Pinnacle Airlines Corp. (PNCL)

for the moment, this sector looks rather bearish, until another analyst upgrades it, or Some firm wants to Pump and Dump, i think it will pull back.

I examined the stock from the annual and quarterly perspective. Since their last annual report to the 2nd quarter, they've improved their ability to pay the debt load that they picked up. Their market valuation also dropped, suggesting to me that the market is undervaluing them.

Their CEO has been in the industry for a long time. I like the fact that PNCL is actually operating two airlines (Pinnacle and Colgan Air). Even better, they're on the eastern seaboard (a lot of travel there), and as the recession ends and travelers return to the skies, I think they're poised for some growth.

Seems too good to be true, but in CAPS I'll take the risk.

This airline making some bread Fred.

Intrinsic value of $30.

This stock has some uncertainty but it is DIRT cheap. Buy Now

Pinnacle Airlines is a risky stock pick. It is however i believe a good investment. I believe that it's stock will at the very least double within the next two years. It is a regional jet company who receives outsourced planes from other major airlines.

a solid company experiencing tough time, but will eventually rebound

Small investment on a whim...low cost and Monesh Parabi recommendation. Risky, but seems to have more upside at this point with a price of $7.71. Not an attractive sector, but hoping long-term charter contracts help it weather the storm.

Pabrai. Airlines beat to a pulp by overreaction to cost of fuel and recession fears. Neither will persist long term, and may abate by 3Q. People will continue to fly.

Colgan Air is the secret. Colgan Air will bring in so much business in the next several months with its strategic alliances with USAir, Continental, and United together with the addition of its new airplanes and destination cities.

The benefits of airline growth without airline risk.
They provide regional jet service to major airlines like Northwest and Continental. The majors bear the risk of fuel costs, passenger loads, etc. They just got new fuel efficient planes. Well positioned to grow over the next few years. Plus Pabrai Funds (the famous Warren Buffet clone) owns 15% or so.

Owned stock since 8/06, increased by 75.13%.

Monish Pabrai accumulating; overall industry must consolidate. One unknown is status of Northwest Airlines, but basic valuation of this stock is cheap.

Deep value play. Airlines are beaten down. This one is making good money and will see nice upside once the sector recovers. The price is ridiculously cheap.

Pinnacle Airlines operates out of roughly 125 different cities in North America and partners directly with the re-emerging Northwest Airlines. Pinnacle is a stand-out on the books with a steady dose of profits. PNCL has been delivering 15% EPS growth in the most recent year over year figures and looks to keep that going in 2008/2009. Forward earnings have PNCL pegged at roughly 4.5 times its current share price and they are getting very close to having as much of a cash pile as they maintain in debt. I figure this is the perfect time to purchase airlines with oil jumping over $102 per barrel. Listen, if Boone Pickens turns bearish on oil, you had better turn bearish on oil as well, and the sector which will most immediately benefit from a 15% drop in oil prices is the airline sector. I see limited downside here with the company trading at what I'd consider bare-bones expectations here.

It's CPA segment (Northwest, Continental and Delta) itself is worth more than the stock price. With the addition of the Delta and Continental planes over the next few quarters, the Cash flow will be evident in 2009.

Has a contractual agreement leaving relatively less risk on the invested capital. The business plan is shareholder friendly.
