    Weekly Stock ListSmall- and mid-cap stocks (SMID) have underperformed large-caps over the past 12 months, but may be in a better position to generate market-beating returns going forward. For one thing, SMID companies tend to focus on domestic markets, so their businesses could be less disrupted by the fallout from unrest in the Middle East, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, events related to China, or other geopolitical developments. As well, the prices of SMID stocks generally are lower than the prices of large-caps, with the P/E ratio on the Russell 2000 Small-Cap Index of 13 compared to a trailing P/E of 25 for the S&P 500. Finally, there are long stretches in the record books when SMID stocks have outperformed large-caps. From 2003-2021, for example, the Russell 2000 Index had climbed 450%, compared to an advance of 330% for the S&P 500 index. Here are the stocks with market caps below $20 billion that are on the Argus BUY list and recently were added to Argus' Mid-Cap Theme Model Portfolio.

    Southwest's expected 2024 Boeing jet deliveries keep shrinking, sources say

    CHICAGO/MONTREAL (Reuters) -Southwest Airlines expects aircraft deliveries from Boeing this year to come in at only about half of the airline's estimate in March of 46, putting further pressure on the U.S. budget carrier's growth plans, three people familiar with the matter said. Boeing's overall deliveries fell by half in March as 737 MAX production slumped on increased quality checks and regulatory audits as it grapples with a safety crisis sparked by a January mid-air cabin panel blowout on an Alaska Air flight. The jetmaker's woes have rippled throughout the industry, but Southwest, which operates an all-Boeing fleet, is one of the hardest-hit.

    Consistent air travel demand is 'a new normal': Analyst

    Delta Air Lines (DAL) managed to move ahead of industry turbulence, posting better-than-expected first quarter profits. Delta CEO Ed Bastian told Yahoo Finance that the company has seen the 11 highest sales days in the airline's history this year alone. Raymond James Managing Director Savanthi Syth joins Market Domination for an airline industry check-in. Syth says the Delta report shows strong results and that any negative stock action on Wednesday is the market's reaction to macro concerns related to geopolitics and the inflationary picture. The consistency of demand for air travel demand constitutes a "new normal" in Syth's view: the demand is driven by leisure and visiting friends and relatives (VFR) travel but also by slowly recovering corporate travel in the tech and finance sectors. Though Syth claims jet fuel prices have remained elevated, she considers them "manageable." She adds that jet fuel prices may strain capacity if demand can't bear the costs passed on to consumers. Still, the market demonstrates that consumers now value experiences more, so possible financial pullbacks may not impact travel, she adds.

    UPDATE 1-NTSB says Southwest engine cover loss caused by maintenance issue

    The loss of an engine cover on a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 on Sunday that fell off during takeoff in Denver and struck the wing flap was the result of a maintenance issue, the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Wednesday. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy told reporters after a Senate hearing the airplane had been in for maintenance the night before the incident in which it lost the engine cowling. The NTSB had sent a structural engineer who lives in Denver to look at the plane but was satisfied with its understanding of the incident.

    Airlines may struggle to keep pace with demand: Analyst

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating after an engine cover fell off a Southwest Airlines (LUV) Boeing (BA) 737 Max jet during takeoff. TD Cowen Senior Research Analyst Helane Becker joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss her outlook on the airline sector amid this incident. Considering the large number of flights that take off daily without incident, Becker states that the Southwest incident would not cause her to change her short-term outlook on Southwest's stock. Nonetheless, Becker expresses broader concerns about the airline sector's ability to keep up with growing demand. She cites three key factors holding the industry back: increased oversight, delivery and production delays, and costs rising faster than revenues, impacting profit margins. Despite these challenges, Becker names Delta (DAL) and United (UAL) as good buying opportunities in the airline sector, as demand is expected to recover for the summer months.
