Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

SkyWest, Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is expensive. You pay 31.9× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 12% yearly growth; analysts expect 7%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analysts lean positive.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
