It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors.
While you may have an investing style you rely on, finding great stocks is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores. These are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on value, growth, and/or momentum characteristics.
Different than value or growth investors, momentum-oriented investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
Alaska Air Group, together with its partner regional carriers, serves more than 120 cities across North America. Alaska Air Group operates two airlines, Alaska and Horizon.
ALK sits at a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), holds a Momentum Style Score of B, and has a VGM Score of A. The stock is down 3.6% and up 8% over the past one-week and four-week period, respectively, and Alaska Air Group has gained 99.2% in the last one-year period as well. Additionally, an average of 2,730,387.25 shares were traded over the last 20 trading sessions.
Momentum investors don't just pay attention to price changes; positive earnings play a crucial role, too. Six analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2025. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.26 to $6.03 per share. ALK boasts an average earnings surprise of 33.1%.
Investors should take the time to consider ALK for their portfolios due to its solid Zacks Ranks, notable earnings metrics, and impressive Momentum and VGM Style Scores.
