# Frontier Group Holdings Inc. (ULCC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Industrials / Airlines. Price $5.96, market value $1.4 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Frontier Group Holdings Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 6.2×**. The shares trade at 6.2× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -12.0%** (5-yr avg -18.1%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: -9.8%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -3.7%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -27.9%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -74.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -74.3%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -5.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces -5.3% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -1.4%** (3-yr 3.8%/yr, 5-yr 24.4%/yr). Revenue fell 1.4% over the last year, against 24.4% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -262.2%**. Earnings per share fell 262.2%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.25**. Debt is 1.25 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.2×**. It would take 0.2 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.67**. A Z-score of 0.67 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
