Published on 09/11/2026 at 23:38 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Alaska Air Group stock (ISIN US0116591092) closed at USD 40.04 on September 10, 2026, and the shares now trade well below the 52-week high of USD 65.88. Barclays cut its price target to USD 52 from USD 65, according to Moomoo on September 11, 2026.
Barclays trims the view
That note matters because MarketBeat shows a consensus price target of USD 61.12 and a Moderate Buy rating, while the stock ended the last session at USD 40.04. The gap puts the new Barclays view below the street average, even after the share price added 0.80 percent from the prior close.
MarketBeat also lists the 52-week range at USD 33.03 to USD 65.88, market capitalization at USD 4.46 billion and volume at 2.43 million shares for September 10, 2026. Those figures frame a stock that is still far from its yearly peak but has already moved off the low end of the range.
Latest reported numbers
For the latest quarter, MarketBeat says Alaska Air Group reported revenue of USD 4.07 billion and earnings per share of USD -0.92 on July 21, 2026. Revenue was up 9.7 percent year over year, and EPS beat the consensus estimate by USD 0.07.
MarketBeat also says the company set Q3 2026 guidance at EPS of USD 0.00 to USD 1.00. For investors, that guidance range now matters more than the past quarter because it gives the clearest near-term check on margins and demand.
Stock stays below resistance
With the stock at USD 40.04 on September 10, 2026, Alaska Air Group remains well below the USD 52 target cited by Barclays and below the USD 61.12 consensus target from MarketBeat. The next visible reference point is the 52-week high at USD 65.88, which still sits 64.4 percent above the last close.
