  • Barclays analyst Brandon Oglenski upgraded Southwest Airlines Co LUV to Overweight from Equal Weight and raised the price target to $75, from $64, implying an upside of 37.96%.
  • Oglenski says that while the recovery has taken longer than expected, "bluer skies ahead for airlines." 
  • He further adds, with "ample support" from U.S. taxpayers via cash grants and some low-cost loans, airline balance sheets have been kept in relatively healthy shape.
  • Southwest affords long-term investors a "fortress balance sheet, favorable order book with Boeing and a historically profitable business model," says Oglenski, favoring low cost and low fare airlines.
