Certain Major US Airlines Could Miss Third-Quarter Bottom-Line Views Amid Fuel Headwinds, UBS Says

Certain major US airlines could miss market expectations for their third-quarter earnings amid higher fuel prices and operational disruptions from bad weather, UBS Securities said in a note e-mailed Thursday.The brokerage expects Delta Air Lines (DAL), United Airlines (UAL) and American Airlines' (AAL) bottom-lines for the September quarter to fall short of Wall Street's views, while Southwest Airlines (LUV) and Alaska Air Group (ALK) are seen delivering beats."We see modest downside to (third-quarter earnings per share) for some players on the back of higher fuel for (the third quarter versus) guidance, as well as irregular operations from uneven weather in July/Aug," UBS analysts Atul Maheswari and Thomas Wadewitz said in a note to clients.US crude oil prices surged past $100 per barrel Thursday, a day after global benchmark Brent breached the same threshold amid intensifying tensions between the US and Iran. The renewed flare-up has sparked fears of prolonged supply disruptions.Still, airline demand seems have stayed strong so far in the third quarter despite additional rounds of price hikes last month amid higher fuel prices, UBS said."We think these price increases have been more localized by markets as opposed to the broad-based increases that the industry witnessed in the immediate aftermath of the Iran war," Maheswari and Wadewitz wrote.Higher fuel prices could further dent airlines' fourth-quarter earnings, but a 16% drop in the US Global Jets ETF -- which groups the major US airlines -- since the start of August shows investors have already priced in the impact, according to the note.UBS slashed its 2026 and 2027 bottom-line outlooks for the major airlines it covers, largely to factor in higher fuel prices. The brokerage also lowered its respective price targets on the stocks of United, Delta Air, Alaska Air, Southwest, American and JetBlue Airways (JBLU).While positioning was net short on the sector roughly a month ago, it is now likely closer to net neutral amid a pullback in stocks, according to the note."We have increasingly fielded questions on what could be the potential silver lining from upcoming airlines presentations next week," the analysts wrote. "On that point, it's possible there might be upside to consensus (fourth-quarter revenue per available seat mile/revenue) given strong demand and the recent price increases."UBS named United, Southwest, and Alaska Air as its "top near-term picks."Price: $78.17, Change: $-0.58, Percent Change: -0.74%

JetBlue Balance Sheet Risks Could Grow as Hormuz Reopening Hopes Dim, Seaport Says in Downgrade

JetBlue Airways' (JBLU) balance sheet woes could worsen as the Strait of Hormuz appears unlikely to reopen anytime soon, potentially prolonging jet fuel volatility, Seaport Research Partners said Monday.The 60-day memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran aimed at ending their conflict expired Monday, with no indications that it would be extended. Control of the Strait of Hormuz has proved to be a key sticking point in recent diplomatic efforts to reach a truce. The narrow waterway is the world's most important chokepoint for crude flows.While jet fuel volatility amid the Hormuz uncertainty affects all airlines, it is particularly more concerning for JetBlue, which is already heavily indebted, according to Seaport senior analyst Daniel McKenzie. The company had total debt of $8.48 billion as of June 30, it reported late last month."To be sure, jet fuel volatility is a challenge for all, but it's a disproportionate risk to (JetBlue) given elevated debt levels that are at risk of moving higher before they move lower," McKenzie said in a note to clients Monday. "If oil spikes from increased hostilities with Iran and (JetBlue) is forced to boost debt to fund losses, its balance sheet could become too indebted and shares could ultimately become worthless."Seaport downgraded its rating on the JetBlue stock to neutral from buy and withdrew its price target, just months after upgrading the stock on the assumption that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen."Greater geopolitical risk implies a lower valuation multiple, hence our view investors will likely get a lower entry point," McKenzie said Monday. "(Fourth-quarter) schedules are now firming up and at the industry level, supply appears modestly higher (versus the third quarter). Hence our concern that revenue upside for (JetBlue) -- and others -- could be limited at a time when it may need to boost ticket prices."JetBlue shares were down 6.2% in afternoon trade. American Airlines Group (AAL) shares were 1.6% lower, while Southwest Airlines (LUV), United Airlines (UAL) and Delta Air Lines (DAL) were also in the red.US President Donald Trump warned of an attack on Oman if it "gets in the way" of efforts in the Strait of Hormuz, news outlets reported Monday."The industry pricing backdrop remains solid, which leads us to conclude (JetBlue) surprises on (2026 second-half) revenue, however, the geopolitical backdrop worsens," McKenzie wrote in the note.Price: $5.32, Change: $-0.33, Percent Change: -5.84%

Top Midday Stories: Nvidia Enters Into $500 Billion Partnership With SK Group; AstraZeneca Earnings Top Estimates

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were down in late-morning trading Monday, as oil prices fell amid a pause in the hostilities between US and Iran over the weekend.In company news, Nvidia (NVDA) has agreed to expand its partnership with South Korean conglomerate SK Group with a more than $500 billion artificial intelligence infrastructure initiative. The deal announced Saturday includes a long-term partnership between Nvidia and SK Hynix (SKHY) that will provide the US technology giant a stable supply of next-generation AI memory. They will also jointly co-develop next-generation AI memory solutions that include high-bandwidth memory chips intended for AI training, AI agents and physical AI applications. Nvidia shares were down 5.1% around midday, while SK Hynix shares were down 8.8%.Further, Nvidia is in talks to provide a roughly $250 billion financial backstop for Microsoft (MSFT)-backed OpenAI as part of a massive data center project in southern Ohio that could cost more than $500 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter. The guarantees would help OpenAI secure financing to lease a 10-gigawatt campus being developed by SoftBank-owned SB Energy. Nvidia is also discussing financing for up to $350 billion in AI chip purchases, according to the report.AstraZeneca (AZN) reported Q2 core earnings Monday of $2.63 per diluted share, up from $2.17 a year earlier and above the FactSet consensus analyst estimate of $2.49. Q2 revenue was $15.38 billion, up from $14.46 billion a year ago and below the FactSet consensus of $15.43 billion. For 2026, the company continues to expect core EPS to rise by a low double-digit percentage and revenue to grow by a mid-to-high single-digit percentage. Analysts are looking for $10.24 and $63.18 billion, respectively. The company also raised its interim dividend by 3 cents to $1.06 per share. AstraZeneca shares were up 1.2%.United Airlines (UAL) pitched a merger deal to Delta Air Lines (DAL) last year, but the talks fizzled out without a deal after Delta declined to pursue the proposal, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing sources familiar with the matter. Sources told the news outlet that discussions reached preliminary due diligence, where Delta Air Lines management assessed the potential merger. The proposal came before President Donald Trump's return to office, when companies anticipated a more favorable regulatory backdrop for major mergers, according to the report. United Airlines shares were up 1%, while Delta Air Lines shares were up 1.5%.Baker Hughes (BKR) reported Q2 adjusted earnings Sunday of $0.64 per diluted share, up from $0.63 a year earlier and above the FactSet consensus analyst estimate of $0.49.

Baker Hughes shares were up 5.8%.DeepSeek has suspended its second fundraising round after informing some prospective investors that investment agreements would not be signed as expected, Bloomberg reported Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.
