Key statistics
The headline figures for ALK.
As of October 17, 2026, ALK trades at $35.13, with a market value of $3.92B, no P/E ratio (its trailing earnings are negative) and a dividend yield of 4.06%.
What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of ALK's valuation, growth and risks.
ALK's P/E ratio cannot be interpreted, since the company lost money over the last 12 months, which makes the figure not meaningful. Its price-to-sales ratio of 0.28 is 93.0% below the sector median of 4.0. The company's market capitalisation stands at $3.9B.
ALK is losing money. Its net margin stands at -1.18% and its operating margin at -2.93%, while return on equity of -4.60% trails the sector median of 17.8%. Revenue rose 9.70% in the latest year, which lags the sector median of 11.7%. On the balance sheet, debt-to-equity is 2.08. The trailing dividend yield is 4.06%, equal to $1.43 per share annually.
ALK reported earnings on July 21, 2026, beating the estimate by 7.07% with EPS of -$0.92 versus an expected -$0.99. Even so, the share price dropped 2.42% in the following session.
ALK beat the EPS estimate in 4 of its last 6 reports, but beats have not guaranteed gains: the stock fell the next day after 2 of them. Analysts' average EPS estimate for this fiscal year is -$3.42, which would be a decline of 240.2%, and $3.30 for next year.
Normal swings for ALK run at about 2.26% a day. Until the price regains its moving averages, the trend works against holders. The price is 42.06% below its 52-week high of $60.63. Insiders sold $5.1M over the last 18 months and bought $1.0M, though sales of this kind are often planned in advance and say less than purchases would.
ALK against the Industrials sector
How ALK compares with the median Industrials stock CleaRank tracks.

Revenue growth: Revenue grew 21.3% in FY2025 to $14.2B, from $11.7B a year earlier.
Profit margin: The net margin was 0.7% in FY2025, down from 3.4% the year before.
Profitable: ALK earned $100M in FY2025.
Earnings reality check
Did ALK beat what analysts expected, and how did the stock react?
Earnings record: ALK beat the analyst estimate in 4 of the last 6 quarters.
Market reaction: The stock fell in the first session after 2 of those 4 beats, so a beat has not been enough on its own.

CleaRank AI analysis of ALK
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
ALK is trending down. The price of $35.13 sits 14.73% below its 50-day average of $41.20 and 21.51% below its 200-day average of $44.76. It is also close to the floor of its 52-week range: the price is 6.36% above the low of $33.03, and 42.06% below the high of $60.63. With the 50-day average 7.95% below the 200-day, the moving averages point the same way as the price, which reinforces the weakness.
The 14-day RSI of 29.8 is in oversold territory, and the MACD line is negative. The record is negative across every period shown: the price fell 22.81% over the past three months, fell 22.62% over the past six months and fell 26.48% over the past year.

- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 20-day EMA at $38.70 overhead and the 52-week low at $33.03 underneath.
- A 14-day RSI of 29.8 is oversold, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- Following the July 21, 2026 report, the share price dropped 2.42% in the first session. Over the last 6 reports, ALK beat estimates in 4.
ALK sits below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($41.20 and $44.76), and that placement is why the trend reads as down. A move back above the 50-day would be the first sign of repair. Just above the price, the 20-day EMA at $38.70 is the first level a rally would meet.
The 52-week low at $33.03 is the next level below. Momentum is washed out, with the RSI below the oversold line; a turn back above it would be an early sign of stabilising.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in ALK, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in ALK today could grow to about $9,083 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $54,374 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $1,517. The simulation models price only; at today's 4.06% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
ALK Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $33.80 for ALK by 2030 in the base case, from $35.13 today (1.0x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $10.90. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on ALK's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $19.76 | $34.79 | $61.27 | |
| 2028 | $15.48 | $34.46 | $76.72 | |
