On June 22, JetBlue Airways fell 9.68% overnight, trading at $5.13/share, with turnover of $17,200.
On the news front, JetBlue Airways warned that due to soaring aviation fuel costs, the company may be only weeks away from bankruptcy. The warning intensified market concerns over the carrier's financial viability, given that the company is already operating at a loss with an EPS of -$1.92 and negative trailing earnings. The airline's total market capitalization has dropped to approximately $1.9 billion.
Within the Airlines sector, the decline appears largely isolated to JetBlue. Among peers, American Airlines fell 0.63%, Delta Air Lines fell 0.25%, United Airlines was flat, Southwest Airlines was flat, and Joby Aviation fell 1.9%. Notably, UBS had recently raised its target price for JetBlue from $3.5 to $4, which remains below the current trading price, reflecting cautious institutional sentiment even before the bankruptcy warning emerged.
