Still, the price target of $4.50 offers a downside risk of about 25% relative to Friday’s closing price of $6.06.

The analysts also shared their thoughts on the Airlines, in general.

“We would be surprised to see revenue guidance raises at upcoming early September conferences, though there is a chance for carriers with higher long-haul international exposure in mid-September.

Group feels washed-out and oversold,” they wrote.

Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) and Alaska Air (NYSE:ALK) are among their Top Picks in the Airlines sector.
