Director Lisa M Atherton buys 118 shares of LUV at $31.28 (initial stake); stock down 19.1% from 52-week high.

Director Atherton purchased 118 shares at $31.28 on 2025-01-30, establishing an initial position in Southwest Airlines. This is a modest acquisition of $3,691.04 with no prior holdings. The purchase occurred when LUV was trading 19.1% below its 52-week high and has declined 9.1% over the past 30 days and 15.7% over 90 days, placing the entry point in a recent downturn. At a P/E of 36.13, the stock trades at an elevated valuation multiple relative to historical norms, and quarterly net income of $67.0M on revenue of $6.9B reflects constrained profitability in the airline sector. The small transaction size and de novo nature of the holding provide limited visibility into conviction level.
