Blade Air Mobility: Margin Improvements Are Indicative Of A Brighter Future
Blade's Q4 2024 results were solid, with strong underlying Passenger growth and improving margins. Medical revenue fell short of expectations, though. The stock continues to struggle, though, due to headwinds from Blade's Canada exit, weak 2025 guidance and macro uncertainty. Blade's valuation is low, particularly given its growth prospects and a likely transition to positive free cash flows in 2026.
