<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing JetBlue Airways's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, JetBlue Airways's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 11.23%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Looking Into JetBlue Airways's Recent Short Interest

JetBlue Reveals Official Launch Of Service Between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport And Bonaire's Flamingo International Airport

Spirit Airlines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>) shares have been volatile in recent sessions, gaining sharply last week after the announcement of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41545453/whats-going-on-with-spirit-airlines-stock-friday">significant transaction</a> and an update on its financial performance. 
What To Know: In an SEC filing <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001498710/0421d62b-34a7-490a-bfc5-f62c6333ed1e.html">last week</a>, the budget airline disclosed that it had entered into a binding term sheet with GA Telesis for the sale of 23 A320ceo/A321ceo aircraft, valued at approximately $519 million. 
The delivery of these aircraft is set to begin in October 2024 and will continue through February 2025, contingent upon the execution of definitive documentation and customary conditions.
This move is expected to provide a much-needed boost to Spirit&#8217;s liquidity, with the airline estimating that the net proceeds from the aircraft sale, along with the discharge of associated debt, will enhance its financial position by about $225 million through the end of 2025. 
Such an infusion of capital comes at a critical time for Spirit, as the company grapples with a challenging financial landscape characterized by increased operational costs and a substantial debt load of $3.3 billion.

What Else: Adding to investor optimism, Spirit Airlines recently provided preliminary estimates for its third quarter of 2024, revealing that the estimated adjusted operating margin will be approximately 300 basis points higher than previously anticipated. 
This improvement is attributed to stronger-than-expected revenue growth stemming from the company&#8217;s ongoing transformation initiatives. However, Spirit&#8217;s outlook for 2025 reflects a more cautious approach, with capacity projected to decrease in the mid-teens percentage range.
This reduction is due to a combination of factors, including the recent aircraft sale, ongoing removal of neo aircraft from service because of Pratt &amp; Whitney engine availability issues, and the retirement of its remaining A319ceo aircraft. On a brighter note, the company plans to introduce six new A321neo aircraft into its fleet.

What&#8217;s Next: To support its pathway to profitability, Spirit Airlines has identified about $80 million in annualized cost reductions, which are expected to begin in early 2025. These reductions primarily involve workforce cuts aligned with anticipated flight volumes. 
The company is also actively engaged in discussions with holders of its senior secured notes due 2025 and convertible senior notes due 2026, indicating a proactive approach to managing its debt obligations.
The airline&#8217;s stock has been volatile in 2024, largely due to operational disruptions from an engine recall and regulatory setbacks surrounding its proposed acquisition of JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>). Moreover, Spirit has missed analysts&#8217; expectations on both revenue and earnings in its last two quarterly reports.
Recent reports suggest that Spirit Airlines is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41457620/why-spirit-airlines-save-stock-is-moving">exploring potential bankruptcy options</a>, a move that underscores the financial pressures the company is facing. However, the airline says it remains committed to bolstering its liquidity and addressing its debt load, anticipating over $1 billion in liquidity by the end of 2024.
This figure encompasses unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment securities, contingent upon the successful execution of ongoing initiatives.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SAVE Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Spirit Airlines&#8217; case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SAVE has a 52-week high of $17.02 and a 52-week low of $1.40.

The Details: Crude oil prices saw their sharpest one-day drop since 2022 on Monday. Oil futures for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell by 6%, settling near $67 per barrel. This drop followed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567809/oil-etfs-plunge-premarket-after-israels-strikes-on-iran">Israeli airstrikes in Iran</a> that focused on military targets and avoided oil infrastructure, reducing fears of immediate supply disruptions.
Oil markets had initially reacted to Middle East tensions earlier in the month, with concerns that strikes on Iranian oil facilities could disrupt supply. However, the limited scope of these recent airstrikes led analysts to expect oil prices to remain under pressure. 
Analysts noted that if OPEC+ proceeds with plans to increase supply while demand, particularly from China, continues to decrease, prices could trend lower into 2025.
China's oil demand has slowed since May, with structural changes in its energy sector and a higher share of new electric vehicle registrations contributing to reduced oil consumption.
Lower oil prices are generally bullish for airlines given that oil is one of the biggest expenses for airline companies. All of the aforementioned stocks gained between 1% and 4% on Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Insights into JetBlue Airways's Upcoming Earnings

