Is Southwest Airlines Stock Underperforming the Nasdaq?

Dallas, Texas-based Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) is a passenger airline company that provides scheduled air transportation services. Valued at a market cap of $17.8 billion, the company also provides inflight entertainment and connectivity services, and Rapid Rewards loyalty program that enables program members to earn points for dollars spent on Southwest base fares. Companies worth $10 billion or more are typically classified as 'large-cap stocks,' and LUV fits the label perfectly, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, underscoring its size, influence, and dominance within the airlines industry. The company's strengths lie in its low-cost, point-to-point business model, which allows it to operate efficiently while offering competitive fares and high flight frequency on short- to medium-haul routes. Its strong focus on customer satisfaction and operational simplicity, such as free checked bags, no change fees, and open seating policies differentiate it from many legacy carriers. 2 Outstanding Stocks Under $50 to Buy and Hold Now 3 ETFs with Dividend Yields of 12% or Higher for Your Income Portfolio Nvidia's Bringing Sovereign AI to Germany.

This airlines company has dipped 13.7% from its 52-week high of $36.12, reached on Dec. 5, 2024. Shares of LUV have declined 3.8% over the past three months, underperforming the Nasdaq Composite's ($NASX) 11.7% return during the same time frame. Moreover, on a YTD basis, shares of LUV are down 7.3%, lagging behind NASX's 1.2% uptick. Nonetheless, in the longer term, LUV has surged 9.6% over the past 52 weeks, slightly outpacing NASX's 9.4% rise over the same time frame. To confirm its bullish trend, LUV has been trading above its 200-day and 50-day moving averages since early May. On Apr. 23, LUV reported stronger-than-expected Q1 results, demonstrating resilience despite a dynamic broader economic environment, which drove its share price up by 3.7% in the following trading session. Due to higher passenger revenue, the company's total operating revenue grew 1.6% year-over-year to $6.4 billion and marginally exceeded analyst estimates. Adding to the uptick, its total operating expenses declined 1.1% from the year-ago quarter and led to a notable 63.9% decrease in its adjusted loss per share of $0.13. The bottom-line figure also exceeded the consensus estimates. LUV has outpaced its rival, Delta Air Lines, Inc.'s (DAL) 4.1% decline over the past 52 weeks and 21.4% fall on a YTD basis. Given LUV's recent underperformance, analysts remain cautious about its prospects. The stock has a consensus rating of "Hold' from the 21 analysts covering it.

Darden Restaurants beats earnings estimates, as Olive Garden parent predicts growth in 2026

Darden Restaurants on Friday beat Wall Street's earnings and revenue estimates, while the Olive Garden parent predicted solid growth for fiscal year 2026. Shares of Darden rose more than 2% in premarket trading Friday. Here's what the company reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG: Darden reported fiscal fourth-quarter net income of $303.8 million, or $2.58 per share, compared with $308.1 million, or $2.58 per share, a year earlier. Excluding costs related to its Chuy's Tex Mex acquisition, Darden earned $2.98 per share for the fiscal fourth-quarter ended May 25. Net sales rose 10.6% to $3.3 billion, fueled in part by acquiring 103 Chuy's restaurants and 25 net new restaurants. The Orlando, Florida-based company's same-store sales rose 4.6%, beating StreetAccount estimates of 3.5%. For the full fiscal year 2026, Darden gave a forecast for revenue growth of 7% to 8%, including approximately 2% growth related to having an extra week in the year. It expects adjusted earnings to be in a range of $10.50 to $10.70 per share, including 20 cents related to the additional week. Despite signs of consumers pulling back on spending, Darden Restaurants CEO Rick Cardenas said in March during the company's third-quarter earnings call that dining out has remained a category where consumers continue to treat themselves and splurge. "Our strategy remains the right one for the company, and we will continue to execute it to drive growth and long-term shareholder value," he said in a release Friday. Darden's two standout brands, Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse, reported same-store sales growth that beat expectations. Olive Garden, which accounts for roughly 40% of Dardan's quarterly revenue, saw same-store sales rise 6.9%, beating analysts' expectations of 4.6%. LongHorn's same-store sales increased 6.7%, while analysts were anticipating growth of 5.3%. Darden's fine dining segment, which includes Ruth's Chris Steak House and The Capital Grille, reported a same-store sales decline of 3.3%, compared with the 0.2% decline expected. The company's remaining segment, which includes Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and Yard House, saw same-store sales growth of 1.2%, compared to estimates of 1.1%. In March, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen became the next Darden brand, after Olive Garden, to pilot on-demand delivery through a partnership with Uber Direct. At that time, Darden said Cheddar's was conducting the pilot in 10 of its restaurants. The company also announced that on Wednesday, its board of directors authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date and replaces the previously existing share repurchase authorization. Darden Restaurants stock is up about 19% year-to-date.

