JetBlue reported third-quarter results on October 26, 2026: a loss of 60 cents a share versus 55 cents expected and revenue of $2.81 billion, just shy of estimates, with jet fuel up 57 percent year over year to $3.91 a gallon. The company recaptured 87 percent of the fuel increase through higher fares and guided fourth-quarter fuel to $4.64 a gallon, up 85 percent. Shares then surged 18 percent after JetBlue said it expects wider fourth-quarter margins. The discussion centers on whether its $7.5 billion in unencumbered assets and 2028 targets can hold off creditor pressure.
