항공 산업이 2024년에 급성장하며, 심지어 고공행진 중인 기술 섹터도 제치고 있다. 항공사 섹터를 추적하는 U.S. Global Jets ETF(NYSE:JETS)는 12월 27일 기준으로 연초 대비 36.50% 상승했으며, 이는 나스닥 100의 29.79% 상승과 비교된다. 이번 급증은 프리미엄 여행에 대한 강력한 수요, 전략적 운영 변화, 그리고 폭발적인 연휴 교통량을 반영한다.

President Donald Trump ordered his trade chief to reopen investigations into<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41147159/netflix-disney-amazon-hit-by-philippines-new-12-tax-on-digital-providers"> digital service taxes</a> imposed on U.S. tech firms, a move that could result in new tariffs on affected countries. 
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s order, issued on Friday, is aimed at countering the DSTs,&nbsp;fines, practices, and policies that&nbsp;foreign governments impose on American companies. 
The directive calls on the U.S. Trade Representative&#8217;s office to reopen past digital service tax investigations from Trump's first term and examine any new cases where digital taxes may unfairly target U.S. companies.

Digital service taxes, aimed at major U.S. tech firms like Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Meta Platforms Inc.

Countries including Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, India, Austria, and Canada have implemented these taxes on the local sales revenue of these and other digital service providers.
During Trump's first term, the U.S. Trade Representative's office launched Section 301 investigations into these policies, resulting in retaliatory tariffs on select imports.
Why It Matters: This move by Trump comes in the wake of his recent announcement to impose a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43805852/trump-shakes-global-trade-with-25-auto-chip-and-pharma-tariffs-announcement-asian-stocks-pare-their-five-day-rally">25% tariff on auto imports, chips, and pharmaceuticals</a>, causing a stir in international trade. The tariffs are expected to take effect as early as April 2, following a report from his cabinet members outlining options for import duties.
Amid escalating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43876173/apple-ceo-tim-cook-reportedly-meets-trump-as-tariff-impact-looms-on-iphone-sales-and-companys-china-strategy">trade tensions between the U.S.</a> and China, Apple&#8217;s CEO Tim Cook is said to have met President Trump. According to Trump, Cook discussed investing &#8220;hundreds of billions of dollars&#8221; in the U.S. amid tariff threat.
Trump&#8217;s memo instructs his administration to assess whether any European Union or British policies encourage U.S. companies to adopt practices that restrict free speech or promote censorship. According to a White House fact sheet, special attention will be given to how U.S. firms are impacted by the EU&#8217;s Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act.
This comes amid ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40915828/google-wins-1-7b-eu-antitrust-fine-appeal-over-5-year-old-online-search-advertising-case">tension between tech giants and the EU. </a>

Trump Moves To Impose Tariffs On Countries With Digital Taxes, Defending Apple, Amazon, Meta, Google And Other US Tech Giants

Michael Jordan's legendary Chicago estate has taken on a new life under its latest owner. After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42638801/before-his-180-on-climate-change-elon-musk-advocated-for-action-cautioning-that-oceanfront-real-estate-values-would-plummet-2">sitting on the market</a> for over a decade, the sprawling Highland Park mansion finally sold for $9.5 million in December. But instead of keeping it as a private home, the new buyer, John Cooper, is already shaking things up—turning it into a luxury rental at a jaw-dropping $230,000 per month and selling off shares of the property in a unique timeshare model.

Jordan originally listed the 56,000-square-foot estate in 2012 for $29 million, but it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42678673/michael-jordan-sells-his-massive-luxury-mansion-for-9-5-million-but-it-took-12-years-to-find-a-buyer-and-he-spent-50-million-building-it">struggled to attract buyers</a>, despite multiple price cuts and the home's deep ties to the basketball legend. The mansion, known as Legend Point, boasts nine bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, a full-size basketball court, a cigar lounge, and even doors from the original Playboy Mansion. After years of markdowns, Cooper, a real estate investor from Nebraska, purchased the property for $9.5 million—a significant drop from its original asking price.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turning Legend Point Into A Business</h2>
Rather than using the mansion as his primary residence, Cooper quickly set plans in motion to monetize the iconic home. Per Realtor.com, just weeks after closing the deal, he announced that portions of the property would be sold as luxury timeshares under the name &#8220;Champions Point.&#8221; Co-owners can buy a share for at least $1 million, granting them access to the estate for a designated week each year. Owners can invite up to 24 guests and even host high-end events for an extra fee.

