$ALK Going long here
Q1 2026 Guidance & Earnings Outlook:
• Guidance Maintained: Alaska is reiterating its Q1 guidance (previously set at an adjusted loss of
$0.50 to
$1.50 per share).
• Performance Strength: Minicucci noted that if not for specific "conflicts" in recent weeks (referring to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East), the airline likely would have exceeded the midpoint of its original Q1 guidance.
• Demand as a "Bright Spot": He emphasized that consumer and corporate demand remains very strong, consistent with reports from other major carriers like Delta and American.
