The airline industry is back in the headlines, though not in a way that would make investors cheer. Another batch of earnings releases from large U.S. carriers—American Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>), Southwest Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>), and Alaska Air (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>)—has brought a somber message: the skies are cloudy for forward-looking guidance. As these airlines take back their 2025 outlooks in response to escalating macroeconomic uncertainty, investors holding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">airline-themed ETFs</a> are replanning their altitude.
ETFs In Focus
These are the three most susceptible ETFs most exposed to the turbulence shaking up the skies:
U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>)
This is the most widely held airline ETF among most investors, providing access to a portfolio of global airline shares, with a heavy U.S. bias. JETS has large stakes in Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), United Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NYSE">UAL</a>), American, and Southwest—all of which have watched their share prices spiral downward more than 20% on an average so far into 2025. Needless to say, JETS has declined sharply year to date, almost 23%, both as a result of weaker domestic demand and increasing economic headwinds.

iShares Transportation Average ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYT#BATS">IYT</a>)
Although not airline-centric, IYT does have high exposure to airlines, along with freight and logistics stocks. The fund has been stressed by weakness within the passenger air travel component, as air travel demand between the U.S. and other countries especially Canada, has been affected due to tariffs and is susceptible to additional challenges if the slowdown permeates to cargo and global travel.
SPDR S&amp;P Transportation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XTN#NYSE">XTN</a>)
XTN provides equal-weighted exposure to the wider transportation space, including regional carriers. It&#8217;s more attuned to under-the-radar participants such as Alaska Air, which have fallen harder than their big-cap peers because they&#8217;ve been more dependent on domestic routes—now the weakest part of the market.
Guidance Cuts
Although first-quarter results were largely better than projected, the actual theater of action is in the empty forecast columns.
American Airlines topped revenue expectations and reported a smaller-than-expected Q1 loss, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44982328/american-airlines-flies-into-uncertainty-q1-revenue-miss-2025-outlook-pulled-but-debt-plan-on-track">withdrew its full-year forecast</a>, stating visibility is limited and clouds are dense.
Southwest seconded that view, regardless of record Q1 revenue, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44968055/southwest-airlines-tosses-out-profit-guidance-amid-macroeconomic-uncertainty-shares-slide-despite-better-than-expected-q1-results">withdrawing earnings guidance for 2025 and 2026</a> after experiencing demand weaken over the course of the quarter.
Alaska Air fell <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44976464/alaska-air-hit-by-demand-dip-in-q1-loss-skips-fy25-guidance-update-amid-uncertainty">short on revenue and sharply reduced Q2 expectations</a>, stating it is anticipating a 6 percentage point revenue hit from soft demand.
If investors were expecting clarity, they received fog instead.
Macro Headwinds And Tariff Crosswinds
Aside from consumer demand, geopolitics and trade tensions are also blowing fiercely. Tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have contributed to growing economic uncertainty, with spillovers affecting airline sentiment. 
Boeing, meanwhile, is seeking to reroute dozens of undeliverable planes originally destined for Chinese customers. &#8220;We have many customers who want near-term deliveries, so we plan to redirect the supply to the stable demand. And we are not going to continue to build aircraft (and ship it) to customers who will not take them,&#8221; Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg explained <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44970516/boeing-adjusts-strategy-amid-trump-tariff-fallout-ceo-kelly-ortberg-says-wont-build-aircraft-for-customers-who-will-not-take-them-as-china-halts-deliveries">in the earnings call.</a>
So far this year, American Airlines has fallen 43%, Southwest is down 22%, Delta and United have slid 30% and 28%, respectively.
The domestic demand drag is evident across the board. Airlines are hoping that international and premium segments, currently holding up, don't catch the same cold, as expressed by TD Cowen analyst Tom Fitzgerald, <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/american-southwest-airlines-earnings-stock-price-498f8b9c">cited </a>by Barron&#8217;s. But that's a risky bet in a macro environment where clarity is more elusive than a free in-flight upgrade.
What's Next For Airline ETFs?
Investors are struggling with mixed signals: strong near-term performance in certain segments vs. gigantic uncertainty to come. Fitzgerald warned that airline stocks are likely to remain range-bound until more definitive economic data are available, citing risks to second-half 2025 and 2026 earnings estimates.
While airline ETFs might still be a long-term bargain—currently, investors are in a holding pattern. Until economic skies brighten, it may be best to have that seatbelt tightly buckled.