Now, in addition to selling shares, Cooper has listed the entire estate for rent, offering anyone with deep enough pockets the chance to live in Jordan's former home for $230,000 a month. The listing describes it as a &#8220;once-in-a-lifetime opportunity&#8221; for those who &#8220;live and breathe sports.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Renters and Co-Owners Get</h2>
The mansion's amenities are as grand as its history. Renters and co-owners gain access to a regulation-size basketball court, an infinity pool with an island, a tennis court, a putting green, a state-of-the-art home theater, a wine cellar, a commercial-grade fitness center, and a cigar room with a custom humidor. High-end add-ons, including private chefs, on-site entertainment, and luxury transportation, are also available for an extra cost.
Cooper, a longtime Bulls fan who has lived in Chicago for the past decade, says he wants to preserve the property's legacy while also making it more accessible to sports enthusiasts, celebrities, and businesses looking for a one-of-a-kind luxury experience.

Michael Jordan's Former $9.5 Million Chicago Megamansion Is Now A $230,000/Month Rental As Its New Owner Sells Off Pieces Of The Property

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook has reportedly pledged a significant investment in the United States and a shift in manufacturing from Mexico to the U.S. President Donald Trump made this announcement during a meeting with governors.
What Happened: After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43876173/apple-ceo-tim-cook-reportedly-meets-trump-as-tariff-impact-looms-on-iphone-sales-and-companys-china-strategy">meeting Cook at the White House </a>this week, Trump revealed that the Apple CEO had assured him of moving iPhone maker&#8217;s manufacturing from Mexico to the U.S.
 &#8220;He&#8217;s&nbsp;investing hundreds of billions of&nbsp;dollars&#8230; That&#8217;s&nbsp;what he told me. Now&nbsp;he has to do it,&#8221; Trump said.
Trump also mentioned that Cook had halted two plants in Mexico and would now be producing Apple products in the U.S. However, Cook has not yet publicly announced any such investment.
"They don't want to be in the tariffs," Trump said.

It's unclear which manufacturing facilities Trump was referring to. Foxconn Technology Group, the maker of Apple's iPhones, already has a strong presence in Mexico and plans to expand further.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Why It Matters: The news of Apple&#8217;s potential shift in manufacturing and significant U.S. investment comes at a crucial time for the tech giant. Like other tech giants, Apple is grappling with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43827658/exclusive-apple-nvidia-tesla-or-boeing-which-company-faces-the-biggest-risk-from-trumps-china-tariffs-35-say-this-stock">rising U.S.-China trade tensions.</a> Trump&#8217;s 10% tariff on Chinese-made goods poses a significant challenge, as China remains Apple's primary manufacturing hub, and the U.S., is its largest market.
According to an analyst at Bank of America, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43839627/apple-may-hike-iphone-prices-by-9-due-to-trumps-tariffs-says-bank-of-america">iPhone maker will need to hike prices</a> on iPhones, iPads, and other products by approximately 9% to counter the effect of tariffs. assuming a minimum 10% tariff applies to all of them. The analyst also expects a potential hit on the sales volume.
On Wednesday, Apple unveiled the iPhone 16e, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43820197/apple-unveils-iphone-16e-with-a18-chip-ai-features-599-price-tag">a budget-friendly successor</a> to the third-generation iPhone SE.

Tim Cook Reportedly Tells Trump Apple Will Invest 'Hundreds Of Billions' In US: 'They Don't Want To Be In The Tariffs'

Elon Musk&#8217;s unsolicited $97 billion bid for OpenAI&#8216;s assets has created a valuation challenge for the artificial intelligence leader, potentially complicating its planned transition to a for-profit structure.
Legal experts suggest the offer, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43755069/openai-board-rejects-elon-musks-97-billion-acquisition-proposal-days-after-sam-altman-calls-it-a-move-to-slow-down-a-competitor#:~:text=OpenAI%20Board%20Rejects%20Elon%20Musk's,Slow%20Down'%20A%20Competitor%20%2D%20Benzinga">though swiftly rejected</a>, could force regulators to scrutinize OpenAI&#8217;s corporate restructuring more closely. The bid &#8220;will be more difficult to justify valuing the nonprofit&#8217;s assets at less than $97 billion if there is a concrete offer for that sum,&#8221; <a href="https://www.economist.com/business/2025/02/11/elon-musks-97bn-offer-is-a-headache-for-sam-altmans-openai">according to a report by The Economist</a>.

