Why Frontier Group Holdings is back on stock watchers’ radar

Frontier Group Holdings (ULCC) has drawn investor attention after a mixed stretch in its share performance, with a loss over the past year contrasted by a gain in the past 3 months.

The recent 14.3% 90-day share price return, compared with a 1-year total shareholder return decline of about 42%, suggests that short-term momentum may be starting to rebuild after a difficult stretch.

If Frontier’s turbulence has you looking more broadly across airlines, it could be a good moment to scan other aerospace and defense stocks that might better fit your risk and return preferences.

With Frontier reporting US$3,729.0m in revenue but a US$137.0m net loss, and trading around US$4.73 with analysts targeting about US$5.44, you have to ask: is this a potential entry point, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 16.5% Undervalued

With the narrative fair value at US$5.67 versus the recent US$4.73 close, the story centres on whether future earnings can close that gap.

The expansion of premium product offerings (e.g., first-class seating, UpFront Plus), increased loyalty cardholder engagement, and enhanced ancillary service monetization are driving higher non-fare revenue per passenger, supporting both top-line growth and margin expansion over the medium term.

Curious how a low-fare carrier ends up with this valuation gap? The narrative leans on rising margins, faster revenue growth, and a future earnings multiple that undercuts the broader US airlines sector. Want to see exactly how those moving parts are stitched together?

Result: Fair Value of $5.67 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this hinges on leisure demand holding up and Frontier keeping costs in check, as prolonged oversupply or rising non fuel expenses could quickly pressure margins.
