NEW YORK,  February 25, 2013  /PRNewswire/ --

Today, National Traders Association announced new research reports highlighting
JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU), Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:ALK),
L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LLL), Rockwell Collins, Inc. (NYSE:
COL)) and Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ: PANL). Today's readers may
access these reports free of charge - including full price targets, industry
analysis and analyst ratings - via the links below.

JetBlue Airways Corporation Research Report

Jet Blue lost  $45 million  in revenue due to costs brought on by Hurricane
Sandy with canceled flights and lower passenger traffic, increasing total costs
by 8 percent in Q4, in comparison to the 4 percent increase in revenue that same
quarter.  Raymond James  even downgraded its stock to "underperform."

But Motley Fool says the company's maturation from being a startup would fuel
its turnaround, by "acting more like" its larger competitors like Delta and
United by focusing more on its stronger markets like  Boston  and  San Juan,
Puerto Rico. The company looks to cut costs as well with a larger variant of its
current Airbus A320s, the Airbus A321, which will seat 40 more passengers. This
will allow it to increase capacity in high volume routes in slot-constrained
terminals like  New York's  JFK Airport. The Full Research Report on JetBlue

Alaska Air Group, Inc. Research Report

Alaska Air did meet expectations on revenues and even got more profits year-over
year in Q4 of 2012, but it failed to meet expectations on GAAP earnings per
share with dropped margins. Revenues reached  $1.13 billion, meeting the
expectation of S&P Capital IQ, and are higher 8.4 percent year-over-year.
Earnings per share came in at  70 cents  a share,  two cents  short of S&P's
projection. The decline came as a result of fuel hedging, a tool used to reduce
fuel-heavy companies' exposure to volatile and potentially rising fuel costs.
Profit fell to  $44 million  despite higher revenues, from  $64 million  in the
same period last year. However, the company is banking on its reputation as the
top airline in terms of customer satisfaction to increase its already growing
passenger traffic. Flying capacity grew 7.8 percent in Q4 of 2012, and is
expected to grow by 7.5 percent for the whole of 2013 as the company increases
the utilization of its existing fleet. The Full Research Report on Alaska Air
Group, Inc. - including full detailed breakdown, analyst ratings and price

L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. Research Report

L-3 Communications spun off its consulting and government services work last
July in order to focus on finding new ways to maintain its profitability.
However, according to L-3 Chief Executive  Michael Strianese, "I don't think
it's a good strategy for defense companies to wander too far outside their core
areas. We've all done that at some point in our lives and it usually doesn't end
well." To make up for lost revenue in the US, defense contractors are looking to
expand overseas and increase sales to other countries like those in the  Middle
East. Arms sales in  Asia  are also expected to rise. This trend began in 2011,
with overseas sales to developing nations multiplying by as much as four times.
US defense contractors have also been lobbying to ease export controls in order
for them to be able to explore more opportunities overseas. With that said, L-3
Communications secured a  $23 million  deal to help train some Iraqi military
pilots back in November. While defense budget cuts are worrying investors, the
company is confident in its future, with the board of directors has also
authorized a new share repurchase program of up to an addition  $1.5 billion.
Analysts are also confident that the company can thrive, given its strong
position as a subcontractor of several other defense primes. It also has broad
diversification programs and a funded backlog up 10% up to  $10.9 billion  as of
the end of 2013. The Full Research Report on L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. -

Rockwell  Collins, Inc. Research Report

Rockwell  Collins  will jointly bid with a unit of Tata Power Co Ltd for a
contract worth  $150 million  to the Indian Air Force.  India  is planning to
spend around  $100 billion  over the next 10 years to upgrade its Soviet-era
military hardware to keep pace with  China's  defense spending. Industry
observers believe that defense budget cuts is now part of reality. Because of
this, defense contractors are now looking for new customers abroad or are
diversifying their product lines. Furthermore, despite the impending cuts in
defense spending, defense stocks are still strong, with the industry expected to
generate  $2.9 trillion  this year. For investors who still want to take a shot
at this industry, it would be good to look for companies that have multiyear
deals and huge backlogs. Income from these backlogs can sustain businesses as
they look for more opportunities after their foremost customer, the US military,
cuts spending. The Full Research Report on Rockwell Collins, Inc. - including
full detailed breakdown, analyst ratings and price targets - is available to

Universal Display Corporation Research Report

After the announcement of Samsung that it will begin using Universal Display
Corporation's materials in the upcoming Galaxy 5 phone scheduled to enter
production this February, the shares of Universal Display soared nearly 10
percent, with an outperform rating. The Galaxy 5 will have full HD AMOLED
displays and the company's green PHOLEDs will be part of the production process.
Analysts expect the results to show up on Q2 revenues. The long-term contract
between the two companies is until 2017.Universal Display has a strong patent
portfolio behind organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology, a technology
that may dominate the displays of the future. This patent portfolio is likely to
continue to generate royalty and license revenue, and is positioned to profit
from strong sales of tablets, smartphones, and TVs. Display manufacturers are
committing themselves to OLED technology as it has significant benefits over
traditional LCD display technology. Samsung is investing  $6.4 billion; more
than Universal Display's market cap of  $1.24 billion, in OLED facilities while
cutting investments in half to  $1.8 billion. The OLED market is forecasted to
top  $34 billion  by 2019, signifying massive long-term opportunities for
Universal Display. Aside from Samsung, LG Electronics and Sony are also entering
the OLED market. Being the leading OLED manufacturer, Universal Display is
likely the choice supplier for these companies. If ever they also offer a
long-term contract, Universal Display's company will be secure. The Full