</ul>
Musk, OpenAI&#8217;s co-founder and now rival, submitted the bid through a consortium on Feb. 11, targeting the non-profit entity that controls the company. The move escalates his feud with CEO Sam Altman over the company&#8217;s shift toward a more traditional corporate structure.
&#8220;OpenAI is not for sale,&#8221; company spokesman Chris Lehane told The Economist.
The timing appears strategic, as OpenAI reportedly seeks to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43374528/softbank-may-lead-openais-40-billion-funding-round-at-a-300-billion-valuation-despite-deepseek-disruption-report">raise approximately $40 billion from investors, including SoftBank</a>. Musk&#8217;s bid could potentially disrupt the fundraising efforts by raising questions about proper valuation during the company&#8217;s restructuring.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Jill Horwitz, law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, said that the nonprofit board&#8217;s fiduciary duty is to act according to OpenAI&#8217;s legal purpose—building safe artificial intelligence that &#8220;benefits all of humanity.&#8221; The mission-focused obligation may provide flexibility in responding to acquisition offers.
Musk&#8217;s legal team has urged attorneys general in California and Delaware, where OpenAI operates, to ensure the nonprofit surrenders control at fair market value during any restructuring.&nbsp;
While company insiders doubt state officials will acquiesce to Musk, Horwitz noted they have &#8220;clear law to apply&#8221; regarding proper valuation.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
The bid follows recent tensions over the &#8220;Stargate Project,&#8221; a $100 billion data center investment fund announced by Altman and President Donald Trump on Jan. 21. Musk publicly questioned whether the project&#8217;s backers had sufficient funding, allegations they denied.
Altman responded to Musk&#8217;s bid with a facetious counteroffer on X—$9.7 billion to &#8220;buy Twitter,&#8221; as Musk&#8217;s social network was previously known. &#8220;I think he&#8217;s just trying to slow us down,&#8221; <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-02-11/altman-says-musk-probably-just-trying-to-slow-us-down-video">Altman told Bloomberg</a>. &#8220;I feel for the guy. I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s a happy person.&#8221;
The offer represents another front in Musk&#8217;s competitive strategy against his largest AI rival. He launched xAI in 2023, positioning it as a direct competitor to OpenAI.

Gavin Kliger, a member of the Department of Government Efficiency that is being led by Elon Musk, visited IRS headquarters in Washington on Feb. 13, requesting detailed information about agency operations and staffing, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/13/politics/doge-visits-the-irs-putting-staffers-on-edge/index.html">according to CNN</a>.
&#8220;My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk&#8217;s henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason,&#8221; Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) <a href="https://x.com/RonWyden/status/1890114168583565673">wrote on X</a>.

The visit marks the efficiency department&#8217;s first direct engagement with the tax agency, which employs approximately 100,000 workers. According to CNN, Kliger requested information about each business unit&#8217;s responsibilities and risk factors.
An email shared with CNN that was sent to IRS employees during the visit instructed staff to route queries about &#8220;high-profile visitors&#8221; through proper channels, noting the matter had been &#8220;elevated to Treasury&#8221; for further instruction.
President Donald Trump authorized the IRS review earlier in the day on Feb. 13, telling reporters, &#8220;the Internal Revenue Service will be looked at like everybody else.&#8221; When asked if he expected the agency to be closed, Trump responded: &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t expect it.

Trader Notes: More Crypto Online <a href="https://x.com/Morecryptoonl/status/1892996131896074459">noted</a> that Bitcoin has confirmed a local top, aligning with broader market trends. The price failed to sustain above the Feb. 14 high. For a bullish continuation, it should hold above $94,645 in this potential wave 2. The key invalidation level is $93,450.
Crypto trader CJ explained Bitcoin has tagged last week&#8217;s high and low. It provided clean trades on both sides of the range. The trader awaits to see if mid-range demand holds. Ideally, BTC ranges through the weekend.

