Sterling holds ground amid stabilizing U.K. debt market
Investing.com - Deutsche Bank upgraded Frontier Group Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:ULCC) from Hold to Buy and raised its price target to $8.00 from $4.00. The stock, currently trading at $4.90, has shown strong momentum with positive returns over the last three months, despite being down 32% over the past six months. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company is currently undervalued based on its Fair Value assessment.
The upgrade comes as Deutsche Bank views the low-fare carrier as best-positioned to benefit from Spirit Airlines’ bankruptcy due to significant network overlap between the two airlines. While the company faces some financial challenges with a significant debt burden and current ratio of 0.41, InvestingPro data reveals 15+ additional insights about the company’s financial health and future prospects.
Currently, 35% of Frontier’s network overlaps with Spirit for the September quarter, according to Deutsche Bank’s analysis.
The overlap is expected to increase to approximately 40% by the December quarter following Frontier’s recent announcement to add 20 new routes beginning later this year.
Deutsche Bank noted that 18 of these newly announced routes are presently served by Spirit, further strengthening Frontier’s position to capture market share from its bankrupt competitor.
In other recent news, Frontier Airlines reported a second-quarter net loss of $0.31 per share, which did not meet analysts’ expectations of a $0.28 loss per share. The company’s revenue for the quarter was $929 million, slightly below the projected $943.78 million. In an effort to attract more customers, Frontier launched a two-day sale offering roundtrip fares starting at $38 to various destinations across the U.S., Caribbean, and Latin America. This promotion requires bookings through the airline’s website or mobile app and is valid for select travel dates in September 2025. Additionally, Frontier introduced a limited-time offer allowing loyalty members from select competing airlines to purchase Frontier Elite Gold status for $69. This offer provides benefits such as a free carry-on bag, Zone 1 priority boarding, and complimentary upgrades to premium seating through December 2026. These recent developments reflect Frontier’s strategic moves to enhance customer engagement and expand its market presence.
