Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) gained 2.67% on Tuesday, bringing the stock to $42.86 as of October 27, 2026. The carrier's market capitalization stands at $20.42 billion following the session's close.
The daily move extended a broader rally, with LUV shares up 10.42% over the past seven days. That weekly performance represents a notable acceleration in momentum for the Dallas-based airline.
Over the trailing 30-day period, the stock has posted a more modest gain of 0.36%, suggesting the bulk of recent appreciation has been concentrated in the current week. The contrast between the monthly and weekly figures points to a sharp, compressed advance rather than a gradual upward trend.
Southwest remains one of the largest carriers in the United States by market capitalization, and Tuesday's session added to a stretch of trading that has drawn attention across the airline sector.
