Shares of travel-related companies are trading higher amid TSA traveler screening data which showed higher figures for the end of 2024.

The airline industry has taken off in 2024, outpacing even the high-flying tech sector. The U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>), a fund that tracks the airline sector, is up 34% year-to-date as of Dec. 27, compared to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech">Nasdaq 100's 27% gain.</a>
This surge reflects robust demand for premium travel, strategic operational shifts, and booming holiday traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Travel Frenzy Lifts Airline ETF</h3>
Thanksgiving marked a pivotal moment for airline stocks this year. Over the six-day travel period, the TSA screened an estimated 18.3 million passengers—a 6% increase from 2023—pushing the JETS ETF up nearly 6% for November. 
"As a pure consumer play, JETS is a way for investors to capitalize on peak holiday travel, which is expected to see records this year," recently said Kent Thune, research analyst at ETF.com. 
The expert attributed the ETF's recent gains to declining fuel costs and strong seasonal demand. Since August, the JETS ETF has outperformed the tech-heavy Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) by robust 31 percentage points. 
JETS' portfolio is heavily weighted toward U.S. airlines with 70% stake, including a 10% weight in American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) and 8.5% in budget carrier Southwest Airlines Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>). The ETF also holds smaller positions in Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>), and TripAdvisor Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRIP#NASDAQ">TRIP</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Premium Demand Redefines Industry</h3>
Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) and United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), the second and fourth-largest U.S. carriers by market share, have been standout performers, surging 53% and 140% respectively this year. Together, they account for over 26% of JETS' holdings. 
Despite facing cost pressures from rising pilot salaries and maintenance expenses, the airlines have thrived thanks to booming demand for premium travel options. Delta recently revealed plans to expand high-end services, projecting premium ticket revenues will surpass main cabin sales—a trend reshaping the industry's profit dynamics.
"Premium revenue trends have outpaced main cabin over the last several years," Catharine O'Brien, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, said.
"Airlines have disaggregated premium demand to serve more segments of premium demand from premium economy seats in the main cabin to lie flat business class, with premium international economy and domestic first class in between,&#8221; she said. 
The analyst indicated that airlines with exposure to premium travel and strategic capacity improvements, including Delta, Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), and United, are expected to outperform next year.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Leasing Market Tailwinds</h3>
Aircraft lessors like AerCap Holdings N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AER#NYSE">AER</a>) and Air Lease Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AL#NYSE">AL</a>) are also benefiting from tight supply and strong demand. 
According to Goldman Sachs, higher lease extensions and gains on sales are boosting profitability, with analyst forecasting improved returns on equity for lessors in 2025.
&#8220;Looking into 2025, we expect many of the same themes to persist, with the drivers of aircraft availability mixed and unit cost inflation continuing, but decelerating,&#8221; O&#8217;Brien said.

Price Target

DA Davidson Maintains Neutral on Tripadvisor, Maintains $16 Price Target

Upon consummation of the Merger, Tripadvisor plans to retire approximately 27 million shares of Tripadvisor common stock currently held by Liberty TripAdvisor, net of approximately 2.4 million shares underlying the VPF.
Accordingly, Tripadvisor views this transaction as effectively a repurchase of the Tripadvisor common stock held by Liberty TripAdvisor.&nbsp;
The implied share price for the acquisition of such shares of Tripadvisor common stock from Liberty Tripadvisor is $16.21 (which reflects a premium of approximately 16% based on the 10-day volume-weighted average share price as of December 17, 2024).
The transaction will result in the simplification of Tripadvisor's capital structure into a single class of shares with no controlling stockholder, thereby creating more strategic flexibility for Tripadvisor.

Deal Dispatch: Shell, Unilever And More Are On The Sell Side; The Onion Makes Alex Jones Cry Foul

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bankruptcy Block</h3>
Wellpath Holdings Inc., a major provider of healthcare services to jails across the U.S., is preparing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bankruptcy">to file for bankruptcy</a>. 
Owned by H.I.G. Capital, the Nashville, Tenn.-based company has struggled with debt and labor costs. Despite efforts, including a forbearance agreement with lenders, financial strains have persisted. 
This move comes as prison stocks Geo Group (NYES: GEO) and CoreCivic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) moved positively to the news that Donald Trump won <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41779902/prison-stocks-geo-group-corecivic-rally-on-trump-2024-election-win-history-shows-the-gains-may-n">the 2024 presidential election</a>.

According <a href="https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/q3-2024-tripadvisor-inc-earnings-133036809.html">to </a>CFO Mike Noonan, the company ended Q3 with $1.1 billion in cash. Should a firm make an offer, it would have to woo Liberty Media, which owns about 21% of Tripadvisor common stock — an approximate 57% voting interest.
KKR &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>) wants to sell its stake in JB Chemicals &amp; Pharmaceuticals Ltd. via a block trade in the market, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-06/kkr-is-said-to-consider-selling-750-million-stake-in-jb-pharma">per</a> Bloomberg. The private equity firm is working with an investment bank as it considers selling about $750 million worth of stock in the Indian-listed company. The size of the deal could jump to $1 billion depending on demand.

Blackstone agreed to buy Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROIC#NASDAQ">ROIC</a>), a U.S. shopping mall owner. The Stephen A. Schwarzman-run private equity firm valued the real estate investment trust at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41803407/is-blackstone-finalizing-a-deal-to-acquire-one-of-americas-largest-retail-reits">around $4 billion, including debt</a>.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Updates From The Block</h3>
Nippon Steel Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NISTF#OTC">NISTF</a>) remains optimistic about finalizing its $14.1 billion acquisition of United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) by the end of the year. The Japanese company is navigating opposition from unions and the Biden administration, while also facing potential hurdles from the recent election of Donald Trump, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41806893/nippon-steel-remains-confident-in-14b-us-steel-deal-despite-trumps-resistance-there-can-be-construct">plans to block the deal</a>.
Brookfield launched a sale process for Aveo, a Sydney-based retirement home operator, in June. The Australian reports that the $3-billion company will likely not get sold until 2025. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h3>
Jim Cramer expressed optimism about a resurgence in M&amp;A with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41857971/trumps-win-sends-wall-street-to-record-highs-small-caps-tesla-outperform-fed-cuts-interest-rates-this-week-in-the-market">the incoming Trump administration</a>. Cramer predicts a more lenient approach to M&amp;A approvals compared to the previous administration, which was known for its stringent antitrust scrutiny. The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host also highlighted that the regional banking sector could significantly benefit from increased M&amp;A activity, allowing banks to grow by acquiring smaller entities or merging to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41805370/jim-cramer-hopes-m-a-to-come-back-bigly-under-trump-administration">form larger "super regionals.&#8221;</a>
