NTSB Opening Investigation Into 2023 Southwest Boeing 737 Max Engine Incident

Delta Air Lines Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NASDAQ">DAL</a>) CEO Ed Bastian has suggested that President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration could provide a &#8220;breath of fresh air&#8221; for the airline industry, criticizing what he perceives as government &#8220;overreach&#8221; during President Joe Biden&#8216;s era.
What Happened: Speaking ahead of the company&#8217;s investor day, Bastian signaled potential regulatory changes that could significantly impact the aviation sector, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/delta-airlines-trump-biden-regulation-c4393d5f763d95c8286d4069563032dc#">reported</a> the Associated Press on Thursday.
The airline executive&#8217;s comments reflect a broader sentiment among industry leaders who anticipate a more business-friendly regulatory environment. 
Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) CEO Robert Jordan similarly expressed hope for a Department of Transportation that might be &#8220;less aggressive&#8221; in rule-making, highlighting growing frustration with current consumer protection regulations.

Delta&#8217;s financial performance provides context for these expectations. The airline reported a robust $2.6 billion profit in the first nine months of 2024, with projected fourth-quarter adjusted profit between $1.60 and $1.85 per share. The company expects 2025 revenue growth in mid-single digits, positioning itself strongly amid potential regulatory shifts.
Why It Matters: Wall Street appears cautiously optimistic about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/11/42014787/delta-united-alaska-air-are-top-analyst-picks-in-airline-sector">the airline sector&#8217;s future</a>. Goldman Sachs has resumed coverage of major airlines, providing Delta with a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating and an $83 price target. Analysts expect continued supply constraints through 2025, with a focus on airlines&#8217; ability to adapt to changing market conditions.
The potential appointment of Sean Duffy as Transportation Secretary could herald broader changes across the transportation sector. Industry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42076876/what-could-trumps-new-dot-pick-mean-for-evs-airlines-railroads">observers speculate about the potential streamlining of regulations</a>, enhanced infrastructure focus, and possible modifications to electric vehicle and autonomous driving policies.
Price Action: Delta Air Lines closed at $63.64 on Wednesday, down 1.71% for the day. In pre-market trading, the stock was down 0.5% at the time of writing. Year to date, the stock has surged by 57.33%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Delta Chief Says Trump Could Be A 'Breath Of Fresh Air' For Aviation Industry

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;

Southwest Airlines Co. expects the strike by Boeing Co. workers and a lengthy push to boost production to once again limit the number of aircraft it receives next year.

'Southwest Air Sees Boeing Strike Cutting Into 2025 Deliveries' - Bloomberg News

Southwest Airlines's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.86% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 39.78 million shares sold short, which is 8.42% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.41 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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>Southwest Airlines Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731433520_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Southwest Airlines has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Southwest Airlines'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>, Southwest Airlines's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.87%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Elliott Investment Management Is Slightly Increasing Its Economic Exposure To 11.3% In Southwest Airlines; Elliott Is Lowering Its Holdings Of Southwest Airlines Common Shares That Come With Voting Rights To About 9.95% From 10.2%

Southwest Airlines's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.09% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 42.66 million shares sold short, which is 9.04% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.15 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Southwest Airlines has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Southwest Airlines'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>, Southwest Airlines's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 11.83%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

The Details: Crude oil prices saw their sharpest one-day drop since 2022 on Monday. Oil futures for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell by 6%, settling near $67 per barrel. This drop followed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567809/oil-etfs-plunge-premarket-after-israels-strikes-on-iran">Israeli airstrikes in Iran</a> that focused on military targets and avoided oil infrastructure, reducing fears of immediate supply disruptions.
Oil markets had initially reacted to Middle East tensions earlier in the month, with concerns that strikes on Iranian oil facilities could disrupt supply. However, the limited scope of these recent airstrikes led analysts to expect oil prices to remain under pressure. 
Analysts noted that if OPEC+ proceeds with plans to increase supply while demand, particularly from China, continues to decrease, prices could trend lower into 2025.
China's oil demand has slowed since May, with structural changes in its energy sector and a higher share of new electric vehicle registrations contributing to reduced oil consumption.
Lower oil prices are generally bullish for airlines given that oil is one of the biggest expenses for airline companies. All of the aforementioned stocks gained between 1% and 4% on Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Airline Stocks Climb As Oil Prices Drop: What's Going On?

