On October 15, 2025, a Seeking Alpha analyst reiterated a "Sell" rating for JetBlue Airways (JBLU), advising investors to continue avoiding the stock. The analysis highlights a series of ongoing challenges confronting the airline, including the aftermath of the failed merger with Spirit, persistent pilot shortages, the financial impact of engine issues, and increasing labor costs that are straining its low-cost business model. The report notes that while JetBlue's "JetForward" program is aimed at improving margins by 2027, the company's high leverage and weak near-term financial outlook remain significant concerns. The article suggests that any recent uptick in stock price may be attributable to broader market rumors, rather than a fundamental improvement in the company's position. This analysis was published ahead of JetBlue's anticipated third-quarter earnings announcement scheduled for October 28.
