The shares of Alaska Air Group (NYSE: ALK) have lost 20% in value since mid-April largely due to skyrocketing inflation and the Fed’s counter measure of 50bps hike in funds rate – triggering concerns of a slowdown in discretionary spending. As highlighted in our earlier article, Fuel Hedges To Assist Alaska Air Group’s Earnings In 2022, the company’s hedge position on 50% of the expected fuel requirement for H1 2022 is likely to support the bottom line. In Q1, hedges lowered the company’s fuel cost from $2.91/gallon to $2/gallon. Moreover, strong passenger numbers at TSA checkpoints are a positive indicator for the top line. Per the Trefis machine learning engine which analyzes historical stock price movements, ALK stock has a 51% chance of a rise over the next month (21 trading days).
