Southwest Airlines rose 1.1% to $41.31 today, with intraday strength reaching $42.285 at 10:03 ET, primarily driven by robust Q1 2026 earnings momentum. The airline reported earnings per share of $0.45, surging 273% year-over-year, alongside net income of $227 million, up 252% YoY, on operating revenues of $7.249 billion, representing 12.77% growth year-over-year.
