Airport

Spirit Airlines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>) shares have been volatile in recent sessions, gaining sharply last week after the announcement of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41545453/whats-going-on-with-spirit-airlines-stock-friday">significant transaction</a> and an update on its financial performance. 
What To Know: In an SEC filing <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001498710/0421d62b-34a7-490a-bfc5-f62c6333ed1e.html">last week</a>, the budget airline disclosed that it had entered into a binding term sheet with GA Telesis for the sale of 23 A320ceo/A321ceo aircraft, valued at approximately $519 million. 
The delivery of these aircraft is set to begin in October 2024 and will continue through February 2025, contingent upon the execution of definitive documentation and customary conditions.
This move is expected to provide a much-needed boost to Spirit&#8217;s liquidity, with the airline estimating that the net proceeds from the aircraft sale, along with the discharge of associated debt, will enhance its financial position by about $225 million through the end of 2025. 
Such an infusion of capital comes at a critical time for Spirit, as the company grapples with a challenging financial landscape characterized by increased operational costs and a substantial debt load of $3.3 billion.

What Else: Adding to investor optimism, Spirit Airlines recently provided preliminary estimates for its third quarter of 2024, revealing that the estimated adjusted operating margin will be approximately 300 basis points higher than previously anticipated. 
This improvement is attributed to stronger-than-expected revenue growth stemming from the company&#8217;s ongoing transformation initiatives. However, Spirit&#8217;s outlook for 2025 reflects a more cautious approach, with capacity projected to decrease in the mid-teens percentage range.
This reduction is due to a combination of factors, including the recent aircraft sale, ongoing removal of neo aircraft from service because of Pratt &amp; Whitney engine availability issues, and the retirement of its remaining A319ceo aircraft. On a brighter note, the company plans to introduce six new A321neo aircraft into its fleet.

What&#8217;s Next: To support its pathway to profitability, Spirit Airlines has identified about $80 million in annualized cost reductions, which are expected to begin in early 2025. These reductions primarily involve workforce cuts aligned with anticipated flight volumes. 
The company is also actively engaged in discussions with holders of its senior secured notes due 2025 and convertible senior notes due 2026, indicating a proactive approach to managing its debt obligations.
The airline&#8217;s stock has been volatile in 2024, largely due to operational disruptions from an engine recall and regulatory setbacks surrounding its proposed acquisition of JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>). Moreover, Spirit has missed analysts&#8217; expectations on both revenue and earnings in its last two quarterly reports.
Recent reports suggest that Spirit Airlines is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41457620/why-spirit-airlines-save-stock-is-moving">exploring potential bankruptcy options</a>, a move that underscores the financial pressures the company is facing. However, the airline says it remains committed to bolstering its liquidity and addressing its debt load, anticipating over $1 billion in liquidity by the end of 2024.
This figure encompasses unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment securities, contingent upon the successful execution of ongoing initiatives.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SAVE Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Spirit Airlines&#8217; case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SAVE has a 52-week high of $17.02 and a 52-week low of $1.40.

Jetblue CEO Says There Is Still Significant Work Ahead On Our Path To Full-Year Operating Profitability; As We Head Into 2025, We Remain Confident In The Underlying Supply And Demand Backdrop

JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) stock slipped after the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41595226/jetblue-announces-third-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter results</a>.

JetBlue reported operating revenue of $2.365 billion, up 0.51% year over year and beating the consensus of $2.34 billion. Third-quarter system capacity decreased by 3.6% year over year.

The operating margin for the quarter improved by 5 points to negative 1.6% from negative 6.6% a year ago, and the adjusted operating margin stood at negative 0.4%, up from negative 5.2% last year.
Operating expenses for the quarter declined by 4.2% to $2.403 billion, while the operating expenses per available seat mile (CASM) declined 0.7% YoY.

During the quarter, JBLU also signed an agreement with World Fuel Services and Valero Energy to supply New York&#8217;s first ongoing sustainable aviation fuel, starting in 2024.
&#8220;Our number one goal remains returning to operating profitability, and growing our unit revenue is imperative to reach operating profitability. As underlying trends from the&nbsp;third quarter&nbsp;have broadly continued into the&nbsp;fourth quarter&nbsp;so far, we expect unit revenue growth to remain positive and sequentially consistent when adjusting for the CrowdStrike benefit in the&nbsp;third quarter&nbsp;and the negative impacts of Hurricane Milton and the election in the&nbsp;fourth quarter. As we look to 2025, I am encouraged by the backdrop for our revenue performance to continue improving, particularly as additional JetForward initiatives begin yielding benefits,&#8221; commented Marty St. George, JetBlue&#8217;s president.
JetBlue CFO Ursula Hurley highlighted the five-point third-quarter operating margin improvement, driven by stronger revenue, operational gains, and lower fuel costs. Hurley confirmed progress on the full-year CASM ex-fuel target, with strategic financing bolstering liquidity for the JetForward strategy. She expressed confidence in achieving the 2024 EBIT target of $800–$900 million.
Q4 Guidance: JetBlue anticipates a year-over-year revenue drop 7% to 3%; Available Seat Miles (ASMs) to decrease by 7% to 4% YoY.
CASM ex-fuel is projected to rise 13% to 15%, and the expected fuel price per gallon is between $2.50 &#8211; $2.65.