RYAAY

SKYW

Shares of airline stocks are trading higher amid a drop in the price of oil, which can help decrease costs.

The U.S. Justice Department's Antitrust Division and the Department of Transportation announced on Thursday they have opened a broad public inquiry into the state of competition in air travel on topics including previous airline mergers, aircraft manufacturing, airline ticket sales, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40745931/delta-southwest-and-other-airlines-in-hot-waters-with-us-transportation-department-for-unfair-reward">pricing and rewards practices</a>.
The Details: The agencies <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-and-department-transportation-launch-broad-public-inquiry-state">have issued</a> a Request for Information (RFI) and seek the public's input on anticompetitive conduct, consolidation and issues affecting the availability and affordability of air travel options.&nbsp;
"Competition in air travel is a vehicle for better quality, better fares and better choices for Americans," said Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division.
"With this inquiry, we hope to learn more from the businesses and travelers at the center of this essential industry. Their feedback will ensure the Justice Department can continue to build on its historic efforts to protect competition in air travel," Kanter added.&nbsp;

The U.S. Travel Association reacted to the DOJ's public inquiry into competition in air travel, which it sees as politically motivated.&nbsp;
"Today's announcement by the Departments of Transportation and Justice that they will launch ‘broad inquiries' into airline business practices is another in a long line of disappointing political stunts," the U.S. Travel Association said <a href="https://www.ustravel.org/press/us-travel-reacts-doj-dot-inquiry-air-travel-competition">in a statement</a>.
DOJ Cracks Down: Under the Biden administration, the DOJ has cracked down on industry consolidation and mergers and successfully blocked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37455281/jetblue-spirit-airlines-shares-are-moving-monday-whats-going-on">the merger</a> of JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) and Spirit Airlines, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NASDAQ">SAVE</a>) earlier this year.  
Spirit Airlines continues to face financial trouble and a potential bankruptcy after the deal with JetBlue fell through. Earlier this week, it was reported the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/10/41496171/whats-going-on-with-spirit-airlines-stock-wednesday"> airline had resumed</a> preliminary merger discussions with Frontier Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>). The potential merger of the two airlines would likely coincide with Spirit's restructuring of its debt and other liabilities in bankruptcy and could be affected by actions resulting from the DOJ's latest inquiry. 
Last month, the DOT launched an inquiry into whether the loyalty programs of the four largest U.S. airlines have engaged in unfair, deceptive or noncompetitive practices. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sent a letter to American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), United Airlines and Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) requesting records and reports related to the airlines&#8217; loyalty programs, practices and policies.
Federal agencies did allow a merger between Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. and Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40455513/alaska-airlines-hawaiian-airlines-1-9b-merger-gets-doj-green-light-awaits-transportation-department">to be completed</a> in September. However, the DOT required the companies to agree to a set of consumer protections before giving the deal the green light. 
Why It Matters: Other companies in the airline industry may be affected by the joint inquiry announced Thursday, including planemaker Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and parts supplier Spirit Aerosystems Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPR#NYSE">SPR</a>). Investors can monitor the effects on the industry through airline-focused ETFs, including the U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>) and the iShares Trust iShares U.S. Transportation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYT#BATS">IYT</a>).

