Alaska Air's overall stock score reflects strong earnings call performance and positive technical trends, offset by valuation concerns and financial risks related to leverage and cash flow. The company's growth initiatives and international expansion are promising, but careful management of costs and debt is crucial to sustain this trajectory.

Alaska Air's Strong Q2 Performance and Strategic Initiatives Justify Buy Rating Despite Near-Term ChallengesWe will follow up with more commentary following the company’s 11:30am ET earnings call. 4Q25 outlook implies a revenue acceleration 2Q25 unit revenues of -0.6% were better than our/Street's -1.2%/-1.5% while the 3Q25 outlook of flat to up low-single digits is well aligned with our/Street’s +1.1%/+0.1%. The new 2025 EPS outlook of “over” $3.25 (BofAe/Street $3.89/$3.45) implies an acceleration in 4Q25 unit revenue growth despite tough comps. Other airlines assume a similar uptick, and ALK could benefit from more 4Q weighted synergies from the Hawaiian transaction, less competitive capacity in its key markets (likely down low-single digits year-over-year), and improving yields as domestic capacity is reduced. We expect management to highlight these items on the earnings call.
