Hawaiian Holdings Bearish on Q3 RASM, Revises 2018 View

Zacks Equity Research
Updated

Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.’s HA wholly owned subsidiary Hawaiian Airlines has issued an update on the third quarter of 2018 and the full year.

Bleak Q3 Guidance

The carrier has trimmed projections for operating revenue per available seat mile (RASM) due to adversities arising from Hurricane Lane late in August, which disrupted operations and induced soft bookings on account of passengers cancelling flights. The airline now anticipates RASM in the range of -2 to 0% (year-over-year change). Earlier outlook was in the band of -1.5 to 1.5% (year-over-year change).

2018 Outlook

The company will cease its thrice-weekly nonstop operation between Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and Beijing Capital International Airport from mid-October. Consequently, the carrier has slashed guidance for full-year capacity and gallons of jet fuel consumed. It now expects capacity to expand between 5% and 7% compared with the previous projection of a rise in the range of 5.5-7.5%. Additionally, gallons of jet fuel consumed are estimated to rise in the band of 3.5-5.5%, lower than the past forecast of 4-6% increase.

Zacks Rank & Key Picks

Hawaiian Holdings carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Some better-ranked stocks in the broader Transportation sector are SkyWest, Inc SKYW, C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. CHRW and Trinity Industries, Inc. TRN. While C.H. Robinson holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), SkyWest and Trinity sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Shares of SkyWest, C.H. Robinson and Trinity have rallied more than 73%, 32% and 25%, respectively, in a year.

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All

Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
