Downgrade hits Independence Air
Stock tumbles 26 percent over viability concerns http://www.marketwatch.com/1.gif By Matt Andrejczak, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 3:07 PM ET Oct. 19, 2004 SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - Independence Air tumbled more than 26 percent Tuesday over fresh concerns the fledgling low-fare carrier might fail before it succeeds.
UBS downgraded its parent FLYi to "reduce" from "neutral," noting the airline's business plan has not met targets.
UBS warned Independence Air could slide into Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in January when a large aircraft rent payment comes due. Industry analysts peg the semi-annual payment on the 50-seat jets between $60 million to $100 million.
"It's clear to us that FLYi's business plan is not working," UBS analyst Robert Ashcroft wrote in a research note. "We believe the chance of (a) FLYi Ch. 11 is about 65 percent."
Shares of Independence Air (FLYI: news, chart, profile) fell 89 cents to $2.51 in late afternoon trading.
The answer is clear....
Its time to buy Flyi stock!!!
I would almost bet that the author of the above article is on the UAL payroll, trying to incite a riot.
