Citigroup’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Financial - Investment Bank industry over the past year (+45.9% vs. +39.5%).

The bank’s push into private credit through strategic partnerships is expected to enhance revenue diversification.
Yet, the volatile nature of investment banking (IB) and the trading business may pressure fee income. Its expenses are likely to remain high amid ongoing transformation efforts.

Shares of AgEagle Aerial Systems have underperformed the Zacks Agriculture - Operations industry over the past year (-53.4% vs. -5.1%).

Top Research Reports for Walmart, Sony & Citigroup

Alaska Air Group, Inc. (ALK) has unveiled disappointing third-quarter 2025 guidance, citing issues related to higher fuel expenses and operational issues.
ALK now projects its third-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share to be at the low end of its previously guided range of $1.00-$1.40. The downside has been attributed to higher fuel costs, coupled with operational challenges during the summer, which have weighed on unit costs.
Notably, ALK has been witnessing high West Coast refining margins due to ongoing refinery disruptions. This has led to an increase in fuel cost expectations guidance to the range of $2.50–$2.55 per gallon from the prior view of nearly $2.45 per gallon.
Irregular operations, which include weather and air traffic control issues, have pushed up expenses related to overtime, premium pay and passenger compensation. Further, the July IT outage continues to have an anticipated impact of almost 10 cents per share on the company’s bottom line.
On the greener side, ALK has been enjoying solid revenue trends. Unit revenue is projected to be near the high end of the prior guidance of flat to low-single-digit growth. ALK witnessed positive year-over-year yield growth in August, on the back of premium cabin strength and a double-digit surge in corporate revenue on a sequential basis.
Meanwhile, the launch of ALK’s new Atmos Rewards loyalty program on Aug. 20 garnered major media impressions, which marked the maximum for any announcement in the history of ALK. Sign-ups for ALK’s new premium credit card, the Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite Card, surpassed year-end target within two weeks, with solid traction beyond ALK’s core West Coast and Hawaii markets. This reflected the widespread popularity of ALK’s loyalty platform.
ALK currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Updated Q3 View of Other Airline Companies
In addition to ALK, Delta Air Lines (DAL) and JetBlue Airways Corporation JBLU have also provided updated third-quarter 2025 guidance.
Delta Air Lines
Delta Air Lines gave an improved projectionfor the third quarter of 2025, driven by the stabilization and improvement of air travel demand.Highlighting the improvement in air travel demand, Delta Air Lines, while presenting at the Morgan Stanley Laguna Conference, gave a better view of revenues for the third quarter of 2025. The airline now expects revenue growth in the 2-4% band in the September quarter from third-quarter 2024 actuals, which is in the upper half of the guidance range provided while releasing its second-quarter 2025 results. Adjusted revenues (excluding third-party refinery sales) are expected to be in the $14.9-$15.2 billion range.
In July, DAL had projected third-quarter revenues on an adjusted basis to either remain flat or increase up to 4% from the third quarter of 2024 level. Factors like stronger-than-expected demand and capacity discipline across the U.S. airline industry are responsible for the improved September quarter outlook.
JetBlue
JetBlue now anticipates available seat miles (ASMs) for the third quarter to be flat to up 1% year over year, compared with the prior guidance of down 1% to up 2%. Further, JBLU anticipates third-quarter operating revenue per ASM (RASM) to decline in the range of 1.5%-4% year over year, an improvement from the prior outlook of 2%-6% decrease.
Consistency in air travel demand continued from the summer season through August and the Labor Day holiday, all of which was reflected in the rising number of bookings within 14 days of travel. Strong operational performance during August, in addition to the carrier’s cost management actions, aided JBLU’s non-fuel unit costs. JBLU now expects third-quarter costs per available seat mile (excluding fuel and special items) to increase in the range of 3.5-5.5%, down from the prior expectation of a 4%-6% increase.
JBLU lowers its third-quarter 2025 average fuel cost per gallon guidance to the range of $2.45-$2.55 from the previously guided range of $2.50 to $2.65. Lower fuel costs should boost the company’s bottom line, as fuel expenses represent a key input cost for any airline company.

