Allegiant Travel Company ( (ALGT) ) has provided an update.

On April 20, 2026, Allegiant Travel Company detailed the future composition of its board of directors following its planned acquisition of Sun Country Airlines, first announced on January 11, 2026 and expected to close as early as May 13, 2026. Allegiant’s board will expand from eight to eleven members, adding Sun Country President and CEO Jude Bricker and directors Jennifer Vogel and Thomas Kennedy, who will join as non-employee directors and participate in Allegiant’s standard director compensation program.

Allegiant also entered into an Advisory Services Agreement on April 8, 2026 with Bricker, to take effect after the mergers close, under which he will serve as an independent contractor advising on integration, a single FAA operating certificate, and retention of Sun Country’s charter, cargo and commercial relationships. The transaction is set to create a leading leisure-focused U.S. airline with more than 650 routes, combining Allegiant’s small and mid-sized market strength with Sun Country’s larger-city and international footprint, headquartered in Las Vegas with a significant Minneapolis–St. Paul presence, while both airlines initially continue to operate separately with no immediate changes to customer ticketing or schedules.

The most recent analyst rating on (ALGT) stock is a Hold with a $100.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Allegiant Travel Company stock, see the ALGT Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on ALGT Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ALGT is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by inconsistent profitability and leverage risk despite solid operating cash flow. This is partially offset by constructive earnings-call guidance (improving margins and higher expected EPS) and mixed-but-stable technicals, while valuation is weakened by the negative P/E and lack of dividend yield data.
