Hi Everyone. Mathis Conner here with Conner Management Group and this week we're going to look at

0:07

 

the best transportation stock to buy right now. Today is Thursday, January 16, 2014. Alright from the slide

0:18

 

which you can tell is that the industry is regional airline and the we see this

0:25

 

name is having the upside potential of 18.8% From the next slide you can

0:33

 

see that the name is not all that unfamiliar its JetBlue Airways. The ticker symbol is JBLU.

0:42

 

Once again we see this has an upside potential of 18.8% over the next 12 months. Now for the business summary. of JetBlue

0:51

 

Airways Corporation. a passenger airline company provides air transportation services. The company

0:56

 

also provides in-flight entertainment for commercial aircraft, including live

1:01

 

in seat settling television, and a number of other a communication related services. Another

1:11

 

description I have is JetBlue Airways is a passenger airline that primarily uses a point-to-point

1:17

 

route system as opposed to the more common hub and spoke model. They serve about 75 destinations

1:25

 

in 23 states, plus Puerto Rico, Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America. Their focus is on underserved markets

1:34

 

and metropolitan areas with high average fares. Major bases are New York JFK and

1:42

 

Boston Logan. So that paints a little more color on their business operations. Their website is

1:50

 

www.JetBlue, J-E-T-B-L-U-E, dot com. The company's headquarters is in Queens New York. They were

2:01

 

founded in 1998. The number employees they have is 12,124. Once again, their ticker symbols JBLU.

2:13

 

The super sector is transportation. The sector itself is services and the industry that JetBlue

2:22

 

falls under is of course our regional airlines. JetBlue's revenues over the last 12 months totaled $5.27 billion

2:31

 

The net income was $122 million. That sounds a little small against the size revenue. And cash from

2:40

 

operations however is at $722 million. The market capitalization for JetBlue stands at $2.54

2:49

 

billion. On to their products and services page. We have some pictures from the JetBlue

2:59

 

website. We've got the logo JetBlue airlines. We have a picture of a jet in front of

3:06

 

a JetBlue hanger. We've got a map showing their major destinations. Its clear that their

3:14

 

their primary hub is out of New York. It looks like they have secondary hubs out of Boston, Fort Lauderdale,

3:22

 

Long Beach California as well as Oakland California. We also have a picture of a JetBlue airline taking

3:30

 

off. A picture out of a window overlooking an engine and some snow covered mountains.

3:40

 

So thats what we have on their products and services page. Just pictures of the jets and their routes.

3:49

 

Some of JetBlue's key metrics. And once again annual revenues of $5.27 billion, net income

3:56

 

of $122 million and cash from operations of 722 million. Their operating margins were fairly flat.

4:07

 

For 2012, operating margins and 12.7% and for and 2013 are tracking to be 13%, just slightly

4:16

 

better. On to their valuation metrics. JetBlue's trailing P/E ratio right now is 23.4 and its

4:27

 

forward P/E ratios is at 13.4. So some healthy expansion of earnings is expected.

4:35

 

The PEG ratio is 0.8. Anything below one is considered to be somewhat of a bargain.

4:44

 

The prices sales ratio is 0.5. That is also low but I also know it's not unusual for a company

4:53

 

transportation sector to have low price to sales ratios. The price to book ratio is reasonable at 1.3. And enterprise

5:02

 

value to ebitda is at 6.9. So overall we we have what I would say are some some low

5:12

 

valuation metrics. The 23.4 P/E ratio maybe you could argue is a bit rich now but it is expected to

5:21

 

come down a bit. The other valuation metrics which we just talked about are definitely

5:28

 

in that on the low side range. This is the kind of thing that will make you wonder if this is a

5:34

 

good value stock I should take a closer look at. The recent closing price of JetBlue

5:40

 

yesterday it was $8.98, the 52-week low was $5.70 and it 52-week high was $9.22.

5:52

 

so right now JetBlue that is trading closer to 62 five slowness or short and the 20 day

5:59

 

moving average for JetBlue stands at $8.71 the 50 day moving average $8.55 and 200 day

6:09

 

moving average is $7.08 so that relationship tells you) that you had stock prices and somewhat

6:21

 

steady increase the average volume for JetBlue daily daily trading volume set 6.4 million

6:29

 

shares of day so that the stock is definitely traded this is the data is at 0.6 so it is

6:38

 

less local than the box. Market in general and dividend yield is at 0% and the average

6:46

 

dividend payout ratio zero cents of JetBlue doesn't pay dividends onto

6:51

 

were taken look at JetBlue's truck over the past year and what we see is as back around

7:02

 

the end of February the stock price was just a little over six dollars around six dollars

7:10

 

and then meandered jump into seven a month later and then down to six dollars in July

7:19

 

and that from July stock increased somewhat somewhat steadily up until around see mid-November

7:30

 

rate jumped up to almost 9 dollars.9 dollars and then you pull back maybe $.50 and early

7:41

 

December and you know right now that $8.90 nine dollars so stock it has increased over

7:52

 

the past year to come to our assessment about financial statement quality JetBlue's I'll

8:02

 

have to admit their financial statement quality is fair community that I tend to like to choose

8:12

 

stock that had that have pretty solid financial statements in most cases some interesting

8:19

 

circumstances but you airlines do not know that the strongest statements in general and

8:27

 

and and once again this is the strongest transportation stock that which we see right now so although

8:34

 

the vast statements are fair and you know in general lot airlines do have great financial

8:42

 

statements to begin with so you know Raleigh you might consider being in the middle attack

8:48

 

works with fair finance statements that operating margins as we mentioned earlier is is flat

8:55

 

80 overall agreement amount that they have it's doing five years stands at $2.2 billion

9:04

 

this sales of the past five years and increase an average of 3.5% per year thereafter earnings-per-share

9:15

 

are expected to increase over the next year you know. Their fuel expenses have been coming

9:25

 

down the maintenance costs have been coming down and they continue to have focus on expanding

9:34

 

into Sunday current markets and the date masonry senescence of doing cochair of codesharing

9:46

 

programs with South Africa Asia the united Arab emirates so the company has some some

9:54

 

love nice upside potential land which was related to part of the Outlook on their earnings

10:01

 

which which makes this an attractive by it so you know that are just some article Russell/St.

10:09

 

Paul receives there to bring marked trend is flat there are some some positive activities

10:17

 

going on inside the company the price pattern trend misusing increasing segment would imagine

10:24

 

the start that JetBlue and its potentials getting out there and you overall are market

10:29

 

outlook is still scares me to the past week were started season change the armor love

10:37

 

overvalued stocks but you get JetBlue weekly BCS is having some nice outside the next year

10:46

 

the recent closing prices much right now is and yesterday's close 8000 $.98 and are our

10:53

 

model live has a 12 month price target for JetBlue and $10.67 so that provides it up

11:03

 

a 12 month upside potential of 18.8% and the next JetBlue deathly worth taking a look at

11:13
