Market Focus
Jun 12

On June 12, Alaska Air Group rose 7.75% in regular trading, trading at $45.44/share, with turnover of $68.95 million. The stock rebounded sharply following the previous session's 8.09% decline triggered by IATA's downward revision of global airline industry profit forecasts.

On June 11, the International Air Transport Association slashed its global airline net profit forecast to $23 billion from approximately $41 billion previously, citing an expected 39% year-over-year surge in fuel expenditures to roughly $350 billion. However, Alaska Air's CFO had noted on June 7 that higher Q2 fares would offset most fuel cost increases, with enterprise bookings running 20-30% above year-ago levels. The company also projected record-breaking summer passenger volumes and expressed intent to resume earnings guidance at the Q2 earnings call once fuel prices stabilize.

Within the Airlines sector, the broader group rallied in tandem: American Airlines up 5.7%, United Airlines up 6.64%, Delta Air Lines up 5.19%, Southwest Airlines up 4.66%, and Joby Aviation up 3.89%.
