    Southwest Airlines Just Dropped 14% in a Month. Is It Time to Sell?

    Southwest Airlines (LUV) shares dropped 14% over the past month, underperforming other major carriers and the airline sector fund. This decline is largely attributed to its decision to scrap its fuel hedging program, leaving it fully exposed to rising crude oil prices, unlike its hedged competitors. The airline also issued a wide guidance range for full-year EPS, adding to investor uncertainty despite strong Q2 earnings.
