Spirit Airlines (SAVE) Earnings Growth to Accelerate in 2014 - Analyst

November 1, 2012 11:36 AM
Imperial Capital maintained an Outperform rating on Spirit Airlines (NASDAQ:
SAVE) but cut its price target to $22.00 (from $29.00).

Commenting on Sprint's Q3 results, analyst at Imperial said "We continue to believe SAVE represents a great long-term growth story. Although elements of 2013 guidance were disappointing, we believe the company is trying carefully to manage street expectations as it matures."

Analysts expect heavy maintenance costs for 2013 to moderate earnings growth, though they will eventually reaccelerate in 2014.

"Going forward, we believe no traditional airline has found way to stop Spirit from growing its unique service offering. We expect SAVE to continue to grow topline between 18-20% while delivering strong bottom-line returns," said analysts at Imperial.
