Alaska Air is a quality airline play
Sarah Ketterer recommends Alaska Air as one of the best-run U.S. airlines, trading at a low multiple and poised to recover as travel demand remains strong. She sees it as a value shelter in a concentrated market.

Alaska Air confident in $10 EPS despite fuel.
Despite high jet fuel prices causing a $600M impact in Q2 and leading to pulled full-year guidance, Alaska Air has a strong balance sheet with $3B liquidity and $20B unencumbered assets, allowing it to weather the storm short-term. Operationally, the company is performing well with on-time performance, new international routes, and integration with Hawaiian, and the CEO is focused on achieving $10 EPS by 2027, which he believes is possible if fuel prices moderate.

ALK's loyalty program (valued at $12B) has fundamental security flaws, including vulnerable session cookies and ineffective password resets, leading to widespread mile theft. Public exposure or financial fallout from this ongoing, unpatched breach could severely damage consumer trust and crater the stock, which only has a $4.5B market cap. Purchase ALK puts to capitalize on the market pricing in this massive cybersecurity liability. The market may ignore the vulnerability, or ALK could quietly patch the exploit before a major PR disaster occurs.

"American Airlines or Jetblue or Alaska. All three of those airlines have more sensitivity in their model to fuel prices for various reasons." These airlines lack adequate fuel hedges or physical refinery assets, making their profit margins highly vulnerable to the current spike in oil prices. SHORT because their unhedged exposure to rising fuel costs will severely compress margins and earnings. A rapid end to the Middle East conflict causing oil prices to crash would disproportionately benefit these unhedged airlines.
