What Is Pushing GOGO Stock Up?

In-flight broadband Internet services provider Gogo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GOGO) closed 7.6% higher on Wednesday. It gained another 1.7% in after-hours trading to end the day at $20.99. Further, the stock was trading almost 0.5% up in the pre-market session at the time of writing on Thursday.

The price jumps follow the company’s announcement on Tuesday that GOGO stock will be included on the S&P SmallCap 600 index from Friday, April 8. Gogo will replace SPX FLOW Inc. (NYSE: FLOW) on the index.

Colorado-based Gogo offers in-flight broadband Internet connectivity and wireless entertainment services to the commercial and business aviation markets.

Wall Street’s Take

Last month, after the company released upbeat fourth-quarter results, Roth Capital analyst Scott Searle maintained a Buy rating on the stock and raised the price target to $21 from $20.50 (1.7% upside potential).

The analyst said, “Gogo continues to be underappreciated given its duopoly-like status, strong demand characteristics, underpenetrated market, and strong financial characteristics.”

Based on two Buys and two Holds, Gogo has a Moderate Buy consensus rating. GOGO’s average price target of $19.67 implies 4.8% downside potential from current levels. Shares have gained almost 99% over the past year.
