Monitor for potential delisting, bankruptcy filing, or index removal as likely catalysts for the complete passive exodus; absence of any institutional buyers suggests severely limited near-term upside without a fundamental turnaround.
Executive Summary
Three major passive institutional investors — Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and Schwab — fully exited their positions in Spirit Airlines (SAVEQ) during Q4 2024, collectively selling $3.84 million in shares. This coordinated exit by mega-passive funds suggests a broad de-risking or index-related removal rather than active bearish conviction, but still reflects complete withdrawal of institutional support.
