on Friday to Outperform from In-Line with a price target raised to $85 from a previous $60. “New passenger initiatives aimed at families and business travelers, coupled with a structural shift to more primary airports, should allow the company to improve aircraft usage during the off-peak season,” McAdoo wrote in a note. The analyst adds that these changes will result in “meaningful” earnings growth in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016. McAdoo notes that the company has already benefited from its new initiates during its September quarter where earnings per share rose 16 percent from a year ago. The analyst also adds that the initiatives prompted the company to raise its traffic and profit guidance. Bottom line, McAdoo believes the company should be able to attract “more substantial traffic” on a year round basis.
