Southwest Airlines: Hold Rating Amid Strategic Transition and Market ChallengesWe updated our estimates following 3Q25 results, 4Q25 guidance, and color on 2026. Consensus estimates for FY26 and FY27 appear fair. We do not view current initiatives as sufficient to close product & margin gap. Mgmt has teased announcements on lounges and new aircraft. Both are needed, but will take multiple years with backloaded payoff. Multiple should compress toward full-service range.

Southwest Airlines: Sell Rating Due to Cost Management Reliance and Revenue Growth ConcernsWe estimate LUV’s 4Q25 guidance for capacity (+6%), unit revenues (+2% at midpoint), unit costs (+2% at midpoint), and fuel ($2.25 at midpoint) implies 4Q25 EBIT/EPS of $531M/$0.82 compared to our $472M/$0.67 forecasts. However, LUV’s fuel assumption appears low to us given current Gulf coast and West coast jet fuel costs, and using our fuel forecast of $2.36 implies a much more in line outlook with EBIT/EPS of $478M/$0.74. Key question for call: how to bridge to 4Q revenue growth On tomorrow’s 10am ET conference call, we believe the >900bps of sequential revenue growth needs to be explained as the best sequential growth LUV has seen in any 4Q outside of the pandemic was +4.6% in 4Q23. Historically, LUV’s 4Q revenues grew +2% seasonally in 2018/2019 and were mostly down seasonally before then.
