An
Airline Turns a Profit!
By Ian L. Cooper
Instead
of touting Martin Denholm's recent Taipan
successes, we'll let him do the honors.
We're sure you won't mind the good news he has
to share. Here he is now with more on his JetBlue
and Suncor recommendations:
“An
airline turns a profit. No, that isn't a typo.
I know it seems strange to read such a headline
these days, but the news actually belongs to
JetBlue (JBLU:NASDAQ) - a
long-time member of my Taipan portfolio.
“Net
income finished at US$2.4 million (2 cents per
share), down sharply from US$19.5 million (17
cents per share) a year earlier - but still
a profit! Analysts had expected JetBlue to suffer
its first quarterly dip into the red, projecting
a loss of 4 cents per share.
“While
rising fuel costs continue to cripple all the
airlines' profit margins, JetBlue was able to
save just over US$13 million by hedging a substantial
portion of its fuel expenses. It also posted
a 27% leap in operating revenue to US$334 million.
“One
of JetBlue's most lucrative routes is the East
Coast corridor that extends from its New York
hub to several major cities in Florida. But
bookings suffered because of the four hurricanes
that struck that state in September, with the
fallout extending into October. That's in addition
to the current fierce competition within the
airline sector.
“But,
against that backdrop, JetBlue is one of just
three airlines to turn a quarterly profit, the
others being Southwest and AirTran. For the
last two years, the stock has broken higher
around March (spring break time), so I'm holding
till then. Depending on what happens in the
oil market, we may look to cash out later this
year.
***
“Suncor's Sunny Quarter: There was good news
for my September 2004 pick, Suncor Energy
(SU:NYSE) . The Calgary-based oil sand
mining company, the world's second largest,
said fourth-quarter profits rose 10% to C$333
million (US$269 million) or 73 cents per share.
“This
came despite a 5.4% drop in oil production to
222,500 barrels per day (bpd), as repair work
in November caused some of its oil sand operations
to be shut down. A January fire in one of its
two oil sand upgrading units means production
will be approximately half normal levels (110,000
bpd) until the third quarter. But the company's
property loss and business interruption insurance
policy covers it for US$1.1 billion.
“And
with repairs already in progress, Suncor has
wisely brought forward other maintenance work
scheduled for later this year. After that, the
company expects production to increase to 260,000
bpd by the end of 2005.
“With
gains of 16.5% since September, keep holding
for now.”
