Will Southwest Airlines Stock Gain Momentum In The Near-Term?
The shares of Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) have observed an uptick in recent weeks largely assisted by strong domestic travel demand. Per the short-term energy outlook by EIA, benchmark oil prices are likely to trend downward during the latter half of the year, but uncertainty from the Russia-Ukraine war remains. However, Southwest Airlines’ bottom line is unlikely to observe a dent from high fuel prices for a couple of quarters as the company has a hedge position on almost 60% of the targeted fuel consumption for 2022. Per the Trefis machine learning engine which analyses historical stock price movements, LUV stock has a 60% chance of a rise over the next month (21 trading days).
