Southwest Airlines: Braced For Fuel Shocks, Not Priced For Them
Summary Southwest Airlines Co. faces headwinds from sustained high oil prices driven by geopolitical conflict, pressuring margins and necessitating fare hikes. LUV’s balance sheet remains robust, with over $3B in cash and manageable debt, offering resilience compared to weaker peers.

I view LUV as fairly valued near $38 and would only consider buying below $29.09 per share, given cyclical risks and limited near-term upside. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
