What the Analysts think about SkyWest
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for SkyWest stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of SkyWest stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Third-quarter revenue rose 6% year on year as block-hour production grew 5%, while SkyWest expects production to increase about 5% for 2026. This points to continued demand from airline partners and growth in flying activity. (Business Wire)
Fleet expansion offers a route to future growth: SkyWest expects more than 300 E175s by the end of 2027 and has new aircraft flying agreements with major partners, alongside a CRJ450 programme with United. These contracted and planned additions could support future capacity and earnings. (The Motley Fool)
SkyWest has reduced debt by $1 billion since the end of 2022 and generated more than $700 million of EBITDA in the first nine months of 2026. It also repurchased $75 million of shares in the third quarter, supporting the case for financial resilience and shareholder returns. (The Motley Fool)
SkyWest cut its 2026 EPS outlook to about $10.60 from $11, citing fuel-price volatility and crew-training costs. In the third quarter, prorate fuel expense rose to $66 million from $34 million a year earlier, showing how quickly fuel can pressure earnings. (The Motley Fool)
The growth plan needs substantial investment: management expects about $825 million of 2027 capital expenditure, including $525 million for new E175s, while total debt stood at $2.4 billion at the end of September. That funding burden could constrain cash available for other uses. (The Motley Fool)
Operations remain exposed to staffing and maintenance bottlenecks: SkyWest said its third-party maintenance network faces labour and parts shortages, and expects maintenance expense to rise slightly in 2027. These constraints could make it harder to keep aircraft available as flying grows. (The Motley Fool)
