Latest analysis: Southwest Airlines Q3 2026 Earnings: Record $8.4B Revenue, EPS Guide Cut 27% on Fuel

Key Figures

Amounts in MUSD (millions of US dollars), exactly as the ledger records them.

What's Inside

Fiscal years end Dec 31 (SEC CIK 92380). FY2024–FY2025 come from each year's audited Form 10-K; FY2026Q3 comes from the same-week Form 10-Q, whose full face statements carry the complete equity split — no undisaggregated equity anywhere in this ledger. Air traffic liability sits on Liabilities:Current:DeferredRevenue (current) and inside Liabilities:NonCurrent:Other (noncurrent, with deferred taxes); flight equipment dominates Assets:NonCurrent:PropertyPlantEquipment. Treasury stock — $14.8B at cost by September 2026 — posts as a debit on Equity:TreasuryStock, which is why book equity is far smaller than retained earnings.

Quick Start

uvx --from beancount bean-check main.bean
uvx --from beanquery bean-query main.bean \
  "SELECT year, sum(position) WHERE account ~ '^Income:Revenue' GROUP BY year ORDER BY year"

Zero output from bean-check means the ledger is internally consistent: every
income statement sums to zero and every balance-sheet snapshot reconciles to
the filed totals. The query prints revenue by calendar year; income is a
credit, so it shows as a negative number. Open main.bean in Fava
or import it into beancount.io to explore it visually.

Methodology

• Balance sheet — pad / balance directives assert each period-end
  figure against the filing named in that period file's source banner.
• Income statement — one zero-sum transaction per period: Income
  negative (credit), Expenses positive (debit), with the arithmetic check in
  a comment directly above it.
• Unit — MUSD; 8,422 MUSD means 8,422 million US dollars.
• Additional accounts — Assets:NonCurrent:OperatingLeaseRightOfUse,
  Liabilities:Current:OperatingLeases,
  Liabilities:NonCurrent:OperatingLeases, Equity:TreasuryStock, opened
  beyond the standard chart (see each account's open line in main.bean).
