Boarding1Now Southwest Airlines ( LUV ) demonstrated strong cost discipline and swung to a profit as demand for its new product offerings, including upgrades, drove record first-quarter revenue and improved margins. These results were achieved despite significantly higher fuel costs and macroeconomic uncertainty that led the company to warn that updating its $4.00 full-year EPS guidance would "not be productive at this time.” “Achieving this outcome would require lower fuel prices and/or stronger revenue performance to offset higher fuel expense,” the company said, adding that it expects to provide updates to guidance “as appropriate.” The cautious outlook overshadowed constructive first-quarter results and weighed on shares in after-hours trading, with LUV down 4.3% after closing Wednesday’s session with a loss of 3.8%. For the first quarter, Southwest ( LUV ) reported record passenger revenue of $6.6B, up 13.4% year-over-year, while operating revenue rose 12.8% to a record $7.2B. Capacity increased 1.5%. The improved metrics helped Southwest ( LUV ) earn a profit of $227M, or $0.45 per share, up from a loss of $0.26 per share in the prior year’s quarter, but 2 cents less than expected. And thanks to the carrier’s “broad set of commercial, operational, and cost initiatives,” operating margin showed a “meaningful” margin expansion of 810 basis points to 4.6%. For the current quarter, Southwest ( LUV ) anticipates an adjusted profit of $0.35 to $0.65 per share versus estimates for a profit of $0.62 per share. Available seat mile (ASM) and revenue per available seat mile (RASM) are expected to be flat to up 1.0%, and 16.5% to 18.5%, respectively. Cost per available seat mile excluding fuel (CASM-X) is seen increasing 3.5% to 4.0% in the second quarter, which includes an expected 1.2 point impact from the removal of six seats from the Boeing 727-700 fleet to provide extra legroom.

Getty Images Bally's Corporation ( BALY ) still has significant growth ambition. The gaming operator's majority-owned Bally’s Intralot S.A. ( IRLTF ) is in talks with Evoke plc ( EIHDF ) to expand more into the European gaming market. Ultimately, Bally’s current very high debt, existing investment plans, and mixed financials don’t seem to support constant new acquisitions—I believe that Bally’s remains a very risky investment. I initiated the stock at a Hold rating in my previous September 2025 article on the stock, titled “ Bally's: High Debt, High Ambition in Las Vegas. ” The stock has since returned 4%, while the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) has returned 6%. My Rating History on BALY (Seeking Alpha) High Debt Makes Bally's Evoke Acquisition Ambition Risky Bally’s growth ambition remains very high. After completing the previous transaction with Intralot in late 2025, creating Bally’s Intralot, of which Bally’s holds a controlling 58% stake, the company has already announced it will acquire a Louisiana casino from Boyd Gaming Corporation ( BYD ). Meanwhile, it is eyeing expensive multi-billion investments in new casinos in both New York and Las Vegas. Bally's is trying to grow in many directions. The mentioned growth investments don’t describe Bally’s ambition completely; Bally’s Intralot is now also in talks to acquire Evoke and has made a $304 million offer to acquire the company. Evoke is a European gaming operator with notable brands like William Hill, 888casino, Mr. Green, and others, generating $2.4 billion in revenue and $175 million in operating income over the past twelve months. The acquisition target has nearly $2.4 billion in interest-bearing debts as well, though. Evoke’s equity valuation has been pushed very low as the company is struggling to manage its debt load. In my opinion, the transaction’s rationale is shaky. It’s uncertain whether Bally’s Intralot and Evoke would have significant operational synergies, which would make the acquisition target more valuab...

Core Scientific Inc . sold $3.3 billion in a high-yield note sale, marking the latest risky borrowing tied to AI infrastructure construction. The five-year bonds were priced at a discounted price of 99.25 cents on the dollar to yield 7.933%, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter. That’s one the highest yields for data-center-linked junk bond deals so far this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The rapid expansion of AI has strained supplies of data center space, graphics processing chips and power, driving companies to tap every corner of the US debt market to finance new capacity. Firms tied to the buildout have raised more than $19 billion from riskier bonds so far this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Investors have demonstrated a preference to buy junk bonds tied to projects backed by investment-grade firms such as Alphabet Inc .’s Google and Amazon.com Inc. , while demanding steeper premiums from offerings lacking such backstop. The Core Scientific deal came just a day after Edged Compute LLC raised $1.3 billion from a high-yield bond offering at a yield of 7.5%. A record $5.7 billion bond for Google-linked data centers priced at 6.25% last week. The Austin, Texas-based Core Scientific is developing data centers across five states, fully leased to CoreWeave Inc. under a 12-year contract that could generate about $10 billion in revenue. Elevated exposure to CoreWeave, a speculative-grade tenant, capped the offering’s credit rating, S&P Ratings said. Core Scientific Finance I LLC, the issuing unit, will use the proceeds to fund a debt service reserve account and distribute funds to its parent, which plans to fully repay its delayed-draw term loan, the company said in a statement. The company, with a market value of $6.69 billion, said it will fund its subsidiary as needed to ensure timely completion of data center projects in Georgia, Texas, North Carolina and Oklahoma “in the event that the proceeds of the notes and other av...
