Spirit Airlines: Wait For The Payout

By -
  •  Spirit Airlines has at least 44% upside on closing the JetBlue deal.
  • The airline deal still has a lot of questions on whether regulators will approve the merger.
  • The stock is cheap whether the deal closes at $33.50 per share in cash or the airline and shareholders get a large breakup fee and Spirit remains a standalone airline.
  • This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street. Learn More » 

While long term investors should've wanted the Frontier Group Holdings' (ULCC) buyout of Spirit Airlines (NYSE:SAVE), those investors must now analyze the JetBlue Airways (JBLU) deal. The agreed upon purchase price provides substantial upside to the stock while holding Spirit Airlines offers downside protection on a deal failure. My investment thesis remains ultra Bullish on the stock, though disappointed shareholders didn't approve the merger with Frontier.

Update - Sept. 15

Not convinced ending an alliance will solve the regulatory issues with the $JBLU merger. Spirit isn't even up on this news. 

-JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) is reportedly not as committed to retaining the Northeast Alliance with American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) as the JBLU CEO has said in recent months in his battle to acquire Spirit Airlines (NYSE:SAVE), according to a Dealreporter item.

-The update comes as the publication reported in the same article on Thursday that JetBlue's (JBLU) planned purchase of Spirit (SAVE) has received a second request from the DOJ, according to sources familiar.

Occidental: Still Producing Too Much Oil

Though oil continues plunging, the oil giants continue producing more. For Q4, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) had roughly flat production. The worst part is that OXY plans to grow production by 2% to 4% in 2016. The stock has held up somewhat strong, but the inability to turn off the spigot remains troubling.

ChargePoint: Low Quality Beat

By -

  ChargePoint beat FQ2'22 revenue estimates, but the losses are mounting. The company guided up FY22 numbers partly due to acquisitions. The stock still trades at an estimated 21x FY23 number leaving limited upside for the stock and reinforcing why venture funds sold 13.8 million shares. Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one? Members of Out Fox The Street get exclusive access to our model portfolio.  Learn More » After  solid FQ2'22 earnings ,  ChargePoint Holdings  ( CHPT ) has seen a nice bump in the stock.

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

By -
Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.
