Sustained High Fuel Prices Would Push Some Airlines Deep Into Red -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-09

1133 ET - Jet fuel prices continuing around $4 a gallon would dramatically hurt airlines' earnings, say UBS analysts Atul Maheswari and Thomas Wadewitz. Delta, United and Southwest would only be able to generate meager profits, while none of the other airlines would make money and some would likely fall deep into the red. Earnings impact in the first quarter is likely to be limited, but the airlines could really start to feel the pain in the second quarter. Companies' share prices are also likely to decline further before seeing any eventual rebound, the analysts say. (nicholas.miller@wsj.com)