IBM, Nokia, Alaska Air Group And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

Alaska Air Group, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) shares are trading lower premarket on Thursday. On Wednesday, the company reported&nbsp;first-quarter&nbsp;sales&nbsp;growth of 41% year over year (Y/Y) to $3.14 billion, which missed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44968566/alaska-air-group-reports-first-quarter-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">the street view of&nbsp;$3.17 billion</a>.
The Seattle-based company disclosed capacity (available seat miles) growth of&nbsp;3.9%&nbsp;Y/Y, around 1 point higher than expected, thanks to lower-than-expected flight cancellation rates.
Operating revenue per available seat miles (RASM) increased by&nbsp;5.0%&nbsp;Y/Y in the quarter.

Unit revenues improved 5.0% Y/Y,&nbsp;despite a 3-point impact from softening demand. Unit costs rose&nbsp;2.1%&nbsp;Y/Y, at par with the company's expectations. This includes the new&nbsp;Alaska&nbsp;flight attendant contract, which was ratified in February.
The economic fuel price per gallon came in at $2.61&nbsp;in the first quarter, reflecting moderating crude oil prices partly negated by higher West Coast refining margins.&nbsp;
Adjusted EPS loss&nbsp;of 77 cents, missed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus loss of&nbsp;74 cents</a>. The loss reflects a softening demand environment and macroeconomic factors.
The overall results reflect strong initial progress on the integration of Hawaiian Airlines. In the first quarter, Hawaiian unit revenue increased 8.8% year over year, and Hawaiian's adjusted pretax margin improved 14 points year over year.
CEO&nbsp;Ben Minicucci&nbsp;said, "Amid the economic uncertainty, our teams controlled what they can control and delivered results that strengthen our foundation for the long term."
The company generated&nbsp;an operating cash flow of&nbsp;$459 million&nbsp;in the first quarter. As of March 31, 2025, the company's unrestricted cash and marketable securities stood at&nbsp;$2.5 billion.
Buyback: The company repurchased 1.8&nbsp;million shares of common stock for around&nbsp;$107&nbsp;million in the&nbsp;first quarter, bringing year-to-date repurchases to $149&nbsp;million as of&nbsp;April 22, 2025.
Outlook: Alaska Air projects a&nbsp;second-quarter&nbsp;adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$1.15 to $1.65 vs. a consensus of&nbsp;$2.37, a capacity (available seat miles) growth of 2%-3%, and RASM <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">flat to down low single digits</a>.
The company says that while overall bookings have stabilized, the guidance for Q2 reflects an expected revenue impact of around six points due to recent demand softness.
As previously indicated, the second quarter is expected to see the most cost pressure, but unit costs are anticipated to improve sequentially in the second half of the year.
Due to ongoing economic uncertainty and market volatility, the company is not providing an update to FY25 guidance at this time.
The company says it continues to expect to deliver&nbsp;$1 billion&nbsp;in incremental profit by 2027.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Themes Airlines ETF&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIRL#NASDAQ">AIRL</a>) and&nbsp;U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>).
Price Action: ALK shares are down 7.18% at $42.80 premarket at the last check Thursday.

Alaska Air Hit By Demand Softness In Q1, Skips Annual Outlook Citing Macro Uncertainty

WIIM

Alaska Air Group shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q1 financial results and issued Q2 adjusted EPS guidance below estimates.

