Allegiant Travel Co. Reports Q2 2025 Earnings: Record Passenger Traffic, Exceeds Guidance on Revenue and Operating Margin, Expects Operating Loss in Q3

Allegiant Travel Co reported Q2 2025 earnings with $669 million in airline revenue, a 3% YoY increase, and an operating margin of 8.6%, exceeding initial guidance. The company flew a record 5 million passengers, with 70% being repeat customers. However, domestic leisure demand was softer than expected, and capacity growth expectations for the full year have been reduced due to macro and geopolitical uncertainties.

Allegiant Travel Co. (ALGT) delivered robust earnings for the second quarter of 2025, with the company's earnings per share (EPS) significantly surpassing expectations. The company reported an EPS of $1.23, well above the forecasted $0.77, representing a surprise of 59.74%. Revenue reached $689.4 million, slightly above expectations [1].

The airline segment demonstrated strong financial metrics, with a net income of $34.3 million, reflecting an operating margin of 8.6%. This performance underscores Allegiant’s ability to navigate a softer-than-expected domestic leisure demand environment [1].

Despite the challenging demand environment, Allegiant managed to fly a record 5 million passengers in the second quarter, with approximately 70% of them being repeat customers. The company’s high operational completion rate of 99.9% indicates strong operational efficiency [1].

Following the earnings announcement, Allegiant’s stock price increased by 6.61% in aftermarket trading, reaching $51.3. The stock’s movement reflects investor confidence in the company’s ability to exceed earnings expectations and maintain strong operational metrics [1].

Looking ahead, Allegiant anticipates full-year 2025 airline earnings to exceed $3.25 per share, with consolidated earnings projected to surpass $2.25 per share. However, the company has adjusted its capacity growth expectations for the full year due to increased macro and geopolitical uncertainties [1].
