Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about JetBlue Airways Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Even though shares of JetBlue Airways have underperformed its industry so far this year, the carrier received good news when it reported better-than-expected revenues and earnings per share in the second quarter of 2017. The carrier performed well with respect to unit revenues in the second quarter of 2017. PRASM increased 5.9% , while RASM climbed 7% . Yield per passenger mile improved 5.7%. JetBlue's efforts to expand its popular premium service (Mint) and reduce debt levels are also encouraging. The carrier's deal with Goldman Sachs for implementing an accelerated share buyback program is another positive. However, high costs are likely to continue hurting bottom-line growth." (8/7/2017)