The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at $19.95 has crossed above the 200-day SMA at $19.71, triggering a bullish trend.
As travel demand rebounds, the airline industry is riding high. But as we head into the final quarter of 2024, can the sector maintain altitude with looming challenges ahead?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">JETS ETF Soars, Backed by Airline Giants</h2>
The JETS ETF, with Delta and Southwest among its top holdings, has been a high-flyer in 2023. It's up 20.33% year-to-date, supported by United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) stellar performance.
United recently hit a 52-week high after posting strong third-quarter earnings, which exceeded expectations with $3.33 per share and $14.84 billion in revenue. 
Despite some turbulence, including a slight dip in revenue per available seat mile (RASM), United&#8217;s future outlook remains optimistic with solid free cash flow of $3.4 billion year-to-date.
With a strong 83.64% year-to-date rise in United&#8217;s stock price, investors in the JETS ETF have been smiling, but the road ahead could get bumpy for other airline stocks like Delta and Southwest.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Delta Battles Headwinds After Outage</h2>
Delta Air Lines has had its fair share of turbulence lately. The airline reported that a costly technology outage during the summer, involving cybersecurity companies CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), wiped out $380 million in revenue.
Despite the hit, Delta posted $15.68 billion in revenue for the third quarter, but it fell short of analysts' expectations.
Even so, Delta is banking on strong holiday demand to lift its fourth-quarter earnings, projecting revenues to rise between 2% and 4%. But with looming election uncertainty briefly deterring air travel, and its capacity for future tech failures now a concern, can Delta regain momentum?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Southwest Beats Expectations, But Boeing Concerns Linger</h2>
Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines posted an unexpected earnings beat in its third quarter report, with 15 cents EPS versus breakeven forecasts. Revenue also surpassed estimates at $6.87 billion, thanks to higher-than-expected travel demand. But despite the positive earnings, Southwest's stock dipped due to concerns over potential Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) delivery delays, adding uncertainty to its future growth.
Southwest also inked an agreement with activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which could lead to further strategic changes. The airline&#8217;s cautious tone around Boeing delays may cause some turbulence in the short term, but long-term investors might want to keep their seat belts fastened for future gains.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For Airline Investors?</h2>
As the fourth quarter unfolds, investors in the JETS ETF and individual airline stocks will be watching closely. Will strong travel demand be enough to offset the headwinds facing Delta and Southwest? 
And can the industry's investments in infrastructure, technology, and partnerships with companies like Microsoft lead to smoother skies in 2025?
With Delta battling outages, Southwest navigating Boeing uncertainties, and United soaring ahead, the airline industry has plenty of drama left in the tank. 
For now, it's time for investors to sit tight and prepare for what could be a bumpy ride ahead.

Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates.

상세 내용: 월요일에 원유 가격이 2022년 이후 가장 큰 하루 하락폭을 기록했다. 서부 텍사스 중질유(WTI) 선물 가격이 6% 하락하여 배럴당 약 67달러에 거래되었다. 이 하락은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567809/oil-etfs-plunge-premarket-after-israels-strikes-on-iran">이스라엘의 이란 공습</a>이 군사 목표에만 집중하고 석유 인프라를 피한 후 즉각적인 공급 중단에 대한 우려를 줄였기 때문이다.
원유 시장은 이달 초 중동 긴장 사태에 처음 반응하여 이란 석유 시설에 대한 공습이 공급을 차단할 수 있다는 우려가 있었다. 그러나 최근 공습의 제한된 범위는 분석가들로 하여금 유가가 계속 압박을 받을 것으로 예상하게 했다.
분석가들은 OPEC+가 공급을 늘릴 계획을 진행하고 중국을 중심으로 수요가 계속 감소하면 가격이 2025년까지 하락할 수 있다고 언급했다.
중국의 석유 수요는 5월 이후로 둔화되었으며, 에너지 부문의 구조적 변화와 새로운 전기차 등록 비율의 증가가 석유 소비 감소에 기여했다.
유가가 하락하면 항공사에게 긍정적이다. 유가가 항공사들의 가장 큰 비용 중 하나이기 때문이다. <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>에 따르면, 위에 언급된 모든 주식은 월요일에 각각 1%에서 4% 사이로 상승했다.

