What the filing says
Allegiant Travel posted Q3 2026 GAAP net loss of $15.2M ($0.56/share) on $961.6M revenue, but adjusted net loss of only $0.9M ($0.03/share), expanding adjusted operating margin by 340bps YoY to 3.1% despite fuel costs surging 55.5%. The company acquired Sun Country Airlines on May 13, 2026 for an unspecified consideration (paid in stock); Sun Country contributed $277.8M of Q3 revenue and 43 aircraft. Allegiant reaffirmed full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of >$6.00 and guided Q4 adjusted EPS of $1.00–$1.50. Total debt is $2.9B; net debt $2.1B; liquidity $1.1B.
Why this rating
Material M&A (Sun Country acquisition) already closed; Q3 results beat margin guidance amid fuel headwinds; reaffirmed full-year guidance provides confidence. Relative to ~$861M market cap, $2.9B debt and integration execution risk are noteworthy but manageable given strong EBITDA generation ($110.9M adj. EBITDA in Q3 alone).
