SkyWest Sees 1% to 2% Block-Hour Growth and Similar EPS in 2027

SkyWest expects block-hour production to grow 1% to 2% in 2027, with earnings per share near the 2026 level despite an estimated $0.60-per-share headwind from lower deferred-revenue recognition. The company forecasts 2026 GAAP EPS of about $10.60. Its 2027 outlook calls for a similar result, with the deferred-revenue headwind measured against 2026. The 2026 forecast assumes fourth-quarter fuel costs of $4.90 per gallon. Higher fuel costs have pressured SkyWest’s prorate business, and the company expects to offset only part of fuel increases. SkyWest posted third-quarter 2026 net income of $120 million, or $3.08 per diluted share.
