Spirit Airlines (SAVEQ) garnered retail attention on Thursday after a court approved its plan to exit bankruptcy by converting $795 million in debt to equity and emerge as a privately owned company.The company said it expects to emerge from restructuring in the coming weeks following the approval of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to hand over the airline to creditors.According to court documents, Spirit’s creditors include Citadel Advisors, Pacific Investment Management, and UBS Asset Management.The plan, proposed in November, also entails an equity investment of $350 million in Spirit and the issuance of $840 million in fresh secured debt to its bondholders.“As we move forward, our leadership team remains focused on reducing costs while also advancing our strategic initiatives to transform our Guest experience and position Spirit for success," CEO Ted Christie said.Thursday’s ruling comes after Frontier Airlines sought to buy Spirit earlier this year by issuing $400 million debt and a 19% stake. Spirit termed the offer as non-compelling and rejected it.Frontier had first agreed to buy Spirit in 2022, but the deal did not take place after rival JetBlue made a better offer. A U.S. judge then blocked the deal with JetBlue following a challenge by the U.S. Department of Justice.Spirit filed for bankruptcy protection in November after years of losses and the failed merger with JetBlue.According to several media reports, the U.S. court also overruled objections raised by the U.S. Trustee to the releases of some parties who had ties to the restructuring process from creditors' claims.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits slumped into ‘bearish’ (35/100) territory from ‘bullish’ (63/100) a day ago, while retail chatter was ‘high.’<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:801/175;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/SAVEQ_Feb_20_3ee67bcda1.JPG" alt="SAVEQ’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 01:21 a.m. ET on Feb. 21, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="801" height="175"><figcaption>SAVEQ’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 01:21 a.m. ET on Feb. 21, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>One user was disappointed with the approval and accused the company of making false promises.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Monkeymano/message/605126412</stembedurl>Another user wondered if Frontier would come up with another offer.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/boo93/message/605125422</stembedurl>Over the past month, <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SAVEQ">Spirit stock</a> has gained nearly 28%.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/diamondback-energy-ceo-steps-down-days-before-q4-earnings-retail-takes-notice-but-remains-unfazed/ch5D6m0RDf">Diamondback Energy CEO Steps Down Days Before Q4 Earnings: Retail Takes Notice But Remains Unfazed</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Spirit Airlines To Go Private After Court Approves Restructuring Plan, Retail Expresses Disappointment 

The company said it expects to emerge from restructuring in the coming weeks.

Spirit Airlines (SAVEQ) and Frontier Group Holdings Inc (ULCC) garnered retail attention on Wednesday after the former rejected Frontier's slightly modified buyout offer.Spirit said that on Feb. 4, it received a new proposal from Frontier, essentially the same as its <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/spirit-airlines-rejects-frontier-merger-proposal/chbAkK8Rpx">earlier offer</a> of $400 million in debt and a 19% stake in Frontier.However, the new offer did not require Spirit to complete its previously announced $350 million equity rights offering. But it needed a waiver of the Bankruptcy Court-approved $35 million termination fee.“The new proposal did not address certain material risks and issues previously identified by the company, including that the new proposal would deliver less in value to the company's stakeholders than contemplated by the company's existing plan of reorganization,” Spirit said in a statement.The airline company said it had submitted a counterproposal to Frontier, which was rejected.Frontier first agreed to buy Spirit in 2022, but the deal did not take place after rival JetBlue made a better offer. A U.S. judge then blocked the deal with JetBlue following a challenge by the U.S. Department of Justice.Spirit filed for bankruptcy protection in November after years of losses and the failed merger with JetBlue.&nbsp;The airline had entered into a restructuring support agreement supported by most of its convertible bondholders on the terms of a comprehensive balance sheet restructuring.A confirmation hearing about Spirit’s plan of reorganization is currently scheduled for Feb. 13.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits surrounding Frontier and Spirit trended in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:796/178;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/SAVEQ_Feb_12_5797820c26.JPG" alt="SAVEQ’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 3:01 a.m. ET on Feb. 12, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="796" height="178"><figcaption>SAVEQ’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 3:01 a.m. ET on Feb. 12, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/181;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ULCC_Feb_12_6554db61bf.JPG" alt="ULCC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 3:02 p.m. ET on Feb. 12, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="800" height="181"><figcaption>ULCC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 3:02 p.m. ET on Feb. 12, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Retailers welcomed the talks, while some urged Spirit to go through with the deal.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Zedtalks179/message/603879598</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Zedtalks179/message/603883010</stembedurl>Over the past year, <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ULCC">Frontier stock</a> has gained 23.5%, while <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SAVEQ">Spirit Airlines stock</a> has more than doubled this year.&nbsp;Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/upstart-holdings-stock-soars-aftermarket-after-surprise-q4-profit-retail-s-exuberant/ch5afJFRuT">Upstart Holdings Stock Soars Aftermarket After Surprise Q4 Profit: Retail’s Exuberant</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

The airline said it had submitted a counterproposal to Frontier, which was rejected.

Spirit Airlines rejects renewed takeover bid from Frontier

Investing.com--   Spirit Airlines   Inc (OTC:SAVEQ) has declined a renewed acquisition proposal from   Frontier Group Holdings   Inc (NASDAQ:ULCC), opting to proceed with its existing restructuring plan, the company announced on Tuesday.

