Boeing | BA | Long at $180Boeing NYSE:BA is getting bad press (and rightfully so) due to quality/safety assurance issues, but I view this dip as a buying opportunity for future returns. The company expects profitability beyond 2024 and once that happens, I expect this ticker to soar. There may be some pains in the near-term, but long-term, it is in my buy zone at $180.00.
Target #1 = $260
Target #2 = $335
Target #3 = $414

Capital A's Impressive Turnaround: Post-Pandemic Success StoryCapital A Berhad has not just bounced back post-pandemic but is soaring high above its regional competitors. The latest stock performance data tells an exciting story of resilience, innovation, and strategic brilliance. Let’s dive into how Capital A’s turnaround has translated into exceptional performance, not just in the skies and on the balance sheet, but in the financial markets as well.
A Closer Look at the Numbers
The chart below shows the stock performance of several major airlines in the region over recent months. Here are the airlines included:
Capital A Berhad (MYX: CAPA)
AirAsia X (AAX)
IndiGo (INDIGO)
Qantas Airways (QAN)
Singapore Airlines (SIA)
Cebu Pacific (CEB)
VietJet Air (VJC)
Capital A Leads the Pack
Among these airlines, Capital A stands out with an impressive performance. Here’s what the chart reveals:
Remarkable Growth: Capital A’s stock saw a significant rise, peaking around 36% before settling at approximately 28%. This growth is a testament to the company’s strong recovery and strategic initiatives post-pandemic.
Stability Amidst Volatility: Unlike many of its competitors, Capital A has maintained a steady upward trend, showing resilience against market fluctuations.
Outshining Peers: While AirAsia X also performed well initially, it didn’t sustain its momentum as effectively as Capital A. IndiGo showed a similar decline. This indicates that Capital A's strategies are yielding better investor confidence and stability.
Regional Competitors: Airlines like Qantas, Singapore Airlines, and Cebu Pacific have seen moderate gains but haven’t matched Capital A’s impressive growth, hovering between 0% to 10%.
Underperforming Rivals: VietJet Air displayed minimal gains or even losses, highlighting the challenges faced by some airlines in the current market environment.
The Secrets Behind Capital A’s Success
Several factors are driving Capital A’s stellar performance:
Diversification and Innovation: Capital A has expanded beyond traditional airline operations into digital businesses and logistics. This diversification provides a buffer against market risks specific to the aviation sector.
Efficient Cost Management: Known for its cost-efficient operations, Capital A continues to emphasize cost management, which supports its strong financial performance.
Adaptive Strategies: The ability to swiftly adapt to changing market conditions, such as fluctuating fuel prices and varying travel demand, has been crucial.
Strong Brand and Network: Capital A enjoys strong brand loyalty and recognition within the ASEAN region, bolstered by an extensive route network ensuring steady passenger traffic.
Looking Ahead
Capital A’s trajectory suggests a promising future if current strategies and market conditions remain favorable. However, potential challenges like economic downturns, regulatory changes, and geopolitical tensions could impact the aviation sector.
Conclusion
Capital A Berhad's post-pandemic turnaround is a remarkable success story. Its impressive stock performance against regional peers underscores the effectiveness of its business strategies and market positioning. As the aviation industry continues to recover, Capital A’s innovative approaches and adaptive strategies will likely keep it soaring high. This success extends beyond the cabin and balance sheet, making waves in the financial markets and offering a beacon of optimism for stakeholders and investors alike.