Hooters of America is huddling up with its creditors to cook up a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bankruptcy">bankruptcy restructuring plan</a>. 
The famous BBQ wing chain has enlisted legal heavyweights at Ropes &amp; Gray to prep the filing, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-21/hooters-in-talks-to-prepare-a-bankruptcy-filing-in-coming-months?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>. The court showdown could kick off within the next two months.
Known for its crop-top uniforms and winking owl mascot, Hooters is trying to get its financial house in order with help from turnaround pros at boutique firm Accordion Partners. 
Meanwhile, some of its lenders have brought in Houlihan Lokey to also advise the process.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Else Is On The Bankruptcy Block?</h2>
Hooters isn&#8217;t the only sit-down dining spot feeling the heat of Chapter 11. 
Mediterranean fast-casual chain Rōti, for example, recently sold out of bankruptcy. According to <a href="https://www.chicagobusiness.com/restaurants/roti-sold-out-bankruptcy-edible-arrangements-founder">Crain&#8217;s Chicago</a>, a private-equity firm led by the founder of Edible Arrangements agreed to take it over. 
Rōti will retain 17 of its 19 locations once the deal is complete.
The culprit behind these filings? Fewer customers waltzing through doors thanks to <a href="https://www.emarketer.com/content/dining-inflation-remains-higher-than-food-home--forcing-restaurants-compete-on-value">inflation</a>. Plus, supply chain headaches, and soaring interest rates are pushing menu prices skyward. As a result, more folks are opting to cook at home. 
More than a dozen major restaurant groups or franchisees waved the white flag and filed for bankruptcy last year, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38992673/the-craziest-parts-of-the-red-lobster-bankruptcy-story-revealed">Red Lobster</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41700829/deal-dispatch-tgi-fridays-goes-bankrupt-bhp-backtracks-comments-and-more-m-a-news">TGI Fridays</a>.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Chart Industries Stock In The Last 5 Years

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) more than doubled its bonus plan for company executives after announcing layoffs for about 3,600 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43874069/meta-slashes-employee-stock-awards-by-10-as-zuckerberg-pours-up-to-65-billion-into-ai-race-against-openai-alphabet-and-amazon-report">employees just last month.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: According to an SEC <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1326801/000132680125000021/meta-20250213.htm">filing</a>, on Feb. 13, Meta approved a new bonus structure that raises the annual target bonus amount from 75% of each named executive officer's base salary to 200% of the base salary. 
The bonus structure excludes CEO Mark Zuckerberg, according to the filing.

The move to increase bonuses for Meta's executives comes after the company announced in January that it would be cutting 5% of its workforce. That&#8217;s about 3,600 employees. 
Meta described the cuts as "performance terminations" aimed at improving efficiency.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low-performers faster,&#8221; Zuckerberg wrote in an internal memo published by Bloomberg.&nbsp;
Former Meta employees<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43723246/meta-faces-backlash-as-laid-off-workers-say-they-were-unfairly-targeted-despite-strong-performance-records"> spoke out</a> on social media. They claim that some high performers, including those on parental and medical leave, were unfairly targeted in the layoffs.  
&#8220;Meta is now the cruelest tech company out there,&#8221; a former employee posted on Blind, an anonymous forum for tech industry insiders.&nbsp;
The backlash does seem to have affected Meta's stock, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43806703/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-platforms-dips-below-short-term-average-as-it-snaps-20-day-winning-run">which ran</a> on a 20-day winning streak just after the layoffs were announced. 
In the 20 trading sessions between Jan. 16 to Feb. 14, Meta's stock rose 20.22%, and the company added over $350 billion in market capitalization during this period.
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Meta shares ended Friday's session down 1.62% at $683.55 amid a broad market selloff.

