JetBlue Airways and Alaska Air Are Poised for Strong Profit Growth
The four largest U.S. airlines often steal the bulk of investors' attention. However, shares of Alaska Air (NYSE: ALK) and JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU) -- the No. 5 and No. 6 airlines in the country, respectively -- have also been strong performers during the past few years. Furthermore, Alaska Air and JetBlue have more growth potential than their larger rivals.
Both carriers posted somewhat disappointing results in the first quarter of 2017. However, they are on track to return to profit growth in the second quarter. The outlook for the rest of 2017 and beyond looks promising as well.
Alaska Air is on track to report strong EPS growth for the next few quarters. Image source: Alaska Air.
