Abstract
This software is to accompany the case. In August 2009, a portfolio manager for Resolute Funds Inc is considering adding WestJet Airlines to his fund's holdings. WestJet, a fast-growing airline based in Calgary, Alberta, has grown rapidly from a start-up to the second-largest airline in Canada. Despite its recent successes, its share price has halved from its high in December 2007, due to the economic crisis. The portfolio manager is trying to determine whether WestJet's shares are attractive. To support his analysis, he has asked his team to assemble comparative financial data on WestJet and its key competitors. The portfolio manager wants to know if he should buy, hold, or sell WestJet's shares.