항공 산업이 2024년에 급성장하며, 심지어 고공행진 중인 기술 섹터도 제치고 있다. 항공사 섹터를 추적하는 U.S. Global Jets ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>)는 12월 27일 기준으로 연초 대비 36.50% 상승했으며, 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech">나스닥 100의 29.79% 상승</a>과 비교된다.
이번 급증은 프리미엄 여행에 대한 강력한 수요, 전략적 운영 변화, 그리고 폭발적인 연휴 교통량을 반영한다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">여행 열풍이 항공사 ETF를 끌어올리다</h3>
올해 추수감사절은 항공사 주식에 중요한 전환점을 마련했다. 6일간의 여행 기간 동안 TSA가 약 1,830만 명의 승객을 검색하여 2023년 대비 6% 증가한 수치를 기록했다. 이는 JETS ETF를 11월 동안 거의 6% 상승시키는 원인이 되었다.
&#8220;순수 소비자 플레이로서 JETS는 투자자들이 연휴 여행 성수기를 활용할 수 있는 방법이다. 올해는 기록적인 수치를 예상하고 있다,&#8221;고 최근 켄트 툰(Kent Thune), ETF.com 연구원이 말했다.
전문가는 최근 ETF의 상승을 연료비 하락과 강한 계절적 수요 덕분으로 분석했다. 8월 이후, JETS ETF는 기술주 중심의 Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)를 31% 포인트 격차로 제쳤다.
JETS의 포트폴리오는 미국 항공사들에 중점을 두고 있으며, 70%를 차지한다. 여기에는 아메리칸 항공 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>)에 10%, 저가 항공사 사우스웨스트 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>)에 8.5%가 포함된다. 또한, 보잉(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), 익스피디아 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) 그리고 트립어드바이저(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRIP#NASDAQ">TRIP</a>)와 같은 소규모 포지션도 포함되어 있다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">프리미엄 수요가 산업을 재정의하다</h3>
델타 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)과 유나이티드 에어라인 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>)는 각각 시장 점유율 기준으로 두 번째와 네 번째로 큰 미국 항공사로, 올해 각각 53%와 140% 상승하는 뛰어난 성과를 보였다. 이들은 JETS 보유 종목의 26% 이상을 차지한다.
파일럿 급여 인상과 유지비 증가라는 비용 압박에도 불구하고, 항공사들은 프리미엄 여행 옵션에 대한 수요가 급증하면서 번창했다. 델타는 최근 고급 서비스 확대 계획을 발표하고, 프리미엄 항공권 수익이 일반석 판매를 초과할 것으로 예상하여 산업의 수익 구조를 재편하고 있다.
&#8220;프리미엄 수익 추세는 지난 몇 년 동안 일반석보다 우세하게 나타났다&#8221;고 캐서린 오브라이언(Catharine O&#8217;Brien), 골드만삭스 애널리스트가 말했다.
&#8220;항공사들은 프리미엄 수요를 분리하여 일반석 프리미엄 이코노미 좌석에서 평면 비즈니스 클래스, 국제 프리미엄 이코노미 및 국내 퍼스트 클래스로 더 많은 프리미엄 수요 세그먼트를 제공하고 있다&#8221;고 그녀가 덧붙였다.
애널리스트는 프리미엄 여행에 노출되고 전략적 용량 개선이 이루어진 항공사들, 즉 델타, 알래스카 에어 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) 그리고 유나이티드가 내년에도 우수한 성과를 낼 것으로 예상했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">차트: 항공사 주식이 대형 기술주를 제치다</h3>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">리스 시장의 호재</h3>
에어캡 홀딩스 N.V.(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AER#NYSE">AER</a>)와 에어 리스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AL#NYSE">AL</a>)와 같은 항공기 임대업체들도 공급 부족과 강한 수요로 혜택을 보고 있다.
골드만삭스에 따르면, 높은 리스 연장률과 판매 이익이 수익성을 높이고 있으며, 애널리스트들은 2025년 리스업체들의 자기자본 수익률이 개선될 것으로 예상하고 있다.
&#8220;2025년을 바라보면, 많은 동일한 주제가 지속될 것으로 예상되며, 항공기 가용성의 변동성과 단위 비용 인플레이션이 계속되지만 둔화될 것이다&#8221;라고 오브라이언이 말했다.

2024년 항공주가 기술주를 능가: '올해 휴일 여행은 기록을 경신할 것으로 예상'