U.S. stock futures fell on Thursday after a two-day advance. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket.
The administration&#8217;s mixed signals on tariffs fueled investor anxiety. While President Donald Trump hinted at a deal with China while speaking to reporters on Tuesday after market hours, the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44970416/scott-bessents-china-de-escalation-scoop-delivered-to-wall-street-early-at-closed-door-event-2-2-trillion-in-gains-later-questions-arise-if-retail-investors-were">denied slashing steep tariffs</a> on Chinese imports unilaterally on Wednesday. China<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44973283/china-denies-trumps-trade-talk-assertion-calls-for-abolition-of-unilateral-tariffs-no-factual-basis"> also refuted Trump&#8217;s trade talk</a> assertion.
Investors will also keep an eye on tech giant and Google&#8217;s parent Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) slated to be released later today.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.35% and the two-year bond was at 3.83%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool&#8217;</a>s projections show markets pricing a 93.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Acknowledging the swift and often daily shifts in tariff and geopolitical landscapes, Scott Wren, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo, noted, "With the pace of change on the tariff and geopolitical fronts moving fast and sometimes adjusting on a day-to-day basis, investors are wondering what they might do to help navigate the uncertainties."
To navigate these uncertainties, Wren has advised investors to maintain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44973246/market-dip-attractive-entry-point-says-wells-fargo-energy-large-and-mid-cap-stock-favored">exposure in higher-quality equities</a> and fixed income, emphasizing the need for a plan to withstand market volatility while pursuing growth.
Wren stated, "The first rule of thumb for our plan is to focus on quality in a diversified manner."
Pointing to the stronger balance sheets, dependable cash flows, easy credit access, and share buyback capabilities of larger companies, Wren said, "We continue to favor large- and mid-capitalization equities over small-cap."
Additionally, Wells Fargo favors the energy sector and holds favorable ratings on Information Technology, Financials, and Communication Services, according to Wren, who explained, "We believe these sectors feature long-term growth drivers and robust balance sheets. We suggest investors put funds to work in these sectors at current market levels. In our view, the pullback in stocks offers long-term investors an attractive entry point."
After Trump blasted Fed Chairman Jerome Powell in a Truth Social post on Monday and said that "Powell's termination can't come quickly enough,&#8221; during a Tuesday press conference, he changed his tone, saying, "I have no intention of firing him".
&#8220;Essentially, if there is a recession, President Trump will likely blame Fed Chairman Powell for failing to cut key interest rates fast enough,&#8221; said Louis Navellier of Navellier and Associates.
Talking about the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Trump&#8217;s policies, Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research said, &#8220;Trump's Tariff Turmoil has put the world on edge. A new world order may be the ultimate result, but for now we've got the New World Disorder, leaving everyone scrambling to adjust to Trump's unpredictable policy pivots. The economic fallout is uncertain. The uncertainty is keeping Wall Street on edge.&#8221;

10 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Risk-on sentiment dominated Wall Street on Wednesday, as upbeat earnings reports and conciliatory messages from the Trump administration h<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">elped lift investor confidence.</a>
The administration eased market fears on two major fronts that have recently weighed heavily on sentiment. On the trade front, tensions with China appeared to thaw, with reports suggesting the White House is considering reducing tariffs on certain categories of goods.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added fuel to the rally, stating U.S.-China tariffs are unsustainable and will likely need to be lowered to facilitate meaningful negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump offered an abrupt shift in tone toward Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has no intention to fire him, a remark that helped calm concerns over political interference in monetary policy.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was up by nearly 2%, though it had earlier climbed even higher. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed with a 2.5% gain, driven by strength in Magnificent Seven stocks.
Trump's pivot on Powell pushed Treasury yields lower across the curve, with the 30-year yield falling five basis points to 4.83%, after briefly topping 4.90% the previous day.
On the macro front, flash Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys revealed slowing growth momentum in the U.S. economy, as the services sector decelerated sharply following the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44952395/us-business-activity-growth-slows-in-april-as-services-suffer-tariff-shock-markets-rally-as-trade-war-cools">of recent tariff shocks.</a>
The U.S. dollar strengthened, while gold plunged 2.6%, heading for its worst session since November.
Oil prices dropped more than 2% following speculation that OPEC+ may announce a new output hike as early as next month.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady around $93,000.
