Gekko Brief

AI summaryOct 12 close

JetBlue shares fell to a new 52-week low of $3.86 this week before closing at $3.62, extending a run of consecutive daily losses. The move follows a Susquehanna downgrade that lowered its price target, continued weak analyst sentiment with an average "Reduce" rating, and reports of unusually high put option buying, with traders acquiring 46,094 put options, a 47% increase over average daily volume. Separately, JetBlue is noted as returning to Charlotte Douglas International Airport after Spirit's departure, and coverage has flagged JetBlue's LaGuardia position as a factor in its financial outlook.

At $3.62, JetBlue trades below both its 50-day average of $4.77 and its 200-day average of $5.06, with the 50-day below the 200-day. The stock sits at its 52-week low and 52-week high of $6.62, with one-month, three-month, six-month and one-year returns all negative. The GekkoIndex reads 76.1, placing it in the Buying zone, and price stands 23.8% below the Gekko Fair Value of $4.75.

JetBlue next reports earnings on 27 October 2026, 15 days away and inside a typical 20-trading-day holding window; its last report showed an actual EPS of -0.66 against an estimate of -0.70, with a 5.3% reaction, and six beats in the last eight quarters. Seasonality from this point in the calendar has averaged a 0.6% gain over the next 20 trading days across 5 years, rising in 3 of them.

Last earnings call, Jul 28, 2026 AI summary

What they said
JetBlue reported Q2 2026 results with RASM beating the midpoint of revised guidance amid elevated fuel prices and weather disruptions. The company achieved nearly 50% fuel recapture in Q2, exceeding their 40% target. Fort Lauderdale expansion is showing strong customer demand. Management reinstated full-year guidance after withdrawing it last quarter, citing resilient demand and effective commercial actions.
Guidance
JetBlue expects full-year 2026 operating margin of approximately -2% to -5%, with second half operating margin roughly 3.5 points better year-over-year. Management targets 100% fuel recapture by early 2027, maintaining conservative capacity given geopolitical uncertainty and fuel volatility.