ALK Issues Bearish Q3 View on High Fuel Costs, Operational Issues

In the past week, Delta Air Lines DAL gave an improved projection for the third quarter of 2025, driven by the stabilization and improvement of air travel demand. Allegiant Travel Company ALGT was also in the news when it reported a double-digit increase in traffic for August. Latin American carrier Copa Holdings CPA also reported impressive traffic numbers for August, driven by strong passenger volumes.
Regional carrier, SkyWest SKYW, meanwhile, inked a strategic agreement as an equity investor in Maeve Aerospace. JetBlue Airways JBLU, in line with the efforts to enhance operational efficiency, announced the retirement of its Embraer E190 fleet. JetBlue was also in the news recently, driven by strong summer bookings, and it provided an improved outlook for third-quarter 2025 capacity and revenue per seat mile. The news was covered in detail in the previous week’s write-up.
Recap of the Most Recent Important Stories
1. At Allegiant Travel, the August scheduled traffic (measured in revenue passenger miles) rose 12.1% from the August 2024 levels. Capacity (measured in available seat miles) for scheduled service rose 14.6% year over year. Although traffic improved on a year-over-year basis, it failed to outpace capacity expansion. As a result, the load factor (percentage of seats filled by passengers) in August 2025 declined to 82.6% from 84.5% a year ago.
For the total system (including scheduled service and fixed fee contract), Allegiant carried 12.5% more passengers in August 2025 than the year-ago level. System-wide capacity improved 14.4% in August 2025 on a year-over-year basis.
2. Highlighting the improvement in air travel demand, Delta, while presenting at the Morgan Stanley Laguna Conference, gave a better view of revenues for the third quarter of 2025. The airline now expects revenue growth in the 2-4% band in the September quarter from third-quarter 2024 actuals, which is in the upper half of the guidance range provided while releasing its second-quarter 2025 results. Adjusted revenues (excluding third-party refinery sales) are expected in the $14.9-$15.2 billion range.
In July, DAL had projected third-quarter revenues on an adjusted basis to either remain flat or increase up to 4% from the third quarter of 2024 level. Factors like stronger-than-expected demand and capacity discipline across the U.S. airline industry are responsible for the improved September quarter outlook. DAL currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
3 In August, Copa Holdings’ revenue passenger miles (RPM: a measure of air traffic) improved 9.8% on a year-over-year basis. To match the demands well, CPA is increasing its capacity. In August, available seat miles (a measure of capacity) increased 5.8% year over year. Since traffic outpaced capacity expansion, the load factor (the percentage of seats filled by passengers) rose to 88.3% from 85.1% in August 2024.
4. JetBlue has improved its cost efficiency by transitioning to an all-Airbus fleet anchored by the Airbus A220-300. The A220 delivers superior fuel efficiency and lower operating costs. A220 is equipped with modern amenities and technology, in turn boosting the travel experience of passengers. The A220’s extended range opens opportunities for new transcontinental and medium-haul markets.
5. Regional carrier, SkyWest, has entered into a strategic agreement as an equity investor in Maeve Aerospace. The move is in line with SKYW’s commitment to the advancement of modern, economic regional aviation solutions. The agreement provides SkyWest with exclusive Maeve launch customer rights. In the development phase, SkyWest will lend Maeve its extensive operations, performance, and design expertise. The association enhances SkyWest’s long-term strategy pertaining to fleet upgrade.

An expansion update from Alaska Airlines, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Alaska Air Group ALK, was also available in the past week.

