Airline Stocks Soar Amid Surging Travel Demand Despite Fuel Costs

Airline stocks have risen despite fuel costs and flight disruptions, with Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Allegiant Travel, and JetBlue Airways raising their first-quarter revenue outlooks due to strong travel demand. Analysts are mixed on individual airline stocks, but most 12-month price targets suggest solid upside, with Delta expected to rise in the high single digits, and an average 12-month target of $79 implying more than 20% upside from the current price of $64.50.
