what happened
Reuters reports that Alaska Air's total operating revenue in the third quarter reached USD 4,300 million, against an analyst estimate of USD 4,314 million.
Adjusted earnings per share were negative USD 0.31, while the estimate was positive USD 0.53. Separately, the agency gives a third-quarter EPS figure of negative USD 1.32.
why it matters
What matters for markets is the gap with consensus: a weak quarter for a carrier draws attention to costs and demand for air travel. The short report gives no reasons for the miss, so the company's full filing is worth waiting for.
