Southwest Airlines: What 2Q26 (And Oil Crisis) Could Bring
Southwest Airlines (LUV) is rated 'Hold' with a $44/share price target, reflecting transformation upside but significant fuel and execution risks. LUV's 1Q26 results validated cost management and fee adoption strategies, but fuel price volatility and lack of hedging threaten full-year EPS targets. Management's $4/share 2026 EPS guidance appears optimistic; my revised estimate is $2.9/share, accounting for higher jet fuel costs and execution risks.

Southwest Airlines: The Ascent Could Continue Amid Sub-$70 Oil
Southwest Airlines is initiated with a "Buy" rating, citing a turnaround, strong forward earnings trends, and favorable macro tailwinds. LUV expects EPS to more than triple to $2.96 this year, with out-year earnings potentially exceeding $4.50 and normalized growth by FY 2028. Valuation appears attractive; applying a low-teens P/E to $4.50 normalized EPS suggests shares could reach $60, supported by strong travel trends and lower energy costs.
