JetBlue: Airline Winners and Losers

(Updated with closing prices.)

NEW YORK -- Airlines wavered with the broader market Friday, with most of the biggest carriers losing ground as the price of oil rose.

Broader market stocks fell moderately Friday in afternoon trading, as investors hesitated to extend the market's recent rally despite an improved outlook from Intel (INTC Quote)

The market got an initial boost after the world's largest computer chip maker raised the top end of its sales forecast for the current quarter from $8.9 billion to $9.2 billion.

Meanwhile, the effect of the weak dollar again pushed oil prices higher in the face of little demand for energy and huge surpluses of crude.

Benchmark crude for October delivery rose 53 cents to $73.02 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil prices earlier this week hit $75, a high for the year.

The Amex Airline Index fell slightly, losing .28% to 24.54 in afternoon trading. Seven out of its 13 components were in the red.

At the close, United Airlines parent UAL (UAUA Quote) lost 2 cents to $6.52, while Delta Air Lines (DAL Quote) gave up 15 cents to $7.34. Among those airline stocks gaining ground, Southwest Airlines (LUV Quote) rose 6 cents to $8.51 and JetBlue Airways (JBLU Quote) gained 14 cents to $5.75.
