Zacks Investment Research lowered shares of Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) from a buy rating to a hold rating in a research report released on Thursday.
According to Zacks, “Shares of Southwest Airlines have gained more than 18% over the last three months, outperforming its industry. The improved third quarter 2018 unit revenue view, unveiled by the company in September, on the back of solid demand for air travel , contributed to the uptick. Southwest Airlines expects passenger revenues to be strong in the third quarter owing to impressive bookings and close-in yield trends. Detailed results should be out on Oct 25. Also, the company's efforts to reward shareholders are commendable. We are impressed with Southwest Airlines’ initiatives to expand its operations and modernize its fleet as well. Moreover, the new tax law, which reduces corporate tax rate significantly, is a huge positive for the company. High fuel costs are, however, concerning as they are limiting bottom-line growth. This is expected to continue in the third quarter as well. Labor costs too are expected to limit bottom-line growth.”