모건 스탠리 애널리스트들은 미국 항공사 산업이 2025년에 큰 성공을 거둘 준비를 하고 있다고 말하며, 항공사들이 &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/airlines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">산업을 수익성 있게</a> 만드는 완벽한 호재의 폭풍&#8221;의 경계선에 있다고 예측했다.
주식 애널리스트 라비 샹커(Ravi Shanker)는 수요일 메모에서 항공사 산업에 대한 긍정적인 입장을 재확인했다.
올해 U.S. Global Jets ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>)는 연초 대비 36% 상승하여, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)로 추적되는 더 넓은 주식 시장보다 약 9%포인트 더 높은 성과를 기록했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">프리미엄 항공사들, 또 하나의 뛰어난 해를 예고</h3>
샹커는 &#8220;수요가 회복세를 유지하고 물량 성장이 있을 것으로 예상한다&#8221;고 말했다. 유나이티드 항공 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>)과 델타 항공(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)과 같은 전통적인 항공사들은 애널리스트들이 &#8220;프리미엄화 트렌드&#8221;라고 부르는 것의 혜택을 보고 있다.
모건 스탠리에 따르면, 이러한 항공사들은 단순한 항공권 판매뿐만 아니라 로열티 프로그램, 신용 카드 및 브랜드 제휴 등 꾸준한 부가 수익원에서도 혜택을 보고 있다.
2024년에 UAL의 주가는 150% 이상 상승하여 모건 스탠리가 목표 주가를 $88에서 $130으로 상향 조정했다. 그러나 이와 같은 비범한 상승은 추가적인 이익을 위한 높은 장벽을 설정한다.
알래스카 에어 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>)은 최근 투자자 회의에서 &#8220;확대된 시너지 목표&#8221;를 발표한 후 2025년 모건 스탠리의 최우선 추천주로 올라갔으며, 목표 주가가 $90으로 상향 조정되었다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">국내 항공사들, 재기 노리다</h3>
2024년에 프리미엄 항공사들이 지배적이었던 반면, 여러 국내 중심 항공사들은 재기를 모색하고 있다. 제트블루(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>)와 사우스웨스트 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>)과 같은 저가 및 초저가 항공사들은 운영 문제와 구조조정 노력으로 어려운 한 해를 겪었다.
모건 스탠리는 &#8220;2024년에 몇몇 국내 항공사들이 사업 모델을 근본적으로 변화시켜 비행 횟수를 줄이고, 비행 방식을 변경하며, 요금을 패키지화하고 고급 시장으로 이동했다&#8221;고 강조했다.
이러한 항공사들이 운영을 안정화하고 전년 대비 쉬운 비교를 통해 강한 회복세를 보일 준비를 하고 있다.
모건 스탠리는 JBLU에 대한 커버리지를 &#8216;중립&#8217;으로 재개하고 12개월 목표 주가를 $8로 설정했다.
샹커는 &#8220;제트포워드(JetForward) 계획의 요소들을 긍정적으로 생각하지만, 다른 국내 항공사들보다 경영진의 통제 밖의 요소들이 더 많아 회복은 더딜 가능성이 높다&#8221;고 적었다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">산업 지표, 2025년에 긍정적 신호</h3>
모건 스탠리는 2025년이 좌석당 가용 매출(RASM)이 좌석당 가용 비용(CASM)을 초과하는 첫 번째 지속적인 기간이 될 것으로 예상한다.
이러한 역학은 모든 항공사들의 마진을 증가시킬 것으로 예상되며, 이는 이전 팬데믹 해들과는 정반대의 상황이다.
애널리스트들은 산업의 중간 단위 성장(MSD)을 예측하며, 이는 저단위 성장(LSD) 수준의 용량 성장 제한에 의해 지원된다.
항공유 가격이 갤런당 2달러 초반대로 2026년까지 머무를 것으로 예상되면서, 항공사들에게 중요한 비용 안정성을 제공하는 유리한 항공유 환경이 낙관론을 부추긴다.
모건 스탠리는 &#8220;가격이 하락할 경우 이익으로 직접 이어질 수 있는 산업의 달콤한 지점이며, 용량이 합리적으로 유지될 수 있는 추가 인센티브를 제공한다&#8221;고 메모에서 썼다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">투자자 심리: 기회와 위험</h3>
2024년의 강력한 성과에도 불구하고 항공사들의 밸류에이션은 여전히 매력적이다. ALK, AAL 그리고 DAL과 같은 주식은 역사적 수익 배수 이하로 거래되고 있어 매력적인 상승 잠재력을 제공한다.
그러나 거시경제적 역풍과 2025년 하반기 소비 지출 둔화 가능성 등 위험이 도사리고 있다.
모건 스탠리는 또한 기관 투자자들의 복귀를 긍정적인 촉매제로 지적했다. &#8220;10년 만에 처음으로 대규모 자본이 돌아오는 가능성은 2025년 주식 상승의 또 다른 발판을 마련할 수 있다&#8221;고 샹커가 말했다.