사우스웨스트 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>)의 주식이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LUV/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">인상적인 실적 발표</a>와 행동주의 투자자 엘리엇 인베스트먼트 매니지먼트(Elliott Investment Management)와의 새로운 제휴 소식으로 인해 초반에는 급등했으나, 보잉(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)의 노조 파업이 항공기 납기를 지연하고 비용을 초래할 수 있다는 우려로 하락 마감했다.
최근 실적 보고에서 이 항공사는 총 영업 매출이 5.3% 증가하여 68억 7천만 달러를 기록했으며, 이는 68억 1천만 달러라는 예상치를 상회하는 수치이다. 사우스웨스트는 조정 주당순이익(EPS)을 0.15달러로 발표했는데, 이는 손익 분기점을 예상했던 분석가 추정치를 뛰어넘는 수치이다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">어려움 속에서도 인상적인 실적</h2>
코로나19 팬데믹으로 인한 혼란과 보잉의 지속적인 납기 지연에도 불구하고 이 항공사는 조정 순이익 8,900만 달러로 회복력을 보여주었다.
CEO인 밥 조던(Bob Jordan)은 사우스웨스트를 수익성 있는 과거의 영광으로 되돌리기 위한 전략 실행에 집중하고 있다.

LUV 주식은 골든 크로스(Golden Cross)를 형성하였으며, 주가가 $31.09로 50일 이동 평균 $29.32, 20일 이동 평균 $30.46 및 8일 이동 평균 $30.65를 여유 있게 상회하고 있다.
이 상승 추세는 강한 매수 압력을 나타내며, 투자자들이 낙관적으로 매수하고 있음을 시사한다. 연말 여행 수요가 증가함에 따라 사우스웨스트는 4분기에 단위 매출이 3.5%에서 5.5% 사이로 증가할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 이는 허리케인 밀턴으로 인한 항공편 취소와 같은 몇 가지 문제에도 불구하고 말이다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">새로운 전략적 방향</h2>
그리고 여섯 명의 새로운 이사들이 팀에 합류하면서 — 쉐브론(Chevron)과 버진 아메리카(Virgin America) 출신의 업계 거물들이 포함된 — 사우스웨스트는 혼잡한 하늘에서 더 잘 경쟁할 수 있도록 전략을 재편하고 있다.
LUV가 상승함에 따라, 탄탄한 실적 보고서, 상승적인 기술적 신호 그리고 활기찬 경영진의 조합이 이 항공사를 잠재적인 전환점으로 위치시키고 있다.
투자자들은 이 새로운 모멘텀이 사우스웨스트를 연말 성수기 동안 더 높은 고도로 이끌 수 있을지 기대하고 있다.
<h2>문제는 보잉의 파업</h2>
사우스웨스트는 여전히 외부 문제, 특히 보잉과 관련된 문제에 직면해 있다. 수요일에 기계공들은 보잉의 최근 노동 제안을 거부했고, 64%가 반대 투표를 했으며 파업을 연장해 이 회사의 시애틀 지역 생산 대부분을 5주 이상 중단시켰다.
CEO인 밥 조던은 CNBC에 현재 진행 중인 보잉의 파업이 2025년에 계획된 항공기 인도에 잠재적인 위험을 의미한다고 말했다. 조던은 사우스웨스트가 이미 2024년에 약 20대의 항공기 인도를 계획했으며 지금까지 19대의 항공기를 인수하여 대부분 순조롭게 진행되고 있다고 언급했다.
보잉 기계공들의 파업이 계속된다면, 이 항공사는 2025년 배송 일정을 다시 계획해야 할 수도 있다고 그가 말했다.
주가 움직임: 사우스웨스트 항공의 주식은 목요일 5.56% 하락한 $29.02에 마감되었다.