Delta vs Spirit vs America AirlinesFirst idea post so still figuring out these controls but here we go...
Airlines can be very sticky and annoying stocks that go through very odd cycles. But the fundamentals of the companies can be even weirder since the operate in a highly regulated market that was supposedly de regulated. I was considering going long spirit since the merger breakdown has occurred. But as I was looking deeper into the company to see if a long trade could be justified I found something very interesting that might make a better trade.
My original idea for going long spirit despite the rising debt on a year over year basis is that they still use some of the most desirable aircraft on the market a mix of narrow body a320 neo variants that airbus cannot make enough of and some kind of buyout or asset based valuation would make sense for the airline. Basically looking at the value of the airline the same way jet blue did but also adding the value of its west coast gates along with its aircraft value and plethora of A320 trained pilots. I started looking at other airlines and financials to see if it would make sense compared to other airlines. I think I found a trade that makes more sense but is based more on fundamental math of the company than a gut feeling like with spirit.
Tell me what you guys think
NASDAQ:AAL and NYSE:DAL 2 of the largest US airlines have both been beaten down by the pandemic and increased gas prices. Spirit was not able to come back to positive margin in the last few reports but AAL and DAL have. Except DAL is trading at a PE ratio of between 5 and 6.5 while American is near 13.5 yet they have a margin of less than 5 % while Deltas margin is closing to 13%. Still doing research to see what can explain this huge difference in PE and margin between the 2 companies. Do you think Delta is a good play with this observation??
$BA $195 incoming? Seems to be repeating itself as do most stocks. Tried to simplify it as much as I could for those that can pick up what I'm putting down. Gaps seem to show strong resistance at the moment so I will wait for BA to make an attempt at the $210 gap above before entering 2/9 $210 and $200 puts for a confident swing to lows, take profit, and perhaps roll them after another test of the 20EMA. Thats the plan.
JBLU Bullish after JetBlue - Spirit merger was BlockedJetBlue's $3.8 billion buyout of Spirit Airlines was blocked by a judge, citing a threat to competition!
After the news, SAVE went down, while JBLU surged from $4.54 to $5.45! However, today it continued the 6 month downtrend and closed at $4.68.
This might seem like business as usual on Wall Street, except for the presence of some aggressive blocks of calls with strike prices of $6 and $7 on JetBlue's options chain, across multiple expiration dates!
The most commonly chosen expiration date was February 16, following the earnings release. This leads me to believe that we might witness excellent results from the upcoming earnings report.
JBLU was trading at $9.45 just 6 months ago. Its decline was not due to fundamentals but rather on the potential buyout of SAVE. Now that the deal is off the table, I expect JBLU to rise back up.
I'm extremely bullish on JBLU ahead of earnings!

LONG AIRLINES ACDVF, AC, JETS, AAL, DALTSX:AC Technical and Fundamental Reasons for going Long AC Air Canada, and AAL and JETS and DAL:
We are in a tightening 3 Month range in all airline names (And even in broader markets)
Given how we have come straight down from the highs, a multi week bounce with legs is likely and positioning in here would be a strong Risk / Reward entry.
While DXY the dollar is set for monthly consolidation along with oil (Despite the knee jerk reaction to Israel which will likely fade. Markets are holding up well and have priced in peak rates with yields all coming down sharply after capitulating last week.
While DXY OIL and Yields drop.
Airlines are huge laggards (and after good selling and bad news being well priced in) it is time for major bounces. It is a highly volatile sector so a big drop the way it did warrants a big pop.
With capitulation following analyst downgrades, and company outlook drops to adjust estimates for rising fuel costs and labor costs. The discounts of this bad news is very well priced in and has capitulated with huge volume climaxes Monday after the Israel situation over the weekend.
As with 9/11 and Russia invasion, the knee jerk reaction last about a week, before the entire dip is re bought up. Assuming no escalation in Iran to push oil even higher, airlines will care most about earnings and forward guidance to see demand outlook for Q4 and 2024 company guidance.
With DAL reporting Thursday and more coming in next few weeks, I'd expect that the reported results for Q3 are very strong, and more importantly that Q4 and 2024 outlooks won't be as bad as markets are pricing. Resulting in a swift 10-15% bounce on many airline names.
Again: The bad news is very well priced in, and markets will begin to find good value for entrance pre earnings and post earnings as we are very oversold and surprised to the upside with earnings that weren't even close to as bad as markets are expecting as well as strong forward guidance.
NASDAQ:AAL
TSX:AC
AMEX:JETS
NYSE:DAL
AAL - airlines are beat upAirlines have been decimated especially when you factor in the price of oil climbing over the last few weeks.
Margins being squeezed each day!
Long term support is being tagged in a very oversold 8 week selloff.
This could be a good R/R set up on the long side for a quick technical bounce.
LUV Weekly Chart Showing Heavy DemandSouthwest Airlines has been going through some turbulence with recent flight rearrangement issues, but for the most part has smoothened out all issues regarding flights. Air Travel Demand is still thriving and growing exponentially, respectively.
Southwest is a leader among a few others in Airline Stocks as they have High-Quality Management & Great Financial Strategy (e.g. Fuel hedging)
The stock has performed quite poorly since its post-COVID peak of $65 and has retreated nearly 50% while remaining a sound financial base. Southwest has been hovering around this major demand zone at the $30 area. As highlighted in green, this demand zone has repeatedly pushed LUV back up higher, and on this weekly chart, we can see a triple bottom starting to push back higher from this $31 level.
This weekly chart prevails a strong Risk/Reward towards Southwest as a swing-trade or LT investment.
Southwest has remained a fundamentally strong & sound company as they are the first American Airline Co. to reinstate their dividend. EPS projections are very optimistic for the next several years as demand increases & costs decrease. It would also be likely to see a rotation into the travel / Airlines sector as it has been quite low and non-volatile thru the past half year. Recent PT cuts lead me to believe Funds could be loading up
Conclusion: LONG NYSE:LUV through commons
Option Play: Credit-Spread : Jan 19, '24 Puts $30-$27.5p
