By Jon Sindreu Boeing’s 737 MAX model just doesn’t seem able to outfly bad publicity. Even if the latest problem is just with one specific plane, its manufacturers will pay the price of greater scrutiny. Early Monday, futures markets pointed to an 8% fall in Boeing’s share price as investors tried to assess the potential damage inflicted by a door plug that blew out of a jet flown by Alaska Airlines on Friday evening. The Federal Aviation Administration grounded planes Saturday and ordered airlines to conduct inspections. The MAX has become one of the most infamous jet models in the history of commercial aviation. Most of the planes were grounded for nearly two years after 2019 following two deadly crashes. Since the ban on flying them was lifted, a raft of manufacturing glitches have delayed Boeing’s plans to increase production. Just this past December, the company warned about potential loose

The Dallas-based company is likely to report its full year 2023 earnings at around half of the Street’s expected $3+ per share, while 2024 could prove to be a “transitional year,” according to Bernstein. The Southwest Airlines Analyst: Bernstein’s David Vernon downgraded the rating for Southwest Airlines from Market Perform to Underperform, while raising the price target from $77 to $90. The Southwest Airlines Thesis: The 2024 outlook could be worse than anticipated as the company is facing several headwinds, Vernon said in the downgrade note. The analyst mentioned the challenges as: New pilot contract Secular cost headwinds Fleet constraints “that are adding to network costs” Shifts in demand “that are stressing the companies traditional point to point network model” “These are proving to be difficult to offset with the current lack

Lululemon’s 4Q Guidance Boost Seen As Positive Despite Share Retreat

Lululemon’s upgrade to its 4Q outlook was perhaps a little modest for investors, with the stock edging 0.6% lower. While the athletic apparel brand has a history of beating its 4Q expectations, William Blair analysts Sharon Zackfia and Dylan Carden say the shares retreated due to “revised fourth-quarter outlook only slightly ahead of consensus and a 30%-plus gain in the stock over the last three months.” However, William Blair maintains its outperform rating thanks to its relatively high earnings visibility “courtesy of a higher-income customer demographic and strong brand momentum (strongest global market share gainer in adult active apparel industry over the past four years) and significant opportunity to grow domestic brand awareness.”