행동주의 투자자 엘리엇 인베스트먼트 매니지먼트(Elliott Investment Management)와 사우스웨스트 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>)은 항공사 이사회 지배권을 둘러싼 대리전을 피하기 위한 잠재적 합의를 논의하기 시작했다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 엘리엇는 이 항공사의 이사회에 대한 대표권을 부여하되 지배권은 주지 않는 방안을 제안했다고 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-19/southwest-activist-elliott-said-to-begin-settlement-discussions">블룸버그</a>가 이 문제에 정통한 관계자들을 인용하여 보도했다.
이 보도에 따르면, 이 협상은 해결을 향해 진행되고 있지만, 아직 최종화되지 않았으며 실패할 수도 있다고 한다.
<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">벤징가</a>는 사우스웨스트와 엘리엇 양측에 확인 요청을 했으나 아직 응답을 받지 못했다.
중요한 이유 (Why It Matters): 지난주 초, 엘리엇 인베스트먼트 매니지먼트는 사우스웨스트 주주들을 위한 특별 회의를 12월 10일로 요청하고, 어려움을 겪고 있는 이 항공사의 이사회의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41314958/whats-going-on-with-southwest-airlines-stock-today">이사 8명을 교체하자는 제안</a>을 제출했다.
엘리엇는 6월 이후로 사우스웨스트에 재정적 성과 개선을 위한 &#8220;필수적인&#8221; 거버넌스 변경을 시행하도록 설득하기 위한 여러 차례의 시도를 해왔다. 이 헤지펀드는 현재 항공사에 거의 11%의 지분을 보유하고 있다고 밝혔다.
&#8220;우리는 오늘 이 조치를 취하는 것은 사우스웨스트에 대한 개선된 감독의 필요성이 그 어느 때보다도 긴급해졌기 때문이다&#8221;고 이 행동주의 투자자는 지난주 초에 언급하며, 이 회사가 변화를 감독할 경험이 풍부하고 자격 있는 이사회를 필요로 한다고 덧붙였다.
그러나 사우스웨스트는 특별 회의 요청을 &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41339656/southwest-airlines-stock-is-rising-tuesday-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">불필요하고 부적절하다</a>&#8220;고 일축하고, 이 헤지펀드의 요구를 &#8220;극단적&#8221;이라고 평가했다.

사우스웨스트 항공, 이사회 지배를 위한 대리전 피하기 위해 투자자 엘리엇과 협상 중: 보도

항공사들의 주식은 주가, 업계 기대치 및 실적의 급격한 변동으로 인해 한 해 동안 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41124443/whats-going-on-with-delta-united-and-spirit-airlines-shares-tuesday" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">격동의 시기</a>를 견뎌왔다. 최근 항공사들의 내부 거래를 보면 이 업계가 다음 방향으로 나아갈 방향을 알 수 있다.
거래들: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/">벤징가 엣지(Benzinga Edge)는 내부자 거래 신고에 대한 정보를 수집</a>한다.
사우스웨스트 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>)은 최근 며칠간 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41156975/southwest-airlines-director-rakesh-gangwal-invests-over-100m-in-shares-amid-elliott-managements-">내부자 활동이 활발하게 발생</a>했다. 이사회 위원 라케시 강왈(Rakesh Gangwal)은 9월 말과 10월 초에 사우스웨스트 주식에 1억 달러 이상을 투자했다. 게리 켈리(Gary C Kelly) 회장은 9월 말에 사우스웨스트 주식에 100만 달러를 매입했다.
델타항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)은 가장 큰 미국 항공사이다. 애틀랜타에 본사를 둔 이 거대 기업은 2024년 초 여러 내부자 매도를 경험했다. 글렌 W 하우엔스타인(Glen W Hauenstein) 사장은 4월에 490만 달러 상당의 델타 주식을 매각했으며, 이는 그의 총 보유량의 30% 이상에 해당한다. 피터 W 카터(Peter W Carter) 부사장도 같은 달에 250만 달러 상당의 델타 주식을 매도했다.
델타는 변동성이 큰 한 해를 겪었다. 1월부터 5월 중순까지 주가가 30% 이상 상승했으나, 이후 하락세로 인해 대부분의 상승폭이 사라졌다. 8월부터 9월 말까지 다시 회복세를 보였다.
여러 얼리전트 트래블 컴퍼니(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>) 임원들이 2024년에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ALGT/insider-trades">주식을 매도</a>했다. 스캇 디안젤로(Scott DeAngelo) 마케팅 부사장은 5월에 얼리전트(Allegiant) 주식 100만 달러 이상을 매도했다. 이후 디안젤로는 <a href="https://ir.allegiantair.com/news/news-details/2024/Allegiant-Announces-Resignation-of-Executive-Vice-President-and-Chief-Marketing-Officer-Scott-DeAngelo/default.aspx">회사를 사임</a>했다. 프랭크 윌퍼(Frank Wilper) COO와 게리 엘머(Gary Ellmer) 이사도 봄과 여름에 주식을 매도했다.
중요한 이유 (Why it Matters): 내부자 거래 활동은 종종 회사의 미래 전망을 나타내는 중요한 지표로 여겨진다. 고위 임원이나 이사들이 주식을 매매할 때, 이는 회사 실적에 대한 그들의 신뢰 &#8211; 또는 신뢰 부족 &#8211; 을 나타낼 수 있다. 항공사 주식의 경우, 이러한 내부자 움직임은 수요 변동, 연료 비용 상승 및 팬데믹 이후 회복이라는 불안정한 환경을 항공사가 탐색하는 가운데 특히 관련성이 있을 수 있다.
투자자들에게 이러한 내부자 거래를 추적하는 것은 업계 리더들이 미래의 위험과 기회를 어떻게 인식하는지를 파악할 수 있는 중요한 시각을 제공하며, 이는 점점 더 변동성이 큰 시장에서 그들의 전략을 안내할 수 있다.

