Southwest Airlines (LUV) is in the midst of significant changes. This includes first-ever
layoffs and cost-cutting measures like the halt of new hires and promotions, implemented to increase margins and achieve higher
cost efficiency. Notwithstanding these measures, the company reported better-than-expected
profits and anticipates
strong travel demand, although they are cognizant of looming
inflationary pressures. The company continues its 'transformational plan' to improve internal operations and future growth. It also announced the addition of new board members and leadership changes, including a new
Chief Financial Officer. Amidst these fluctuations, LUV stock has experienced some
downgrades and concerns from investment firms while others like Goldman Sachs recognize it as a top growth investor stock. The airline currently faces an ongoing
federal lawsuit over chronically delayed flights.
Hedge funds have their eyes on LUV, and the stockβs performance varies according to different expertβs analyses.