A traffic-related update was also present in the previous week’s write-up.
Recap of the Latest Top Stories
1 JetBlue now anticipates available seat miles (ASMs) for the third quarter to be flat to up 1% year over year compared with the prior guidance of down 1% to up 2%. Further, JBLU anticipates third-quarter operating revenue per ASM (RASM) to decline in the range of 1.5%-4% year over year, an improvement from the prior outlook of 2%-6% decrease.
Consistency in air travel demand continued from the summer season through August and the Labor Day holiday, all of which was reflected in the rising number of bookings within 14 days of travel. Strong operational performance during August, in addition to the carrier’s cost management actions, aided JBLU’s non-fuel unit costs. JBLU now expects third-quarter costs per available seat mile (excluding fuel and special items) to increase in the range of 3.5-5.5%, down from the prior expectation of a 4%-6% increase.
2. As part of its expanded winter schedule, United Airlines aims to add flights to 15 cities, including Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and Las Vegas. Currently, UAL serves more than 225 U.S. cities and operates more than 4,000 domestic flights per day on average. This latest schedule expansion brings the count to 45 flights per day to Orlando, 30 to Fort Lauderdale and 43 to Las Vegas.
3. Alaska Airlines is set to enhance its international footprint with the launch of a new nonstop service from Seattle to Reykjavík, Iceland, beginning May 28, 2026. This expansion-oriented move not only provides passengers with access to Iceland’s natural wonders but also reinforces Alaska’s role as a global connector from the U.S. West Coast.
Through its expanded partnership with Icelandair (Iceland’s flagship carrier), the airline will offer seamless onward connections to multiple European destinations under a single ticket, underscoring Alaska’s growing ambition to compete in the transatlantic market.

Consolidated traffic, measured in revenue passenger-miles (RPM), grew 1.9% year over year. Although traffic improved on a year-over-year basis, it failed to outpace capacity expansion. As a result, the load factor decreased 2.3 percentage points year over year to 84.7%.
5. In August, Ryanair transported 21 million passengers, representing a 2% year-over-year increase. Apart from a year-over-year surge, RYAAY’s August traffic also reflects a straight eight-month improvement at a stretch from the beginning of 2025. The August load factor of 96% remained flat on a year-over-year and sequential basis, reflecting consistent passenger demand for the airline's services. During August 2025, RYAAY operated more than 114,000 flights. Ryanair currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

JetBlue Airways, United Airlines Complete DOT Review Of Blue Sky Partnership

C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. CHRW is scheduled to report second-quarter 2025 results on July 30, after market close.
C.H. Robinson has an encouraging earnings surprise history. The company’s earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average beat of 14.52%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Let’s see how things have shaped up for C.H. Robinson this earnings season.
Factors Likely to Have Influenced CHRW’s Q2 Performance
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CHRW’s second-quarter 2025 earnings has been revised downward by 1.68% in the past 60 days to $1.17 per share. However, the consensus mark implies 1.74% growth from the year-ago actuals.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CHRW’s second-quarter 2025 revenues is pegged at $4.22 billion, indicating a 5.87% decrease year over year. The top line is likely to have been weighed down by the divestiture of CHRW’s Europe Surface Transportation business, lower volume in its North America truckload services, and lower pricing in the ocean services.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for North American Surface Transportation’s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $2.97 billion, indicating a 0.8% decrease from the year-ago reported figure. Our estimate of $3.02 billion indicates a mere growth of 1% year over year. Lower truckload volume, reflecting a decline in market demand for freight, might have weighed on the segmental revenues.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Global Forwarding’s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $783 million, indicating a 14.9% decline from the year-ago reported figure. Our estimate of $764.1 million indicates a decline of 17.1% year over year. The downside is expected to have been caused by lower pricing in CHRW’s ocean services.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for All Other and Corporate (Robinson Fresh, Managed Services and Other Surface Transportation) second-quarter revenues is pegged at $467 million, indicating an 18.3% decline from the year-ago reported figure. Our estimate of $407.7 million indicates a decline of 28.8% year over year. The downside is likely to have been due to lower transaction volume and the divestiture of CHRW’s Europe Surface Transportation business.
What Our Model Says About CHRW
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for C.H. Robinson this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here.