Frontier Group Holdings Inc (ULCC) shares received a price target hike by Barclays on Monday after the company <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/frontier-group-stock-soars-after-record-quarterly-revenue/chPzoS0Rsz">reported</a> a better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings report.According to The Fly, Barclays raised its price target on Frontier Group to $14 from $10 while keeping an ‘Overweight’ rating on the shares. The new price target implies a 50% upside from the stock’s closing price on Friday.The brokerage highlighted that Frontier’s stronger unit revenue performance aids a more bullish margin outlook for 2025. Barclays also noted that although the management remains interested in a merger with Spirit, it maintains its focus on driving core earnings improvement.On Friday, Frontier reported a 12% rise in its total operating revenue to a record billion dollars compared to a Wall Street estimate of $986.50 million. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.23 compared to an analyst estimate of $0.13.Net income for the quarter was $54 million, compared to a net loss of $37 million in the same quarter a year ago.Revenue per available seat mile (RASM) rose 15% year-over-year (YoY) to $0.1023 during the quarter. The firm said this was primarily driven by its capacity deployment focused on peak days of the week, continued progress on the revenue and network initiatives, and the overall moderation in industry capacity growth.CEO Barry Biffle said in an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/02/07/frontier-group-ceo-focus-on-loyalty-and-premiumization-has-enabled-us-to-exceed-expectations.html">interview</a> with CNBC that the premiumization and the focus on loyalty are starting to take effect. “That enabled us to exceed expectations in the fourth quarter,” he said.In late January, Spirit Airlines Inc (SAVEQ) had rejected Frontier's new merger offer.Frontier’s proposal involved combining with Spirit in a transaction that provides for the issuance of $400 million principal amount of debt by the firm and 19% of its common equity at the closing of the transaction, to be distributed to the holders of senior secured notes, 2025 convertible notes, 2026 convertible notes, and existing interests. Biffle also stated that with Spirit extending its deadline for the rights offering by a week, Frontier remains ready to engage.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment climbed further into the ‘extremely bullish’ territory (89/100), accompanied by significant retail chatter.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1858/426;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2025_02_10_at_7_10_25_AM_da9ffe6ad2.png" alt="ULCC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 6:56 a.m. ET on Feb. 10, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="1858" height="426"><figcaption>ULCC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 6:56 a.m. ET on Feb. 10, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Frontier Group shares traded marginally in the green in Monday’s pre-market session after closing over 15% higher on Friday.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ULCC">ULCC shares</a> have gained over 29% in 2025 and have risen over 18% in the last year.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/ibex-stock-soars-on-record-revenue-upbeat-guidance/chPzME3Rtd">IBEX Stock Soars On Record Revenue, Upbeat Guidance: Retail’s Yet To Be Convinced</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Frontier Group Stock Scores Barclays Price Target Boost, Retail Optimism Stays High

According to TheFly, Barclays raised its price target on Frontier Group to $14 from $10 while keeping an ‘Overweight’ rating on the shares.

Frontier Group Holdings Inc (ULCC) and Spirit Airlines Inc (SAVEQ) drew retail attention on Thursday after the latter rejected Frontier's new merger offer.Frontier’s <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ir.flyfrontier.com/static-files/8a332077-016f-437c-a792-8dca5ebf569b">proposal</a> involved combining with Spirit in a transaction that provides for the issuance of $400 million principal amount of debt by the firm and 19% of its common equity at the closing of the transaction, to be distributed to the holders of senior secured notes, 2025 convertible notes, 2026 convertible notes and existing interests.Chair of Frontier's Board of Directors Bill Franke said the proposal reflects a compelling opportunity that will result in more value than Spirit's standalone plan by creating a stronger low-fare airline with the long-term viability to compete more effectively and enter new markets at scale.CEO Barry Biffle also expressed optimism that as a combined airline, the companies would be positioned to offer more options, deeper savings, and an enhanced travel experience with more reliable service.Spirit, however, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001498710/74655052-c10e-4089-94d3-cf77afb6893f.pdf">pointed</a> out that the proposal is far below the terms agreed in August 2024 on both debt ($580 million) and equity (26.5% of the combined company) consideration. It also requires a $350 million new equity investment by the firm’s bondholders.Spirit said this is a material funding demand they emphatically reject under the proposal’s current terms.“While we appreciate your continued interest and share your view of the logic of a potential transaction, your January 7 terms (which have not been improved on in the last three weeks) are both inadequate and unactionable,” Spirit said in an exchange filing.In November, Spirit filed for bankruptcy protection after years of losses and a failed merger with Frontier Airlines. The airline had entered into a restructuring support agreement supported by most of its convertible bondholders on the terms of a comprehensive balance sheet restructuring.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment surrounding Frontier and Spirit trended in the ‘extremely bearish’ territory.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1856/424;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2025_01_30_at_8_10_12_AM_2d95f7758c.png" alt="ULCC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 7:45 a.m. ET on Jan. 29, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="1856" height="424"><figcaption>ULCC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 7:45 a.m. ET on Jan. 29, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1868/434;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2025_01_30_at_8_10_50_AM_fcfe744f26.png" alt="SAVEQ’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 7:45 a.m. ET on Jan. 29, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="1868" height="434"><figcaption>SAVEQ’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 7:45 a.m. ET on Jan. 29, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Retail users on Stocktwits expressed mixed opinions on the stocks.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/zdeciutiis/message/602086193</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Stormra/message/602081486</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/dweller123/message/601914637</stembedurl><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SAVEQ">Spirit Airlines</a> stock has gained over 40% this year on the OTC markets, while Frontier stock has gained over 13% in the same period.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/federal-reserve-keeps-key-rate-unchanged/chboNLiRpF">Federal Reserve Keeps Key Interest Rate Unchanged After Three Consecutive Cuts</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
