JETS

Market cap $755M

Launched on April 30, 2015, the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Industrials - Transportation/Shipping segment of the equity market.

As expected, airline stocks have performed poorly over the past four years, struggling with margin pressures as airlines fail to pass rising costs onto ticket prices. With the fallout of Spirit Airlines and lower labor and fuel inflation, airlines may be verging on greater deflationary issues, particularly regarding economy class tickets. The "economy class" American is not in a great financial situation today, with stagnant median annual income, rising consumer debt service, and ongoing living cost growth.

Fall isn't in the air yet here in South Central Texas, but the season is often associated with something else: stronger performance in airline stocks.

An industry ETF can become a good alternative when there are few or no clear leading stocks in the group.

US airline stocks closed significantly higher on Tuesday after Spirit Airlines, a budget air carrier , issued a dire warning that it will fail to survive as a going concern without fresh capital.

San Antonio, TX, Aug. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (NASDAQ: GROW) (the “Company”), a registered investment advisory firm[1] with expertise in gold mining stocks and the airline industry, today is pleased to announce that its shipping ETF, the U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF ( NYSE: SEA ), is now listed on Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (BMV), also known as the Mexican Stock Exchange.

Looking for broad exposure to the Industrials - Transportation/Shipping segment of the equity market? You should consider the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on April 30, 2015.

I reiterate a hold rating on JETS, citing decent valuation but significant technical resistance and lackluster YTD performance among top holdings. Despite strong TSA checkpoint numbers and recent share momentum, airline stocks remain volatile and cyclical, with JETS showing elevated risk metrics. JETS trades at a discount to the S&P 500 and leans toward value and SMID caps, but faces macroeconomic and seasonal headwinds through September.

Oil rebounded on strong demand signals and easing trade tensions, boosting XOP and SLX while pressuring XRT, CRAK, JETS, and GDX.

Delta's upbeat forecast lifts JETS 7.3% and AIRL 7.9%, reviving airline ETFs after a rough stretch for the sector.