Total revenues of $4.04 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.31 billion and fell 8.2% year over year, owing to the divestiture of CHRW’s Europe Surface Transportation business, lower volume in its North America truckload services, and lower pricing in the ocean services.

ODFL’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the preceding four quarters and met the mark once in the remaining quarter, delivering an average rise of 2.67%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Let’s see how things have shaped up for ODFL this earnings season.
Factors Likely to Have Influenced ODFL’s Q2 Performance
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ODFL’s second-quarter 2025 earnings per share has been revised downward by 1.53% in the past 60 days to $1.29 per share. Moreover, the consensus mark implies a 12.84% decline from the year-ago actuals.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ODFL’s second-quarter 2025 revenues is pegged at $1.42 billion, indicating a 5.55% decrease year over year. The top-line performance in the second quarter is expected to have suffered from weak freight demand, geopolitical uncertainty, tariff-related uncertainties and high inflationary pressure.
The freight market downturn is expected to have significantly impacted the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. The decline in demand for freight services is likely to have reduced shipments and rates, impacting the company’s top line.
Per our model, we expect revenues from LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) Services to be $1.41 billion, which indicates a decline of 5.3%, and other Services revenues to be $16.5 million, implying a rise of 20% from second-quarter 2024 actuals. Low fuel costs might aid the June quarter bottom-line results.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for Norfolk Southern this earnings season.
Factors Likely to Have Influenced NSC's Q2 Performance
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NSC’s second-quarter 2025 earnings has been revised upward by 0.62% in the past 60 days to $3.26 per share. Moreover, the consensus mark implies a 6.54% upside from the year-ago actual.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NSC’ssecond-quarter 2025 revenues is pegged at $3.13 billion, indicating 2.95% growth year over year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter Merchandise revenues is pegged at $1.96 billion, indicating 3.2% upside from the year-ago reported figure as well as above our estimate of $1.94 billion. In the Merchandise segment, gains in chemicals and agriculture businesses were expected to have been offset by weakness in the metals and construction segment.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter Intermodal revenues is pegged at $765 million, indicating 3.1% growth from the year-ago reported figure but below our estimate of $783.2 million. Intermodal revenues are expected to have been aided by strength across both domestic and international markets, coupled with stabilization in truck pricing.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter Coal revenues is pegged at $396 million, indicating a 0.5% decline from the year-ago reported figure and below our estimate of $409.8 million. In the coal segment, lower export coal prices are likely to be partially offset by strong electricity demand and support from higher natural gas prices.
E-commerce demand has been driving shipment volumes for Norfolk Southern and is likely to boost results. The company utilizes its Precision Scheduled Railroading operating plan to cut costs and improve service quality, ensuring efficient use of assets. NSC’s robust free cash flow generation also enables it to maintain steady, shareholder-friendly initiatives.
On the flip side, softness in the freight market and volumes is a negative for NSC and is likely to have hurt its performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Additionally, inflationary pressure, high interest rates, tariff-related uncertainties, weak freight demand and supply-chain disruptions also act as other headwinds for NSC’s prospects.

Norfolk Southern to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store for the Stock?

Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when JetBlue Airways (JBLU) reports results for the quarter ended June 2025. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 29, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on theearnings callwill mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This airline is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.31 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -487.5%.
Revenues are expected to be $2.29 billion, down 5.8% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 57.14% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for JetBlue?
For JetBlue, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.54%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that JetBlue will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that JetBlue would post a loss of$0.61 per share when it actually produced a loss of -$0.59, delivering a surprise of +3.28%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.
Bottom Line
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
JetBlue appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
An Industry Player's Expected Results
Another stock from the Zacks Transportation - Airline industry, American Airlines (AAL), is soon expected to post earnings of $0.79 per share for the quarter ended June 2025. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -27.5%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $14.29 billion, down 0.3% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus EPS estimate for American Airlines has been revised 48.1% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a lower Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.18%.
When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that American Airlines will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
