March 25, 2026, 5:53 PM EDT. JetBlue Airways (JBLU) surged 13.36% to $4.75 after reports that it has hired advisors to explore strategic options, including a potential sale or merger. The trading volume soared to 101.3 million shares, more than 350% above its average, reflecting heightened investor interest. JetBlue, a low-cost carrier across the Americas and Europe, has seen a 64% drop since its IPO in 2002.
