Hold -- Price 18.84 on July 7
by Jesup & Lamont

Alaska Airlines reported that June traffic fell by 2.6%, on 4.1% less capacity -- so that load factor rose by 1.2 points to 80.7% from 79.5%. Load factor was better than the flat-to-down by 1% we were forecasting. [Affiliated] Horizon Air reported that June traffic fell by 9.2% on a capacity decline of 10.8%, so that load factor rose by 1.4 points to 79.4% from 78% last year. We are estimating that pricing as measured in yield declined by 10%, the low end of the range for airlines, as Alaska Air is mostly a domestic airline, although we believe [it] was substantially hurt in May because of its exposure to Mexican routes. To counter the decline in bookings in Mexico, Alaska Airlines moved a significant amount of capacity to Hawaii, where we believe the company also had relatively low yields, as it was introducing new service. We are estimating [second-quarter earnings per share] of 36 cents, versus a profit of $1.74 last year, and below the consensus estimate of 46 cents ... . We're maintaining our Hold rating on ALK common, as we believe the stock is somewhat fairly valued, selling at more than 13 times estimated 2009 EPS of $1.34. Our 2QE-EPS of 36 cents is below the consensus, which has been declining during the quarter. Market cap: $683 million.

seems that ALK would be a good buyout for a larger carrier given its routes along the west coast. share price is very low with company buy back

Alaska Air Group recently announced a $100 million dollar buyback.

Alaska Airlines said it plans to test in-flight wireless internet service in one of its planes next spring and, if all goes well, intends to equip all of its planes with the technology. “We'll test a variety of pricing models" during next spring's test of the service, said spokeswoman Amanda Tobin Bielawski of Alaska, a unit of Seattle-based Alaska Air Group Inc.

The stock trades for 4.5x cash flow.

From Barron's 6-25-07:

Buy - Price 27.41 on June 19
by McAdams Wright Ragen
"We [recently] resumed coverage of ALK with Buy and 35 [target]. With shares having sold off more than 40% from last year's highs, we feel a large portion of recent negative developments are reflected in the airline's stock price. Investors seem uneasy with fundamental turbulence that includes: Moderating demand; ticket-pricing sustainability; competition on West Coast routes; greater fuel-cost exposure; and pilot-contract negotiations.

At the same time, Alaska's cost structure, excluding fuel, has seen improvement. An all-737 mainline fleet by the end of 2008 should reduce fuel and maintenance expenses while providing greater long-term earnings leverage tied to higher-gauge aircraft. Tough quarters may still be in store, [but] these entry points merit consideration...We view the idea as suitable for accounts willing to accommodate higher risk."
