Southwest (LUV) possesses the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.

Airline stocks have plummeted this year on recession and political fears. American Airlines is down roughly 42% YTD, Delta is down 31%, and United Airlines is down 30%. Are they value plays? I'm not sure. Despite trading for 5-7x earnings, a weakening economy suggests the need for utmost caution.

Southwest (LUV) saw its shares surge in the last session with trading volume being higher than average. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions may not translate into further price increase in the near term.

Travel stocks soared Wednesday afternoon after President Trump announced a 90-day pause on most of the sweeping tariffs that have been weighing on the stock market for the last week.

The carrier was one of the first companies to raise the economic alarm last month as it signaled that corporate and consumer confidence was dented in the first quarter due to macroeconomic uncertainty.

Wall Street is beginning to worry that the U.S. economy is headed toward a recession, and analysts are making calls on individual sectors based on those fears.

“Bookings from Europe to America are minus 25% for the summer," Accor hotel CEO, Sebastian Bazin said.

The stock market was experiencing its biggest one-day declines in several years on Thursday in the wake of President Trump's tariff announcements. Not only will the tariffs affect over 180 countries around the world, but for the most part, they were also far worse than experts had anticipated.
