The Richest Woman in the World: How Gina Rinehart Earns her Billions
Why Dell Will Never Be Great AgainThough JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ: JBLU)'s Chief Executive Dave Barger seems to be bringing much needed focus to the plucky airline whose reputation was damaged by service disruptions in February, investors should continue to avoid the stock for now.
JetBlue currently trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 21, higher than Southwest Airlines Corp. (NYSE: LUV) and American Airlines parent AMR Corp. (NYSE: AMR), so the shares are no bargain. Plus, Barger told the Wall Street Journal that he wasn't interested in selling the airline, which rules out any buyout premium.
"I wouldn't welcome any overture. In an acquisition, the product would get lost. The focus on costs would get lost," he told the paper. "Most importantly, this relationship we have with our crew members, 11,500 strong, [would be lost]. I just don't think that's a good solution for us."
