Southwest Q1 EPS Misses, Q2 Guidance Wide

Watch: Monitor Q2 earnings for clarity on guidance range and potential margin recovery drivers amid macro risks.

Southwest Airlines missed Q1 adjusted EPS at $0.45 versus $0.47 consensus and revenue at $7.24B versus $7.26B. It guided Q2 EPS between $0.35-$0.65, wider than the $0.60 estimate and withheld full-year EPS due to macro uncertainty. HSBC upgraded LUV from Reduce to Hold and raised its price target to $36.1. Shares gained 3.8% to $39.17 despite earnings misses.

The earnings miss and uncertain guidance signal short-term pressure but HSBC's upgrade and price target raise reflect confidence in medium-term recovery amid accelerating revenue growth and structural margin improvement.