미국 항공사들은 2025년에 이륙 준비 중, 분석가는 '호재의 폭풍이 산업 성장을 촉진할 것'

짐 크레이머는 항공사들이 수송 능력 관리에 있어 규율을 유지한다면 항공사 주식의 지속적인 강세 가능성이 있다고 본다. 그의 분석은 주요 항공사들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42365072/why-archer-aviation-stock-is-gaining-today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">최근 몇 달 동안</a> 주가가 크게 상승한 가운데 나온 것이었다.
무슨 일 있었나: 델타항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), 유나이티드항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), 아메리칸항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>)은 최근 저점에서 여러 가지 호재의 영향으로 강하게 반등했다.
짐 크레이머는 CNBC에서 항공 부문의 회복이 거시경제적 요인과 산업별 발전에 의해 뒷받침되고 있다고 <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/09/airline-stocks-could-keep-running-if-capacity-control-jim-cramer-says.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">강조했다</a>. 그는 월요일 방송에서 "이 같은 강세는 수송 능력 조절이 유지되는 한 계속될 수 있다"고 말했다. "현재로서는 이 항공사들 모두 올바른 말을 하고 있다.&#8221;
항공 업계는 전통적인 호황-불황 사이클에서 벗어날 수 있는 구조적 변화를 겪고 있다. 크레이머는 스피릿항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>)과 사우스웨스트항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) 같은 저가 항공사의 경쟁이 줄어들고 있다고 지적했다. 저가 항공사들이 확장 계획을 축소하면서 항공 산업은 구조적 변화를 겪고 있다.
또한, 보잉(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)의 제조 지연으로 인해 업계의 수송 능력이 자연스럽게 제한되었다.
이 기사도 읽어보세요: <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/crypto/bitcoin/%EB%B9%84%ED%8A%B8%EC%BD%94%EC%9D%B8%EC%9D%B4%EB%8D%94%EB%A6%AC%EC%9B%80%EB%8F%84%EC%A7%80%EC%BD%94%EC%9D%B8-%EA%B8%89%EB%9D%BD-%ED%9B%84-%ED%9A%8C%EB%B3%B5-btc-%ED%95%B5%EC%8B%AC/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">비트코인·이더리움·도지코인 급락 후 회복: "BTC 핵심 지지선에 주목"</a>
왜 중요한가:  팬데믹 이후 비즈니스 여행의 재개와 잠재적인 연준 금리인하도 항공 섹터의 전망을 더욱 강화했다. 그러나 짐 크레이머는 항공사들이 역사적으로 장기 투자보다는 거래 수단으로 더 좋은 성과를 거뒀다고 언급하며 자신의 전형적인 신중함을 유지했다.
주요 항공 관련 상장지수펀드인 U.S. Global Jets ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>), Gabelli Commercial Aerospace and Defense ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCAD#NYSE">GCAD</a>), 그리고 iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>)는 지난 1년 동안 30% 이상 상승했다.
짐 크레이머는 &#8220;내 직감은 음악이 멈추기 전에 현금을 회수할 때일지도 모른다고 말한다&#8221;며 업계의 역학에 구조적 변화가 있을 가능성을 인정하며 조언했다.

짐 크레이머, 구조적 변화 속 "항공사 주식 강세 계속될 수 있어"

