Alaska Air Group (ALK) outlined Q3 fuel costs at $3.75 per gallon and projected earnings between breakeven and $1 per share. The guidance follows a challenging Q2 2026, where the airline reported a GAAP net loss of $76 million.
Excluding special items, the adjusted net loss widened to $102 million. The prior quarter saw weaker financial performance, reflecting ongoing cost pressures and operational challenges in the aviation sector.
