Quant Rating Check: Analyzing the impact of Spirit’s collapse on airline standings
The airline sector is facing a performance gap following Spirit Airlines' collapse, which has led to a reassessment within the Quant rating framework. Spirit ceased operations after failing to secure a bailout amid rising jet fuel prices. Currently, only Southwest Airlines and LATAM Airlines hold a 'Buy' rating, while major carriers like Delta, United, and American Airlines have 'Hold' ratings. The Quant scores reflect the industry's struggle, with most airlines rated below 'Buy'.
