Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 23

Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ULCC) is one of the best airline stocks to buy according to hedge funds. On July 7, UBS reiterated a ‘Neutral’ rating on the stock but increased its price target to $4 from $3.50.

The price target hike comes as the research firm expects the company to deliver second-quarter results in line with guidance. As of May 20, Frontier Group was tracking according to guidance. UBS expects revenue per available seat mile to grow by 1.2%, compared to a low single-digit percentage growth scheduled according to the guidance.

UBS analysis also suggests that the company may have felt the full impact of inflation in the second quarter. Deteriorating demand might have triggered a reduced close in capacity, resulting in fewer sale-leaseback gains. Consequently, the cost per available seat increased by 23%, excluding fuel.

It is involved in several industries, including airlines, environmental remediation, industrial demolition, asset recovery, and commercial development.
