Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 39 days.
The thesis — published October 2, 2025
The stock looks beaten down and may bounce soon. Simple signs show the price is very stretched and sitting below its recent average price. A major bank just praised a peer airline, hinting domestic travel may be firming. This is a short-term trade with a clear line near $10, since fuel costs and the economy can swing results. A quick push back over recent average prices could set up a 3 month return to its old trading range.
Primary drivers
- Price looks beaten down; signs suggest it may rebound in the near term
- A respected bank upgraded a peer, hinting stronger domestic travel demand
- Investor mood is upbeat even while profits are uneven, adding volatility
- Travel season and a steadier economy could give airlines a short boost
