Zacks’ analyst wrote, “We downgrade our recommendation on JetBlue AirwaysCorporation(NASDAQ:JBLU) from Outperform to Neutral owing to its weak first-quarter 2014 results. Both the top and the bottom line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Increased price competition from rivals, rising pilot compensation and rise in other operating expenses remain major concerns for JetBlue. However, network expansion, cost control and increased focus on differentiated product offerings is expected to drive the company’s performance. We believe the recent slot wins in Reagan Airport in addition to JetBlue’s emphasis on expansion in major growth regions like Boston, Fort Lauderdale, the Caribbean and Latin America, will support future growth. Moreover, elimination of certain long haul flights, fleet re-designing, cost-saving moves and lucrative strategic partnerships are expected to create tailwinds for JetBlue going ahead.” JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU) ended the last trading day at $10.05. Company weekly volatility is calculated as 2.84% and price to cash ratio as 4.76 . showed a positive weekly performance of 8.53 %.
