Did ALK Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results

Alaska Air Group posted a sharp earnings beat in Q4 2025, with adjusted EPS of $0.43 clearing the $0.11 consensus estimate by 290.91%, even as revenue of $3.63 billion came in just a hair below the $3.64 billion forecast despite growing 2.8% year ove… Read more Alaska Air Group posted a sharp earnings beat in Q4 2025, with adjusted EPS of $0.43 clearing the $0.11 consensus estimate by 290.91%, even as revenue of $3.63 billion came in just a hair below the $3.64 billion forecast despite growing 2.8% year over year. The outperformance was driven roughly equally by better-than-expected non-fuel cost control and a favorable combination of lower December fuel costs and a reduced effective tax rate, with CASMex rising only 1.3% against prior guidance of approximately 3%. GAAP net income, however, fell to $21.00 million, or $0.18 per share, compared with $71.00 million, or $0.55 per share, in Q4 2024, reflecting integration-related costs tied to the Hawaiian Airlines combination. The quarter also brought a major Boeing fleet order and a unified FAA operating certificate with Hawaiian, reinforcing management's confidence in the Alaska Accelerate strategy. Looking ahead, the company guided full-year 2026 adjusted EPS of $3.50 to $6.50, with early Q1 corporate bookings running up 20% year over year signaling strengthening demand.

“We feel momentum accelerating in 2026 as the Alaska-Hawaiian Airlines combination gains full strength.
