Diamond Hill Mid Cap Anthony Philipp | “Shares of regional airline Alaska Air Group were pressured meaningfully in the quarter following the tariff announcements, which raised questions among investors about the overall macroeconomic outlook. This gave us an attractive opportunity to reestablish a position in a business we know well — and which we had recently exited after it reached our estimate of intrinsic value — at a compelling valuation. BSD Analysis: Alaska is one of the better-run airlines in a structurally tough industry. Its focus on the West Coast and strong loyalty partnerships (including with a major global alliance) give it a defensible network. Cost discipline has historically been a differentiator, even as labor and fuel pressures bite. The company tends to avoid the worst excesses of capacity arms races that plague larger peers. Any airline stock comes with macro and shock risk, but Alaska's balance sheet and brand are relatively strong. As corporate and leisure travel patterns stabilize, it can get back to delivering respectable returns. You don't buy airlines for safety, but if you must own one, Alaska is among the saner choices.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