항공사들은 도약할까, 아니면 정체될까? 내부자 거래가 말하는 업계의 미래

미국의 노동절 연휴 기간 항공료는 하락했지만 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/08/40659277/labor-day-getaway-travelers-hit-the-road-as-gas-prices-drop">기타 여행 비용</a>은 1년 전보다 인상되었다.
여행 앱 호퍼(Hopper)의 데이터에 따르면 미국 국내 항공료는 작년 노동절 항공료에 비해 5%, 2019년 수준에 비해 17% 감소한 것으로 나타났다.
호퍼에 따르면, "항공사의 시장 공급량이 많고 작년에 비해 현재 시장의 연료 가격이 더 유리하기 때문에 가격이 낮다."
또 다른 소식통인 미국 자동차 협회(AAA)는 이번 노동절 주말 국내 항공료가 1년 전보다 2% 저렴해 미국 국내 왕복 항공권 평균 가격이 780달러라고 밝혔다. AAA에 따르면 국제선 항공편의 평균 비용은 1,370달러로 8% 저렴하다.
이번 노동절 주말에 국내 자동차 렌트 비용은 작년에 비해 16% 저렴해 며칠 예약 시 평균 560달러지만, 국제 자동차 렌트 비용은 며칠 렌트 시 평균 1,100달러로 21% 더 비싸다고 AAA가 밝혔다.

노동절 크루즈 요금도 상승했다.
국내 도시에서 출발하는 크루즈는 이번 노동절 주말에 작년에 비해 5% 더 비싸며 평균 비용은 2,600달러라고 AAA 데이터에 나와 있다.
이번 노동절 주말에는 국제 도시에서 출발하는 크루즈 요금이 작년에 비해 17% 더 비싸다. 국제 크루즈의 평균 비용은 3,500달러이다.
육상 여행을 선택한 여행객들이 머물 곳도 상승했다고 AAA 데이터가 전했다.
이번 노동절 주말 국내 호텔 가격은 지난해보다 7% 더 비싸다. 며칠 밤 숙박의 평균 가격은 560달러이며, 해외 호텔의 동일한 예약에 대한 평균 가격은 2% 상승한 600달러이다.
가격 변화: 항공사, 크루즈 회사 및 호텔 주식들은 대부분 금요일 늦게 휴일 주말을 앞두고 상승했다.

