<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<h3>Comparing Alaska Air Gr's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>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.</p>

Shares of travel-related companies are trading lower amid market weakness and investor concerns about tariff risks, which may reduce spending towards tourism.

<p><strong>JP Morgan</strong> analyst Jamie Baker revised ratings/forecasts for several North American airlines ahead of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the JPM Industrials Conference</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst writes that investor concerns have grown, primarily centered around consumer behavior, domestic capacity, and the effects of reduced government travel.</p>
<p>Consequently, share price momentum in 2025 has significantly slowed compared to the rapid gains seen in the latter part of last year, adds the analyst.</p>
<p>Baker says that while fuel costs and the economy always pose risks in airline investing, the macro uncertainty has never been higher.</p>
<p>The analyst adds that while some describe the market as a &#8220;golden age,&#8221; he sees it differently: it&#8217;s a good time for full-service global carriers with a strong focus on premium and loyalty, while other models struggle (excluding SNCY).</p>
<p>Although the analyst didn&#8217;t anticipate this level of industry disruption, the recent downturns seem driven more by macro factors, supporting his broader view of a weak start to 2025.</p>
<p><strong>LUV</strong>: The analyst downgraded <strong>Southwest Airlines Company </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) from Neutral to Underweight while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LUV/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a price forecast of $25</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst says that the bearish outlook reflects a high valuation premium and the decision to rebalance ratings in coverage.</p>
<p>Baker writes that he long believed, even before Elliott&#8217;s involvement, that Southwest&#8217;s best margin and ROIC days are behind it.</p>
<p>Although the analyst supports well-executed turnarounds, the challenge for Southwest in reclaiming industry-leading margins seems immense.</p>
<p><strong>AAL</strong>: The analyst cut the price forecast for <strong>American Airlines Group, Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) from $30 to $26 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/aal/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">while maintaining an Overweight rating</a>. Also, the analyst lowered estimates for first-quarter revenue growth from 4.5% to 3%.</p>
<p>Consequently, Baker revised EPS estimate from $(0.23) to $(0.27).</p>
<p>The analyst has also updated 2026 revenue estimates, lowering EPS forecast from $3.45 to $3.00.</p>
<p><strong>ALK</strong>: The analyst raised the price forecast for <strong>Alaska Air Group, Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) from $85 to $89 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/alk/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterating an Overweight rating</a>.</p>
<p>Baker writes that before acquiring Hawaiian, Alaska Airlines was unfairly grouped with low-cost carriers.</p>
<p>With its expanded international operations, it now aligns with legacy carriers and should be valued similarly, adds the analyst.</p>
<p>The analyst writes that the short-term issues at Hawaiian, such as the Maui wildfires and weak Japan travel, are external and temporary. Alaska&#8217;s management remains strong, and the airline emerged from the pandemic with minimal impact, maintaining a top-tier balance sheet even after acquiring Hawaiian, adds the analyst.</p>