Success of key NATO summit in doubt after Spain rejects big hike in defense spending

Success of key NATO summit in doubt after Spain rejects big hike in defense spending

BRUSSELS -- The success of a key NATO summit hung in the balance on Friday, after Spain announced that it cannot raise the billions of dollars needed to meet a new defense investment pledge demanded by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump and his NATO counterparts are meeting for two days in the Netherlands from next Tuesday. He insists that U.S. allies should commit to spending at least 5% of gross domestic product, but that requires investment at an unprecedented scale. Trump has cast doubt over whether the U.S. would defend allies that spend too little. Setting the spending goal would be a historic decision. It would see all 32 countries invest the same amount in defense for the first time. Only last week, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte expressed confidence that they would endorse it. But in a letter to Rutte on Thursday, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wrote that 'committing to a 5% target would not only be unreasonable, but also counterproductive.' 'It would move Spain away from optimal spending and it would hinder the (European Union's) ongoing efforts to strengthen its security and defense ecosystem,' Sánchez wrote in the letter, seen by The Associated Press. Belgium, Canada, France and Italy would also struggle to hike security spending by billions of dollars, but Spain is the only country to officially announce its intentions, making it hard to row back from such a public decision. Beyond his economic challenges, Sánchez has other problems. He relies on small parties to govern, and corruption scandals have ensnared his inner circle and family members. He's under growing pressure to call an early election. In response to the letter, Rutte's office said only that 'discussions among allies on a new defense investment plan are ongoing.' NATO's top civilian official had been due to table a new proposal on Friday to try to break the deadlock. The U.S. and French envoys had also been due to update reporters about the latest developments ahead of the summit but postponed their briefings. Rutte and many European allies are desperate to resolve the problem by Tuesday so that Trump does not derail the summit, as he did during his first term at NATO headquarters in 2018. After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, NATO allies agreed that 2% of GDP should be the minimum they spend on their military budgets. But NATO's new plans for defending its own territory against outside attack require investment of at least 3%. Spain agreed to those plans in 2023. The 5% goal is made up of two parts. The allies would agree to hike pure defense spending to 3.5% of GDP. A further 1.5% would go to upgrade roads, bridges, ports and airfields so that armies can better deploy, and to prepare societies for future attacks. Mathematically, 3.5 plus 1.5 equals Trump's 5%. But a lot is hiding behind the figures and details of what kinds of things can be included remain cloudy. Countries closest to Russia, Belarus and Ukraine have all agreed to the target, as well as nearby Germany, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands, which is hosting the June 24-25 summit. The Netherlands estimates that NATO's defense plans would force it to dedicate at least 3.5% to core defense spending. That means finding an additional 16 billion to 19 billion euros ($18 billion to $22 billion). Supplying arms and ammunition to Ukraine, which Spain does, will also be included as core defense spending. NATO estimates that the U.S. spent around 3.2% of GDP on defense last year. The additional 1.5% spending basket is murkier. Rutte and many members argue that infrastructure used to deploy armies to the front must be included, as well as building up defense industries and preparing citizens for possible attacks. 'If a tank is not able to cross a bridge. If our societies are not prepared in case war breaks out for a whole of society approach. If we are not able to really develop the defense industrial base, then the 3.5% is great but you cannot really defend yourselves,' Rutte said this month. Spain wanted climate change spending included, but that proposal was rejected. Cyber-security and counter-hybrid warfare investment should also make the cut. Yet with all the conjecture about what might be included, it's difficult to see how Rutte arrived at this 1.5% figure. It's not enough to agree to spend more money. Many allies haven't yet hit the 2% target, although most will this year, and they had a decade to get there. So an incentive is required. The date of 2032 has been floated as a deadline. That's far shorter than previous NATO targets, but military planners estimate that Russian forces could be capable of launching an attack on an ally within 5-10 years. The U.S. insists that it cannot be an open-ended pledge, and that a decade is too long. Still, Italy says it wants 10 years to hit the 5% target. Another issue is how fast spending should be ramped up. 'I have a cunning plan for that,' Rutte said. He wants the allies to submit annual plans that lay out how much they intend to increase spending by. For Europe, Russia's war on Ukraine poses an existential threat. A major rise in sabotage, cyberattacks and GPS jamming incidents is blamed on Moscow. European leaders are girding their citizens for the possibility of more. The United States also insists that China poses a threat. But for European people to back a hike in national defense spending, their governments require acknowledgement that the Kremlin remains NATO's biggest security challenge. The billions required for security will be raised by taxes, going into debt, or shuffling money from other budgets. But it won't be easy for many, as Spain has shown. On top of that, Trump has made things economically tougher by launching a global tariff war — ostensibly for U.S. national security reasons — something America's allies find hard to fathom.
