Is The Market Pricing Spirit Airlines Fairly?


Spirit Airlines (NYSE: SAVE) has had a rather decent earnings history in 2017, beating the consensus estimate through every quarter, while recording a near 14% jump in revenues year-over-year. That said, since the beginning of 2017, the company’s stock price has fallen a considerable 30%.  Given our calculations, this price seems fair. According to our estimates, we expect the price to come in around $47. (Current market price is $45.)
