    The airline is down about 22 percent in the past year. Profitability has been light, as the company has yet to reach pre-pandemic traffic and has had to contend with rising fuel costs as oil prices have soared. However, with oil prices easing, the company looks more attractive at under 10 times forward earnings estimates.
    Action to take: With shares trading just under 0.5 times price to sales, they’re at their cheapest valuation since the pandemic selloff. Shares can likely rise with fuel costs coming down. The stock doesn’t currently pay a dividend.

    For traders, the January $40 calls, last going for about $1.55, look like a reasonable trade here. The market has trended up in recent weeks, so traders likely have a few more weeks to profit from rising prices in the market. These options can potentially deliver high double-digit returns.
