Chris Sununu · Airlines for AmericaUncertain
JetBlue's revenues and bookings are up, but fuel costs are crushing margins.
Asked about including JetBlue in his list of strong airlines, Sununu says its revenues are up and bookings are up at almost all carriers, including JetBlue. He concedes that fuel prices are crushing airline economics. He says the carriers did not cause the fuel spike, which he ties to the Iran war, and that jet fuel and labor make up over half of costs. Despite that margin pressure, he argues people are still buying tickets, including through credit-card points and loyalty programs.
“Their revenues are up on all of them. Bookings are up on, I believe, almost all of them. It's just that fuel prices are up... all prices are crushing them.”at 43:31

Guy Adami · CNBCBullish
Short squeeze likely despite awful fundamentals; shares could trade in the high $3s to low $4s.
Short interest is about 30% of the float, roughly three days of trading volume by his estimate. The earnings reaction is a classic sell-the-news move, and shorts are likely to cover on the back of it. The fundamentals are awful, but the trade should work for a while, and the stock can trade in the high threes to low fours at some point. The stock is at an all-time low.
“which means this is a classic sell the news, and then shorts are going to cover on the back of this. The fundamentals are awful, but the trade is going to work here for a while.”at 41:55

JetBlue must reorganize; its debt load and weak profitability cannot be grown away.
JetBlue has the same problems airlines have repeatedly shown. Fuel costs are a recent shock, but the company's underlying issue is its debt load and profitability. It will have to reorganize, because it is not clear how it can grow its way out of the debt pile and profitability troubles.
“this is a company that's gonna have to reorganize. Right? Like, don't know how you kinda grow your way out of that debt pile and the troubles you're having from a profitability standpoint.”at 42:13

JetBlue is hit harder than peers due to the weakest airline balance sheet; debt concerns are a warning.
JetBlue is getting hit harder than the other airlines because it arguably has the weakest balance sheet in the sector. When a stock is falling on debt concerns, investors should be more cautious. The backdrop of Middle East tensions and high oil prices adds pressure.
“They're getting hit harder than the other airlines because they have, arguably the weakest balance sheet of the airline. So I think when you're coming into this and you're having all these tensions in The Middle East, oil prices are high.”at 42:27

JetBlue broke down technically; wait for momentum to improve rather than catch the falling knife.
JetBlue stock has broken down technically. Countertrend traders can find signals on the daily and monthly charts that suggest the selloff is overdone. But momentum has not improved yet, so waiting is the better choice to avoid catching a falling knife.
“Right now, I'd I'd wait for momentum to improve just as not to catch the falling knife.”at 42:54

Phil LeBeau · CNBCBearish
Jet fuel is JetBlue's key risk; prices staying high into next year would further pressure the airline.
LeBeau says the Q3 story is jet fuel. Jet fuel rose 57% year over year to $3.91 a gallon and drove a wider-than-expected loss. JetBlue recaptured 87% of the fuel cost through fares, but it expects fuel to average $4.64 a gallon in Q4, up 85%. Although JetBlue has $7.5B of unencumbered assets and still targets at least $1 of EPS in 2028, nobody knows where fuel prices will go. Airline CEOs told him that nobody has confidence fuel will cool off in Q1 or Q2. If fuel stays high in Q2 next year, that would add further pressure on JetBlue.
“But further out, the big question is gonna be jet fuel. If we're looking at jet fuel at this, let's say in the second quarter of next year... that's gonna put even further pressure on JetBlue.”at 22:58

JetBlue's loyalty-backed bonds at 40 cents signal the market expects it may not survive.
JetBlue's stock hit its lowest level since its 2002 IPO. Bonds backed by its loyalty-program receivables fell from about 80 cents on the dollar in early October to about 40 cents. Snider says that price is normally associated with severe financial distress. Because the bonds are collateralized by loyalty-program receivables, he argues the market is pricing in a collapse of the loyal customer base before maturity. He concedes markets can be wrong but says the bond price implies a high expectation that JetBlue will not be in business.
“40¢ on the dollar is a high expectation that JetBlue is not gonna be in business.”at 8:39
