    The so-called "reopening trade" took flight on Tuesday, with headlines suggesting the latest pandemic surge had peaked in a number of key states and that optimism continues about the vaccine rollout. Booking Holdings (NASDAQ:BKNG) shares rallied 6% higher, and among airline stocks shares of American Airlines Group (NASDAQ:AAL), Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV), United Airlines Holdings (NASDAQ:UAL), and Spirit Airlines (NYSE:SAVE) each climbed 5%.

  • [By Adam Levine-Weinberg]

    In late 2016, I wrote that shares of Spirit Airlines (NYSE:SAVE) could reach $100 by 2020. Since then, there's been a lot of movement -- both up and down -- for Spirit Airlines stock, but the share price is almost exactly back where it started.
