What's Going On With Spirit Airlines Stock?
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Spirit Airlines Inc (NYSE:SAVE) filed for a mixed shelf offering, allowing for the sale of warrants and the resale of up to 899,560 shares of common stock. This follows a federal judge blocking JetBlue's acquisition of Spirit, a move previously seen as positive for Spirit's financial struggles. Spirit will not receive proceeds from the sale. The potential merger faces a deadline by July, with options to extend or terminate.
