Southwest Airlines On Wednesday, the profits and revenue achieved in the second quarter that the Wall Street estimates did not pass, but travel question has stabilized and other airlines have repeated in the past few weeks.

The airline also announced a new buyback of 2 billion US dollars.

In the second quarter, Southwest, compared to the expectations of Wall Street, executed LSEG consensus estimates:

• Win each share: 43 cents are expected compared to 51 cents
• Revenue: 7.24 billion US dollars expected compared to 7.3 billion US dollars

The airline withdrew its guidance of 2025 in April. In economic uncertainties in the United States, similar to other airlines, Southwest said that he would reduce flights while outside the peak times when the airlines were demonstrated with a weaker domestic trip after the beginning of the year. CEO Bob Jordan announced CNBC last month that there were more discounters this summer, which is generally the most busy travel time of the year.

Southwest expects sales with the third quarter, a measuring device to be the pricing of the airlines, between a decrease from 2% to 2% in the same July to September period of 2024.

The airline has overtaken its business model, the ceiling guidelines such as two free, opposing bags for all customers, and turned away from open seats to assigned seats and new boarding orders that the carrier announced on Monday.

Southwest said that the sale of the basic economy suffered from its website after starting the restrictive new tariffs in May. In the meantime, they have returned to “expected levels”, but it harms its income by half a point in the second quarter and would affect sales by about one point in the third quarter.
