Inflation is affecting all sectors of the stock market, but perhaps none more than airline stocks. In mid-September, several airlines including Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV ) and American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL ) are lowering profit expectations due to higher fuel costs.

Hi! In this week's ETF Wrap, you'll see how investor demand for tech and artificial-intelligence ETFs this year pales in comparison with their strong performance.

Tech, AI ETFs are soaring, but flows show investors holding back

U.S. Global Jets ETF experienced a surge in assets under management after Covid lockdowns, but has since been losing money due to lackluster performance. The ETF tracks the U.S. Global Jets Index and primarily focuses on the U.S. market, with top holdings in major American airlines. The aviation industry faces challenges such as fuel prices and labor relations, and the ETF's performance suggests potential weakness in the industry.

American's cut is a substantial one, driven by higher labor costs following its pay agreement with pilots and elevated fuel prices.

American and Spirit Cut Guidance. Airline Stocks Are Falling Again.

U.S. Global Jets ETF offers exposure to the airline industry, but its holdings are mostly American companies with minimal global representation. The fund primarily invests in passenger airline companies, with other sub-sectors receiving little exposure. Despite cheap valuations and strong cash flows, there are concerns about high debt levels, history of failures, and tightening money supplies in the airline industry.

The airline-tracking U.S. Global Jets ETF JETS dropped 0.7% on Wednesday, threatening to extend its losing streak to five straight sessions and on track for its lowest close since June 3, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Shares of Southwest Airlines LUV, the fund's second-biggest holding, were down 2.7% after the carrier said it booked record revenue for the Labor Day weekend, but noted close-in leisure bookings in August were on the lower end of expectations.

The Transportation Security Administration said late Tuesday it expects to screen more than 14 million people at airports during Labor Day holiday weekend, with Friday projected to be the busiest day, with nearly 3 million air travelers passing through airports' security checkpoints. Traveler volumes during this summer travel period are higher than summer 2019, “marking the busiest summer travel period on record,” the TSA said.

Hello! This week's ETF Wrap looks at top performers in the first half of 2023, as well as flows, as stocks rally and crypto-related funds jump so far this year.

Here are the top-performing ETFs in first half of 2023 as crypto-related funds soar

The U.S. Global Jets ETF, which invests in major US and international passenger airline companies, saw unit prices rise by 4.4% on June 27th, bringing its return for the past month to 10.8% and year to date to nearly 18.2%. This growth is largely attributed to a 6.8% increase in shares of Delta Air Lines, the ETF's largest holding, following optimistic projections revealed at the company's 2023 Investor Day. Delta Air Lines' management expects air travel spending in the US to return to pre-pandemic levels this year, reaching 1.3% of the country's GDP. They also highlighted the growth of household wealth among high-income travelers, who account for roughly 75% of all air travel spending, and supply constraints in the industry which could allow companies to charge more for their services. The airline industry is also expected to benefit from lower fuel costs, with Bank of America raising its forecast for earnings per share across the sector for 2023 due to the expectation that lower fuel costs will boost profits. As a result of the news and my findings, I am assigning a soft 'buy' rating to JETS.
