This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.
In a report published Friday, Morgan Stanley analyst Rajeev Lalwani stated that the risk-reward profile for US Airliners have improved recently due to the "precipitous" fall in fuel prices and lowered investor expectations.According to Lalwani, 2016 consensus estimates for the US Airliners group does not assume in the full benefits of oil prices as current models reflect levels that are around 15 percent higher than the market. On the other hand, the analyst noted consensus estimates also reflects largely unchanged PRASM (passenger revenue per available seat mile) versus his negative one percent due to the "tough environment" remaining.Nevertheless, Lalwani stated that the decline in fuel prices should prove to be enough for airliners to match earnings expectations even if unit revenues are lower in the 3.5 to 4.0 percent range."In our view, positive unit revenues are not necessary for the group to outperform," Lalwani wrote. "In fact, we see airline stocks performing relatively well if they simply meet consensus expectations since it should show an improving trend and a path to more stable prices."
'Likely' OutperformersLalwani stated that
American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ: AAL) has seen "the weakest" PRASM results due to international and domestic pressures.

(NYSE: DAL) or
United Continental Holdings Inc (NYSE: UAL) – both of which have experienced PRASM underperformance but to a lesser extent.
Spirit Airlines Incorporated (NASDAQ: SAVE) was also listed as a likely outperformer given its limited profit sharing and fuel hedges and a stronger margin. As such, the stock could see "considerable" multiple expansion due to its industry-leading, low-cost growth profile.
… And The Rest- Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE: ALK) should see an "improving" trajectory for PRASM as competitive capacity gets lapped.
- Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) and JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ: JBLU) could both lag the group as they have to-date benefitted from their "insulated" networks that support stronger pricing that may come under pressure.
- Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HA)'s international network exposes it "more significantly" to fuel surcharges.
- Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE: LUV) is likely to continue seeing competitive pricing actions in key markets which will create pressure on unit revenues (which will only be partially offset from a credit card agreement).
- Virgin America Inc (NASDQ: VA) continues to grow into competitive markets and competitive pressures will worsen while its peers will see improvements.
