Deutsche Bank analyst Michael Linenberg upgraded SkyWest (NASDAQ: SKYW) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $65.00 (from $45.00).
The analyst comments "We are raising our 12-month price target (PT) on SKYW shares from $45 to $65 which is derived by applying a ~7.5 EV/EBITDAR multiple to our 2022 EBITDAR estimate and a ~6.5 EV/EBITDAR multiple to our 2023 EBITDAR estimate (which compares to the stock's historical trading range of 5x - 7x, although multiples can trade above the range during a recession/recovery period). The downside risk to our price target is if we fail to see a leveling-off in new COVID-19 cases. Other downside risk factors are economic weakness, government regulation, taxation, airport constraints, safety concerns, the threat of terrorism and war, associated costs/risks with labor negotiations and the revaluation of the stock market resulting in a higher equity risk premium being applied to airline shares.both are at or below the lower end of the stock’s historical trading range, which we think is a reasonable application in light of the current challenging demand environment)."