The U.S. Justice Department's Antitrust Division and the Department of Transportation announced on Thursday they have opened a broad public inquiry into the state of competition in air travel on topics including previous airline mergers, aircraft manufacturing, airline ticket sales, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40745931/delta-southwest-and-other-airlines-in-hot-waters-with-us-transportation-department-for-unfair-reward">pricing and rewards practices</a>.
The Details: The agencies <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-and-department-transportation-launch-broad-public-inquiry-state">have issued</a> a Request for Information (RFI) and seek the public's input on anticompetitive conduct, consolidation and issues affecting the availability and affordability of air travel options.&nbsp;
"Competition in air travel is a vehicle for better quality, better fares and better choices for Americans," said Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division.
"With this inquiry, we hope to learn more from the businesses and travelers at the center of this essential industry. Their feedback will ensure the Justice Department can continue to build on its historic efforts to protect competition in air travel," Kanter added.&nbsp;

The U.S. Travel Association reacted to the DOJ's public inquiry into competition in air travel, which it sees as politically motivated.&nbsp;
"Today's announcement by the Departments of Transportation and Justice that they will launch ‘broad inquiries' into airline business practices is another in a long line of disappointing political stunts," the U.S. Travel Association said <a href="https://www.ustravel.org/press/us-travel-reacts-doj-dot-inquiry-air-travel-competition">in a statement</a>.
DOJ Cracks Down: Under the Biden administration, the DOJ has cracked down on industry consolidation and mergers and successfully blocked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37455281/jetblue-spirit-airlines-shares-are-moving-monday-whats-going-on">the merger</a> of JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) and Spirit Airlines, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NASDAQ">SAVE</a>) earlier this year.  
Spirit Airlines continues to face financial trouble and a potential bankruptcy after the deal with JetBlue fell through. Earlier this week, it was reported the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/10/41496171/whats-going-on-with-spirit-airlines-stock-wednesday"> airline had resumed</a> preliminary merger discussions with Frontier Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>). The potential merger of the two airlines would likely coincide with Spirit's restructuring of its debt and other liabilities in bankruptcy and could be affected by actions resulting from the DOJ's latest inquiry. 
Last month, the DOT launched an inquiry into whether the loyalty programs of the four largest U.S. airlines have engaged in unfair, deceptive or noncompetitive practices. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sent a letter to American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), United Airlines and Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) requesting records and reports related to the airlines&#8217; loyalty programs, practices and policies.
Federal agencies did allow a merger between Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. and Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40455513/alaska-airlines-hawaiian-airlines-1-9b-merger-gets-doj-green-light-awaits-transportation-department">to be completed</a> in September. However, the DOT required the companies to agree to a set of consumer protections before giving the deal the green light. 
Why It Matters: Other companies in the airline industry may be affected by the joint inquiry announced Thursday, including planemaker Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and parts supplier Spirit Aerosystems Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPR#NYSE">SPR</a>). Investors can monitor the effects on the industry through airline-focused ETFs, including the U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>) and the iShares Trust iShares U.S. Transportation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYT#BATS">IYT</a>).

DOJ, DOT Open Inquiry Into Airline Competition Amid Rising Concerns

As global airlines navigate shifting demand and rising operational costs, many are scaling back flights to China or pulling out entirely.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/25/china-sees-global-airlines-cut-flights-or-quit-totally-amid-weak-demand.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">According to CNBC</a>, Virgin Atlantic and Scandinavian Airlines have withdrawn from the Chinese market, citing high costs on extended routes and reduced demand.
Following the closure of Russian airspace, European carriers face increased expenses on longer routes to Asia, while Chinese airlines, unaffected by these restrictions, maintain direct and cheaper flights.
In response, European airlines are reallocating resources to more profitable routes. British Airways, for instance, has seen higher load factors on flights to Cape Town compared to those to China, CNBC writes.
While the closure of Russian airspace adds costs, weak demand stemming from China's economic slowdown and limited international interest in travel to China has also prompted these shifts.
A few days ago, reports emerged that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41324527/as-chinas-stimulus-hype-wanes-beijing-reportedly-weighs-850b-special-treasury-bonds-to-stimulate-eco" rel="noreferrer noopener">China plans to issue 6 trillion yuan ($850 billion)</a> in special treasury bonds over the next three years to stimulate its slowing economy and help local governments manage hidden debt.
While hints of fiscal support initially lifted investor sentiment, the absence of a comprehensive economic package has disappointed traders, leading to a recent downturn in U.S.-listed Chinese stocks.
U.S. airlines are also scaling back services to China but maintain minimal routes to preserve market presence.
Chinese carriers are near pre-pandemic capacity internationally (90%), while foreign airlines have reduced to 60% of 2019 levels, often attributing this to overcapacity and competition.
Meanwhile, Middle Eastern carriers, such as Emirates and Gulf Air, continue expanding routes to China, while flights from India and the U.S. remain limited due to political and regulatory challenges.
With demand low and facing route restrictions, U.S. airlines have redirected capacity within the Asia-Pacific region, urging the U.S. government to cap Chinese carriers' access and restore competitive balance, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.asiafinancial.com/less-foreign-airlines-flying-to-china-as-local-carriers-expand" rel="noreferrer noopener">mentioned Asia Financial</a>.
The trouble for U.S.-based carriers doesn't end at low demand from China. The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41524809" rel="noreferrer noopener">structural issues</a> with Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) have led to delayed aircraft deliveries, affecting capacity expansion.

Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) shares fell Thursday despite the airline reporting better-than-expected third-quarter earnings and reaching a pivotal agreement with activist investor Elliott Investment Management.
While the Elliott deal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41523606/southwest-shares-drop-despite-strong-earnings-elliott-deal-ceo-warns-of-boeing-delivery-delays-if-s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">resolves internal management</a> issues, Southwest still faces external challenges related to the Boeing strike. Southwest CEO Bob Jordan told CNBC that the ongoing strike at represents a potential risk to aircraft deliveries planned for 2025.

Trouble For US Airlines: China Demand Slump, Boeing Strike, Global Carriers Shifting Focus

Spirit Airlines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>) shares are trading higher in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">morning session on Friday.</a>
In an exchange <a target="_blank" href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001498710/0421d62b-34a7-490a-bfc5-f62c6333ed1e.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">filing</a>, Spirit Airlines announced that on October 18, 2024, it entered into a binding term sheet with GA Telesis for the sale of 23 A320ceo/A321ceo aircraft at an expected total purchase price of approximately $519 million.
Delivery of the aircraft is scheduled to begin in October 2024 and continue through February 2025, contingent upon the execution of definitive documentation and other customary conditions precedent.
On October 24, Spirit Airlines provided an update to investors with preliminary estimates for its third quarter of 2024.
Spirit anticipates that the net proceeds from the recent aircraft sale, combined with the discharge of related debt, will enhance its liquidity by approximately $225 million through year-end 2025.

The estimated adjusted operating margin for the third quarter of 2024&nbsp;is expected to be about 300 basis points higher than the midpoint of previous guidance, driven by stronger-than-expected revenue from its transformation plan.
For the full year 2025, capacity is projected to decrease in the mid-teens percentage range, considering the aircraft sale, the increased removal of neo aircraft from service due to Pratt &amp; Whitney engine availability issues, the retirement of the remaining A319ceo aircraft, and the addition of six new A321neo aircraft.
To support its path to profitability, Spirit has identified approximately $80 million in annualized cost reductions, which it plans to implement starting in early 2025, primarily through workforce reductions aligned with expected flight volumes.
The company is also in active discussions with holders of its senior secured notes due 2025 and convertible senior notes due 2026 regarding their maturities.
Spirit Airlines had&nbsp;extended<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41457620/why-spirit-airlines-save-stock-is-moving" rel="noreferrer noopener"> its debt refinancing deadline too</a>.&nbsp;Recently, the company announced it modified its card processing agreement, extending deadlines for its 2025 notes.
This follows ongoing negotiations with&nbsp;U.S. National Bank Association regarding&nbsp;Visa and&nbsp;MasterCard payments.
Consistent with previous guidance, Spirit expects to conclude 2024 with over $1.0 billion in liquidity, which includes unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, short-term investment securities, and other liquidity initiatives, assuming successful completion of ongoing efforts.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, SAVE stock has lost over 30% in the past six months.
Spirit Airlines has faced selling pressure as planes were grounded due to an engine recall and the company's planned acquisition of JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>)&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41432467/why-spirit-airlines-stock-is-taking-off-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener">was blocked by regulators.</a>
Spirit has also missed analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines in two straight quarters.
Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41178053/spirit-airlines-engages-in-bankruptcy-talks-amid-financial-struggles-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> that Spirit was exploring potential bankruptcy options as it continues to battle financial challenges, including mounting pressure on its $3.3 billion debt load.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>).
Price Action: SAVE shares are up 26% at $3.05 at the last check Friday.