美 노동절 여행객들이 항공사, 크루즈, 렌트카, 호텔에 지불하는 요금 및 기업들의 주가

S&amp;P 500 기업들 중 약 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39769910/goldman-sachs-q2-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-investment-banking-fees-up-21-hikes-dividend" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">14%가 6월 분기 실적을 발표</a>했으며, 더 넓은 지수를 구성하는 기업들의 혼합 실적 성장률은 여전히 ​​양호하다. 이번 주에는 기술 보고 시즌이 공식적으로 시작될 것이며, 이는 최근 주에 가파른 하락세를 보인 시장의 향방을 잠재적으로 결정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 사건: 기술주의 실적 시즌은 지난주 칩 장비 제조업체 ASML 홀딩 N.V.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)의 실적 발표로 와만하게 시작되었다. 이 회사의 주가는 약한 3분기 전망과 중국 칩 금지를 둘러싼 지정학적 우려로 인해 약 16% 하락했다. 넷플릭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)의 지침은 투자자들을 실망시켰지만 증권사 측 분석가들이 결과에 열광하면서 주가는 크게 하락하지 않았다.
투자자들은 뱅크 오브 아메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), 모건 스탠리(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) 및 골드만삭스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) 등 나머지 대형 은행들의 실적 보고서에 환호했다. 투자 은행 사업의 반등과 강력한 트레이딩 매출이 은행들의 매출을 강화하는 데 도움이 되었다.
팩트셋(FactSet)의 최신 실적 전망 조사 <a href="https://advantage.factset.com/hubfs/Website/Resources%20Section/Research%20Desk/Earnings%20Insight/EarningsInsight_071924.pdf">보고서</a>에 따르면 이들 기업 중 80%가 예상보다 높은 주당 이익을 보고했는데, 이는 5년 평균인 77%와 비교된다. 평균 상승 여력은 약 5.5%이지만, 이는 5년 평균 상승률 8.6%보다 낮다.
관련 정보: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">지금 가장 핫한 기술주</a>
실적 트렌드: 팩트셋에 따르면 S&amp;P 500 기업들의 2분기 혼합 실적 증가율은 현재 9.7%로 전주의 9.1%보다 높아진 것으로 추정된다. 이 추정치가 달성되면 분기 실제 성장률은 2021년 4분기 이후 보고된 전년 동기 대비 가장 높은 성장률을 기록할 것이라고 덧붙였다. 2분기 역시 4분기 연속 성장을 기록할 것으로 보인다.
S&amp;P 500 11개 부문 중 8개 부문이 전년 동기 대비 실적 성장을 기록할 것으로 예상되며, 그 중 통신 서비스, 의료, IT, 금융 부문 4개 부문이 두 자릿수 실적 성장을 기록할 가능성이 높다. 반면, 소재 업종을 중심으로 3개 업종의 실적 감소가 예상된다.
이번 주의 이슈: 이번 주에는 다우 30 지수 구성요소 7개를 포함해 S&amp;P 500 기업 138개 기업들의 실적 보고서가 나올 것이라고 팩트셋의 보고서가 밝혔다. 이번 주의 실적 발표 목록에는 통신, 자동차, 철강, 칩, 주택 건설, 방위, 항공 및 기술 산업의 기업들이 포함된다.
테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)와 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)은 S&amp;P 500과 나스닥 지수에서 높은 비중을 차지하고 있어 주목받는 기업들 중 하나이다. 테슬라는 전년 동기 대비 주당 순이익이 91센트에서 62센트로 급격히 감소할 것으로 예상되는 반면, 매출은 훨씬 완만하게 0.80% 감소한 247억 3천만 달러를 기록했을 수 있다. 이 이익성에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 일론 머스크의 회사가 어려운 수요 환경에서 생산량을 늘리기 위해 의존해 온 가격 인하에서 비롯된다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39810457/as-tesla-stock-bounces-back-fund-manager-says-elon-musk-led-company-offers-good-set">분석가들과 펀드 매니저들은</a> 회사가 해당 분기에 양호한 납품 실적을 보고한 후 낙관적이다. 하반기에도 반전이 있을 것으로 예상된다.
알파벳의 실적은 AI를 활용한 거대 기업들 중 최초로 분기별 실적을 발표하는 기업이기 때문에 중요하며, 이는 나머지 기업들의 실적 속도를 정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 지수가 사상 최고치에서 후퇴하면서 주식시장이 큰 타격을 입었다. Benzinga Pro 데이터에 따르면 나스닥 100 지수의 성과를 추적하는 지수인 Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)는 금요일 0.89% 하락한 475.24달러에 마감했다. 이 ETF는 7월 10일에 도달한 502.96달러의 사상 최고치보다 낮게 거래되고 있다. SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)도 금요일 0.66% 하락한 548.99달러로 마감했다.
이번 주 주목할 만한 실적 발표 기업은 다음과 같다:
