Adjusting Date of Value Estimate: Mid Year Adjustment (15,492 *(1+.0953)^(118/365)) = 15,955 This creates a “pseudo”April 28, 2014 estimate of value while relying on data from December 31, 2013
Recommendation Recommendation: SELL After capitalizing leases and other debt equivalents, a valuation analysis of LUV gives an estimated Enterprise Value of $15,955, 28.1% lower than the company’s market-based Enterprise Value of $22,201. The difference in value may be partly due to LUV’s nearly 133% run up in stock price during 2013.
