Bull Market Takes Flight For Airline Stocks As Rosier 2024 Outlook Clears Wall Street's Last Hurdles
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Airline stocks have entered a bull market phase, with the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS) surging over 20% since early November. Despite a mid-July dip due to rising oil prices and economic slowdown fears, the sector shows a 40% discount from pre-pandemic levels, indicating room for growth. Hawaiian Holdings (HA) led the rally with a 220% increase after Alaska Air Group's (ALK) takeover. Other contributors include Southwest Airlines (LUV), Delta Air Lines (DAL), American Airlines (AAL), Sun Country Airlines (SNCY), Frontier Group Holdings (ULCC), and Embraer (ERJ). The International Air Travel Association (IATA) forecasts a positive outlook for 2024, with strong demand and revenue growth, although profitability challenges persist.
