Citi analyst Stephen Trent maintains $Southwest Airlines (LUV.US)$ with a hold rating, and adjusts the target price from $28.25 to $31.5.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 57.0% and a total average return of 15.6% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Southwest Airlines (LUV.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The moderation of capacity growth in the airline industry is likely not complete, considering the current dynamics between supply and demand. This moderation, along with sustained positive demand and decreasing interest rates, suggests a favorable industry environment heading into the fourth quarter. Potential factors such as the upcoming elections, geopolitical tensions, and possible labor disputes could, however, introduce volatility in investor sentiment. The improved unit revenue and marginally reduced fuel costs in the third quarter underpin the positive outlook for the industry.
September may represent a pivotal moment for airline normalization, with a slight rationalization of U.S. domestic schedules contributing to an increase in Q3 RASM, according to an industry expert. This could create a foundation for U.S. airlines to experience sequential improvements in Q4 and carry momentum into 2025.

花旗分析師Stephen Trent維持$西南航空 (LUV.US)$持有評級，並將目標價從28.25美元上調至31.5美元。

此外，綜合報道，$西南航空 (LUV.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
考慮到當前供需之間的動態，航空業運力增長的放緩可能尚未完成。這種溫和態勢，加上持續的積極需求和利率的下降，表明第四季度將出現有利的行業環境。但是，即將舉行的選舉、地緣政治緊張局勢和可能的勞資糾紛等潛在因素可能會給投資者情緒帶來波動。第三季度單位收入的改善和燃料成本的略有下降支撐了該行業的樂觀前景。
一位行業專家表示，9月可能是航空公司正常化的關鍵時刻，美國國內航班的略有合理化導致了第三季度RASM的增加。這可能爲美國航空公司在第四季度經歷連續改善並將勢頭延續到2025年奠定基礎。