주요 항공사 유나이티드 항공(유나이티드 에어라인 홀딩스) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4월 16일</a>(미국 현지 시간), 시장이 마감한 뒤에 올해 1분기 실적을 발표할 예정이다.
이것은 실적 추정치와 주목할 만한 핵심 항목에 대한 개요이다.
이익 추정치: <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/feature/newsfeed/?gspk=bHVrZWphY29iaTUzNDg&amp;gsxid=tdEE0VrK8Jeg&amp;ref=lukejacobi5348">Benzinga Pro의 데이터</a>에 따르면, 분석가들은 유나이티드 항공의 올해 1분기 매출이 124.5억 달러로 예상하고 있다.
지난해 같은 기간에 이 회사의 매출은 114.29억 달러를 기록했었다. 유나이티드 항공은 지난 6분기 연속으로 월가 매출 예상치를 웃돌았다.
분석가들은 이 항공사가 1분기에 주당 56센트의 손실을 보고할 것으로 예상하고 있는데, 이는 전년 동기의 주당 63센트 손실과 비교된다. 이 회사는 6분기 연속으로 애널리스트들의 예상 주당 순이익을 넘어섰다.
주목할 만한 항목들: 이번 실적 발표는 경쟁사인 델타 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)이 이익과 매출을 모두 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38179955/delta-air-lines-sets-growth-trajectory-prioritizes-debt-reduction-after-strong-q1">월가의 추정치를 모두 상회한</a> 직후에 나온다. 델타는 최근 분기별 실적 보고서 이후 여러 분석가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DAL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">목표 가격</a>이 증가한 것을 확인했다.
다음은 유나이티드 항공에 대한 최근 애널리스트 평가와 목표 주가이다:
서스퀘하나(Susquehanna): 긍정 평가, 60달러에서 55달러로 목표 주가 하향
UBS: 중립 평가 개시, 목표 주가 47달러
유나이티드 항공의 실적 발표는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/airline-stocks">항공 부문</a>이 보잉(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)이 만든 항공기에 대한 좌절과 우려에 직면한 가운데 나온 것이다.
유나이티드는 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38108255/safety-saga-investigators-reportedly-scrutinize-united-pilots-braking-technique-following-runway">안전 우려</a> 문제로 인해 5월 1일로 예정된 투자자의 날을 연기하고 날짜를 가을로 연기한다고 발표했다. 투자자들은 새로운 날짜가 발표되는지 확인하기 위해 수익 보고서를 지켜볼 수 있다.
항공 부문을 추적하는 U.S. Global JETS ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>)는 지난 1년 동안 6.7% 상승한 반면, 유나이티드 항공 주식은 지난 1년 동안 3.2% 상승했다. 유나이티드 항공은 10.5%로 ETF에서 두 번째로 큰 위치를 차지한다.
이 ETF에서 가장 큰 지분을 차지하는 라이벌 델타 항공은 지난 1년 동안 주가가 38% 상승하는 등 해당 부문을 능가하는 성과를 거두었다.
유나이티드의 강력한 실적 보고서는 해당 부문과 동등한 수준을 유지하거나 동종 기업인 델타의 성과에 더 가까워질 수 있는 잠재적인 가치 상승으로 이어질 수 있다.
UAL 주가 움직임: 유나이티드 항공 주식은 52주 최고가와 최저가가 각각 33.68달러와 58.23달러이다. 주가는 41.04달러로 1.82% 하락하며 월요일을 마감했다.

유나이티드 항공 1분기 실적 미리보기: 분석가 예측, 안전 문제, 델타에 비해 실적 부진

미국 대형 항공사 델타 항공 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024년 4월 10일</a> 수요일 시장 개장 전 1분기 실적을 발표할 예정이다.
주요 실적 추정치, 분석가 평가 및 주목해야 할 중요 사항을 살펴보자.
실적 추정치: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">Benzinga Pro의 데이터</a>에 따르면, 델타 항공이 1분기 매출 125.47억 달러를 발표할 것으로 예상된다.
지난해 같은 시기 델타 항공의 매출은 127.59억달러였다. 델타는 지난 10분기 연속하여 분석가들의 매출 예상치를 뛰어넘었다.
분석가들은 델타 항공이 1분기 주당 35센트의 이익을 보고할 것으로 예상하는데, 이는 지난해 같은 시기의 25센트 주당 이익 대비 증가한 수치이다.
이 회사는 최근 다섯 분기 중 네 분기에서 주당 순이익을 넘어섰으며, 그 중에서도 세 분기 연속으로 넘었다.
델타 항공은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37627151/whats-going-on-with-delta-air-lines-stock">최근 1분기</a> 주당 순이익이 25센트에서 50센트 범위 내에 들 것으로 예상된다고 밝혔다. 회사는 연간 주당 순이익이 6달러에서 7달러 범위 내에 있을 것으로 가이드했다.
애널리스트 평가: 몇몇 분석가들은 분기별 사업보고서 발표에 앞서 델타 항공의 목표가를 높였다.
델타 항공의 가장 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DAL/analyst-ratings">애널리스트 평가</a>에 대한 정보는 다음과 같다.
뱅크오브아메리카: 50달러에서 53달러로 주가 목표가 상향 조정, 매수 등급 유지.
모건 스탠리: 77달러에서 85달러로 주가 목표가 상향 조정, 비중확대 등급 유지.
UBS: 52달러의 주가 목표가, 매수 등급으로 시작.
