They're going to have to grow back, but they're going to get through this,\" he toldYahoo Finance Live, while cautioning that passengers may still be wary of traveling to locked-down locations.</p><p>\"They've been afraid to get to New York City and find out it's under quarantine, or LA is shut down, or things like that. When we get more confidence in the destination we're going to see more people flying. But right now, no one wants to fly to a place where they can't buy a hamburger,\" said Boyd, the president of Boyd Group International, which provides analysis for airports and aviation businesses.</p><p>The data backs up Boyd's contention that the airline industry is recovering. According to theTransportation Security Administration, more than 1 million people passed each day through the nation's airports between March 11 and March 28. By March 28, that number was over 1.5 million. During that same period in 2020, the number fell from 1.7 million to 184,000, as the coronavirus shuttered much of the nation's economy.</p><p>Of course, that's lower than numbers in 2019, when the daily number of passengers fluctuated between 2.1 million and 2.6 million. Analysts are still encouraged by the numbers, though.</p><p><b>'We are within weeks of widespread reopening'</b></p><p>\"U.S. airline trends appear encouraging as the bookings recovery (early March through present) is the strongest it has been so far in the pandemic at 70-80% of 2019 levels,\" Raymond James Analyst Savanthi Syth told clients in her most recent note.</p><p>While U.S. domestic fares remain up to 20% lower than comparable fares in 2019, Syth pointed out that the average round-trip U.S. domestic fares for May to August have increased.</p><p>\"We believe JetBlue(JBLU), Spirit(SAVE), and, to a lesser extent, United Airlines(UAL)have the most favorable near term fare trends and, thus, revenue recovery trends. Nonetheless, all U.S. airlines appear to be benefiting from a broad-based strengthening of fares into March,\" Syth said.</p><p>Meanwhile, Cowen airline analyst Helane Becker anticipates a sustained increase in travel starting Memorial Day weekend. \"With vaccines rolling out in the US, we believe we are within weeks of widespread reopening and an increase in travel,\" she said in a recent note.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f6f4d81895b82ecdabdb5520bea8417\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Delta Airlines planes and a British Airways plane (2nd L) are pictured at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, on the day Delta CEO Ed Bastian told employees he was cutting 40% of capacity in the coming months, the largest in the airline's history, in addition to pursuing aid, in SeaTac, Washington, U.S. March 13, 2020.

They're going to have to grow back, but they're going to get through this,\" he toldYahoo Finance Live, while cautioning that passengers may still be wary of traveling to locked-down locations.\"They've been afraid to get to New York City and find out it's under quarantine, or LA is shut down, or things like that. When we get more confidence in the destination we're going to see more people flying. But right now, no one wants to fly to a place where they can't buy a hamburger,\" said Boyd, the president of Boyd Group International, which provides analysis for airports and aviation businesses.The data backs up Boyd's contention that the airline industry is recovering. According to theTransportation Security Administration, more than 1 million people passed each day through the nation's airports between March 11 and March 28. By March 28, that number was over 1.5 million. During that same period in 2020, the number fell from 1.7 million to 184,000, as the coronavirus shuttered much of the nation's economy.Of course, that's lower than numbers in 2019, when the daily number of passengers fluctuated between 2.1 million and 2.6 million. Analysts are still encouraged by the numbers, though.'We are within weeks of widespread reopening'\"U.S. airline trends appear encouraging as the bookings recovery (early March through present) is the strongest it has been so far in the pandemic at 70-80% of 2019 levels,\" Raymond James Analyst Savanthi Syth told clients in her most recent note.While U.S. domestic fares remain up to 20% lower than comparable fares in 2019, Syth pointed out that the average round-trip U.S. domestic fares for May to August have increased.\"We believe JetBlue(JBLU), Spirit(SAVE), and, to a lesser extent, United Airlines(UAL)have the most favorable near term fare trends and, thus, revenue recovery trends. Nonetheless, all U.S. airlines appear to be benefiting from a broad-based strengthening of fares into March,\" Syth said.Meanwhile, Cowen airline analyst Helane Becker anticipates a sustained increase in travel starting Memorial Day weekend. \"With vaccines rolling out in the US, we believe we are within weeks of widespread reopening and an increase in travel,\" she said in a recent note.Delta Airlines planes and a British Airways plane (2nd L) are pictured at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, on the day Delta CEO Ed Bastian told employees he was cutting 40% of capacity in the coming months, the largest in the airline's history, in addition to pursuing aid, in SeaTac, Washington, U.S. March 13, 2020.

Apple seems to have remembered numbers two and four: “good design makes a product useful” and “good design makes a product understandable”.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":430,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":109357287,"gmtCreate":1619667614649,"gmtModify":1634210861581,"author":{"id":"3580185982873193","authorId":"3580185982873193","name":"ICEY12","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e6a4c00e7a21e0d1c4ea7474f736cb7d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Awesome[得意]&nbsp;","listText":"Awesome[得意]&nbsp;","text":"Awesome[得意]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/109357287","repostId":"1137964402","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1137964402","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1619651546,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1137964402?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-29 07:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple reports another blowout quarter with sales up 54%, authorizes $90 billion in share buybacks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1137964402","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Apple reported a blowout quarter on Wednesday, announcing companywide sales up 54% higher than last year, and significantly stronger profits than Wall Street expected.Apple did not issue official guidance for what it expects in the quarter ending in June.Apple authorized $90 billion in share buybacks.Apple stock rose over 4% at one point in extended trading.Apple reported double-digit growth in every single one of its product categories, and its most important product line, the iPhone, was up 65","content":"<p><b>KEY POINTS</b></p><ul><li>Apple reported a blowout quarter on Wednesday, announcing companywide sales up 54% higher than last year, and&nbsp;significantly stronger profits than Wall Street expected.</li><li>Apple did not issue official guidance for what it expects in the quarter ending in June.</li><li>Apple authorized $90 billion in share buybacks.</li></ul><p>Apple&nbsp;reported&nbsp;a blowout quarter&nbsp;on Wednesday, announcing companywide sales up 54% higher than last year, and&nbsp;significantly stronger profits than Wall Street expected.</p><p>Apple stock rose over 4% at one point in extended trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e791f63f460807906f1793c2d58933e\" tg-width=\"1302\" tg-height=\"833\"></p><p>Apple reported double-digit growth in every single one of its product categories, and its&nbsp;most important product line, the iPhone, was up 65.5% from last year.

They're going to have to grow back, but they're going to get through this,\" he toldYahoo Finance Live, while cautioning that passengers may still be wary of traveling to locked-down locations.\"They've been afraid to get to New York City and find out it's under quarantine, or LA is shut down, or things like that. When we get more confidence in the destination we're going to see more people flying. But right now, no one wants to fly to a place where they can't buy a hamburger,\" said Boyd, the president of Boyd Group International, which provides analysis for airports and aviation businesses.The data backs up Boyd's contention that the airline industry is recovering.
