Ummm, hello? Does that question really need to be asked this day and age of bankrupt airlines and failing carriers? The risk alert is an indicator for INVESTORS, not necessarily employees or the status of the company (although I forsee JB having more and more troubles as the time passes...)
It's a high risk stock. Why? Because, first off it is over-valued when compared to other airlines. JB is trading near $20/share. That's higher than SWA (~16 3/4), AirTran (~16 1/5), Continental (~16). (And those are the carriers that are doing well in this environment). The only airline that I can think off the top of my head that is doing better is FedEx (96), and they really aren't an airline.
Don't get your panties into too much of a bunch. The end of the world hasn't come for jetBlue just because they are a high risk. It just means that right now probably isn't the best time to be investing in them (or any airline for that matter).

It’s what that $20 actually buys in value (or expected future growth) that determines the worth of a stock. Essentially it is the 'total value' of the company divided by the number of shares outstanding.
For an EXTREME example, compare Berkshire Hathaway to General Electric. Both are profitable, and both have a price earnings (P/E) ratio of ~20 but GE is priced @ ~$35 and BRK-A @ ~$90,500!!!

I don't know why THAT site has it as a high risk stock except that they lowered earnings for next qtr based on $2/gal fuel, cost in bringing in a new aircraft that needs to fly empty proving runs, the possibility that "all" employees who have stock options might opt to cash them in causing a cost burden to the company. If any of these don't happen, then things will be much better. I bet on the E190 making a bit of money with 100 seats vs the 50-70 seat airplanes others fly, fuel is looking like it is going down, slowly, and I doubt all will opt to cash in on the options all at once. So I like that sort of risk, bought me some 500 shares of JBLU. Thanks for the stock tip AA guys.
