Skywest

SkyWest president and CEO Russell A. Childs sold 50,500 shares on July 28 for about $5.7 million, trimming his direct stake by 13% while retaining roughly 346,190 directly held shares and $38 million in remaining equity. The sale was an open-market transaction across prices of $111.02–$114.21 and did not involve option exercises or 401(k) holdings, which remained unchanged. SkyWest posted Q2 revenue growth but saw net income fall to $101 million on higher fuel costs and is guiding full-year earnings around $11 per share; demand and flight activity are rising but fuel volatility could affect near-term results. » Más en finance.yahoo.com

SkyWest reported Q2 revenue up 7% to $1.1 billion, reduced total debt to $2.3 billion and its board authorized an additional $250 million for share repurchases. CFO Robert J. Simmons sold 25,000 shares (about 21% of his direct holding) on July 29, following a CEO sale the prior day, though Simmons still holds roughly $10.2 million in stock. Management sales come amid solid demand but margin pressure from higher fuel costs; investors should weigh buybacks against continued insider selling and fuel-price volatility. » Más en finance.yahoo.com

Three SkyWest executives executed open-market sales over three consecutive days, most recently Greg Wooley, executive VP of Operations, who sold 17,726 shares (25% of his direct holdings) at a weighted average price of $108.55 and retains 53,323 shares. The sales followed quarterly results showing Q2 revenue up 7% to $1.1 billion but lower net income due to higher fuel costs; SkyWest reported a 99.9% adjusted completion rate across nearly 228,000 flights. While the operational performance and strong demand remain intact, the consecutive insider sales represent a pattern long-term investors should note. » Más en finance.yahoo.com
