Confident Investor Rating Poor
Target stock price (TWCA growth scenario) $7.15
Target stock price (averages with growth) $8.25
Target stock price (averages with no growth) $8.38
Target stock price (manual assumptions) $8.72

Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I do not think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in this stock. Not only are nearly all of the metrics bad for this company, but their decision to purchase another airline violates my principle of investing in companies that make a major acquisition or divestiture. Major acquisitions can be good in the long term but too often in the short term the process diverts the attention of executive management. This is likely to be the case for Southwest as they have not made that many acquisitions in the past. I don’t say this too much on this site but I suggest that you sell this stock if you currently own it.

Confident Investor Rating Good
Target stock price (TWCA growth scenario) $175.1
Target stock price (averages with growth) $624.43
Target stock price (averages with no growth) $749.76
Target stock price (manual assumptions) $166.01

Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in this stock. I am slightly concerned that the employee productivity of this company is so low. With their business model, I would expect this number to be much better. This could be a sign that they have more productivity to scale out or that there is a problem inherently with their management.
