  • 2 Lucrative Buys in the Aerospace Industry

    By Madhu Dube - May 1, 2013 | Tickers: LMT, RYAAY, BA

    Despite a difficult macroeconomic environment, the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry will continue developing game-changing technologies in 2013. This industry is becoming global as a result of growing travel demands in emerging markets, cut-throat competition and cost-saving opportunities.

    The defense segment will continue to see revenue declines due to decreased military spend in the US and Europe. On the other hand, the commercial-aircraft segment will observe an upside due more »

  • The Boeing Dreamliner Brings the New High

    By Austin Higgins - March 26, 2013 | Tickers: RYAAY, BA, UTX

    The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) has seen rising stock prices over the last two months. Investors are seeing greener pastures with the approval of the Dreamliner to resume active use. 

    The start of the year was challenging for Boeing’s operations, but not its stock price. The Federal Aviation Administration ordered all Boeing 787 Dreamliners be grounded temporarily on January 17th, 2013. This issue was due to a battery more »

  • Will This Airline Soar in 2013?

    By Leo Sun - March 15, 2013 | Tickers: JBLU, RYAAY, LUV, SAVE, LCC

    Discount airline Spirit Airlines (NASDAQ: SAVE) is both a survivor and a champion. When oil rose to $147 per barrel, many airlines struggled to survive. When the recession hit, many had their wings clipped. Spirit Airlines, however, defied those odds.

    Not only has Spirit been profitable for four years in a row, but its share price has more than doubled since its public debut in May 2011.

    The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) reached a new high this week. It closed just below this high at $84.75 on Wednesday March 13, 2013.

    The start of the year was challenging for Boeing’s operations, but not its stock price. The Federal Aviation Administration ordered all Boeing 787 Dreamliners be grounded temporarily on January 17th, 2013. This issue was due to a battery fire risk in the plane more »

  • Flanking the Price War

    By Mohammed Shaaban - December 6, 2012 | Tickers: DAL, RYAAY, LUV, LCC

    It should be no surprise to anyone if it were said that the airline industry is a lousy business to be in. Airlines have been shedding money left and right. It seems that every couple of years one hears of another Airline filing for protection from creditors. American Airlines just filed for bankruptcy last year, Delta (NYSE: DAL) the world's largest airline by fleet size and number of passengers more »

Recently, in an interview more »

  • Are Oil Prices Affecting Airlines Companies?

    By Lior Cohen - August 28, 2012 | Tickers: DAL, RYAAY, UAL

    The recent rise in oil prices raises concerns that it will reflect in airline ticket prices and, in turn, eventually affect major airlines companies' stocks. Up until now major airlines haven't performed well and continue to struggle. But did the recent rally in oil prices adversely affect major airlines companies? If not, what could be the reason for the low impact jet fuel, one of major inputs of an more »

  • A High Flying Airline

    By Andrés Cardenal - June 28, 2012 | Tickers: ALK, CPA, LFL, RYAAY, LUV

    Airlines are widely considered one of the toughest industries to invest in, and for good reasons: a very aggressive competitive landscape, overcapacity in many sectors and cost pressures from fuel and other factors have brought many well known airlines to an almost disastrous situation. This kind of scenario, however, is where opportunities to buy high quality companies at attractive valuations usually surge due to excessive investor pessimism.
