what happened

Dow Jones Newswires, citing Benzinga, reported that BMO Capital reduced its price target on Alaska Air Group shares to $42 per share from $50. The firm kept its Outperform rating, which means it still expects the stock to beat the market.

A separate revision followed from Citigroup, which lowered its target on the airline's shares to $33 from $37. The Citigroup action was logged at 19:32 GMT, after the BMO update at 17:30 GMT.

why it matters

Target cuts from several banks at the same time reflect a shift in analysts' estimates for the airline's shares. These revisions do not come with new earnings data in the materials, so they are best read as a sign of changing sentiment on Wall Street rather than a change in company fundamentals.
