Shares of the regional airline have appreciated by 21.14% over the course of the past month, outperforming the Transportation sector's gain of 2.83%, and the S&P 500's loss of 1.43%.
Analysts and investors alike will be keeping a close eye on the performance of SkyWest in its upcoming earnings disclosure. It is anticipated that the company will report an EPS of $2.85, marking a 2.06% fall compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $1.11 billion, up 7.62% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $10.95 per share and revenue of $4.36 billion, which would represent changes of +5.8% and +7.49%, respectively, from the prior year.
Additionally, investors should keep an eye on any recent revisions to analyst forecasts for SkyWest. These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns. Therefore, positive revisions in estimates convey analysts' confidence in the business performance and profit potential.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To capitalize on this, we've crafted the Zacks Rank, a unique model that incorporates these estimate changes and offers a practical rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant within the past month. SkyWest currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
With respect to valuation, SkyWest is currently being traded at a Forward P/E ratio of 8.98. This valuation marks a discount compared to its industry average Forward P/E of 11.65.
It's also important to note that SKYW currently trades at a PEG ratio of 1.38. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account.
