SkyWest Inc (SKYW) is not a strong buy for a beginner investor with a long-term focus at this moment. While the company has shown solid revenue growth and exceeded Q4 2025 earnings expectations, the recent pre-market price decline of -2.32%, neutral technical indicators, and lack of strong trading signals suggest waiting for a clearer entry point. Additionally, analysts have a neutral stance, and the stock's short-term trend indicates potential downside in the next month.
The MACD is positive and contracting, indicating a weakening upward momentum. RSI is neutral at 54.883, and moving averages are converging, signaling no clear trend. The stock is trading near its pivot level of 101.942, with key resistance at 106.759 and support at 97.125. Overall, the technical indicators suggest a neutral trend.
SkyWest exceeded Q4 2025 earnings and revenue expectations, with an 8% YoY revenue growth. Full-year 2025 net income increased by 33%, showcasing strong overall performance.
Analysts have a neutral rating on the stock, and the pre-market price is down by -2.32%. Additionally, the stock's short-term trend suggests a potential -5.02% decline over the next month.
In Q4 2025, SkyWest reported $1.02 billion in revenue, an 8.48% YoY increase. However, net income dropped to $91.16 million (-6.39% YoY), EPS declined to $2.21 (-5.56% YoY), and gross margin fell to 60.06 (-5.34% YoY). Despite strong revenue growth, profitability metrics weakened.
Citi analyst John Godyn initiated coverage with a Neutral rating and a $112 price target. The analyst views the airline sector positively for the long term but sees better risk/reward opportunities in larger airlines, with SkyWest positioned as a less favorable option.
