TD Cowen upgraded Southwest (LUV) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $66, up from $50. The firm says airline demand is strengthening in 2026 against “disciplined” supply. TD expects Southwest to raise its guidance in March and that positive earnings revisions will drive the shares higher. The “rising industry tide” makes it challenging to see negative earnings revisions for Southwest this tear, contends the analyst.
