TOP PICK
DON'T BUY
In the last couple of weeks she has started hearing comments on airline capacity being higher and what impact that has on pricing and margins. This one is in a good position and has a low cost structure. The group has had a run and she would not be surprised at a pullback in US airlines.
Transportation
TOP PICK
Fourth-largest US airline. Mainly short-haul type of flights. 100% of its revenues are from the US. They have the most conservative and probably the healthiest balance sheet in terms of debt to capital ratio. Feels recent fears about the spreading Ebola epidemic has moved the stock downwards. Good valuation.

TOP PICK
One of the best run companies in the US. Earnings have come under pressure from competition and higher fuel costs. If earnings were normalized, the P/E would be in the mid teens.

This, along with the other airlines, dropped about 8%-10% yesterday, based on concerns about capacity and pricing pressures based on too much competition. That was well overdone. It oversold down to the 200 day moving average. All revenues are US domestic, so you don’t have to worry about the US$ tailwinds. Very healthy balance sheet. Dividend yield of 0.81%.
