This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company recently reported second-quarter financial numbers wherein earnings surpassed estimates but revenues missed the same. While earnings per share declined, revenues improved on a year-over-year basis. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

For the third quarter, Hawaiian Airlines anticipates operating revenue per available seat mile to be down 1.5% to up 1.5% on a year-over-year basis. While capacity expansion is projected between 7.5% and 9.5%. Unit costs excluding fuel are estimated to rise significantly, primarily owing to escalating labor costs. Fuel cost per gallon (economic) is predicted in the band of $2.10-$2.20 for the current quarter.
