Southwest Airlines (LUV) is anticipated to exceed earnings expectations, prompting speculation about whether investments should be made. It has been given a buy rating from Evercore ISI and is expected to report Q1 2025 earnings results soon, coupled with a discussion on its Q1 2025's financial results on April 24. Yet, LUV stock has seen a downturn recently due to legal problems, cost-cutting operations, a pilot scandal, and declining demand, impacting investor confidence. The company has undergone structural changes, including baggage fees and corporate overhead staff reductions, sparking concerns over its outlook. Despite some criticisms, there are still some positive bets on the growth potential of LUV. These include implementation of new business strategies that have been praised by analysts and appointments of new executive members. However, the company has also faced a number of issues such as lawsuits, allegations of breaches of fiduciary duties, and near-miss accidents causing some investors to be wary. The radical shift in free-baggage policy has led to mixed reactions, with some expecting a backlash. The company has also been undergoing discussions with the DOJ over a flight delay lawsuit.
