American Airlines Group Inc., through its subsidiaries, operates as a network air carrier. The company provides scheduled air transportation services for passengers and cargo through its hubs in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C., as well as through partner gateways in London, Doha, Madrid, Seattle/Tacoma, Sydney, and Tokyo. It operates a mainline fleet of 965 aircraft. The company was formerly known as AMR Corporation and changed its name to American Airlines Group Inc. in December 2013. American Airlines Group Inc. was founded in 1926 and is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.

American Airlines выглядит как компания с большим масштабом выручки, но с очень слабым качеством прибыли и баланса. Выручка около 13.9 млрд долл. остаётся высокой и в целом держится на сопоставимом уровне по кварталам, что поддерживает инвестиционный кейс, однако это не превращается в устойчивую прибыльность. EPS и прогноз EPS остаются отрицательными, а чистая прибыль и операционная прибыль в TTM фактически на нуле, что указывает на нестабильное восстановление после периода давления на маржу. Операционная маржа около 3.0% и чистая маржа 0.36% заметно ниже отраслевых ориентиров, а валовая маржа 22.75% за год слегка снизилась, что говорит о слабой способности конвертировать выручку в итоговый результат. По эффективности картина также слабая: ROA и ROI существенно ниже медианы отрасли, а ROE и доходность на материальный капитал не дают позитивного сигнала. С точки зрения оценки акции выглядят недорого по P/S и P/FCF, но это частично объясняется низкой рентабельностью и цикличностью бизнеса, поэтому низкие мультипликаторы здесь не являются однозначным признаком недооценки. P/E выше медианы отрасли при отрицательной и нестабильной прибыли выглядит особенно неубедительно и повышает риск переоценки. Ликвидность остаётся слабым местом: current ratio и quick ratio ниже комфортных уровней, что ограничивает запас прочности в случае ухудшения спроса или роста затрат. Долговая нагрузка по абсолютным величинам остаётся высокой, а отрицательный собственный капитал делает баланс уязвимым и повышает чувствительность к процентным ставкам и внешним шокам. При этом денежная позиция в 7.6 млрд долл. и положительный net worth по сравнению с отраслью частично смягчают риски, но не меняют общей картины. Дивидендная доходность для такого профиля бизнеса не выглядит значимым фактором поддержки оценки. В сумме фундаментал скорее ограничивает потенциал роста и оправдывает осторожный пересмотр целевой цены вниз, чем вверх.

Stocks See Support from Hopes for a Near-term US-Iran Peace Agreement

American Airlines (AAL) shares rallied 9.2% in the last trading session to close at $14.65. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 5.6% gain over the past four weeks.
American Airlines shares were lifted by President Trump's decision to call off planned military strikes against Iran. In fact, AAL shares have performed very well over a month, gaining more than 15% in the time period. The carrier expects record travel during the ongoing summer season (May 21-Sept. 8, 2026). During the period, the airline expects to fly a record 75 million passengers across 750,000 flights.
This world's largest airline is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.06 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -93.7%. Revenues are expected to be $16.68 billion, up 15.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For American Airlines, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.8% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't usually translate into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on AAL going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
American Airlines is a member of the Zacks Transportation - Airline industry. One other stock in the same industry, Delta Air Lines (DAL), finished the last trading session 7% higher at $81.83. DAL has returned 7.6% over the past month.
Delta's consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $1.49. Compared to the company's year-ago EPS, this represents a change of -29.1%. Delta currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Beyond Nvidia: AI's Second Wave Is Here
The AI revolution has already minted millionaires. But the stocks everyone knows about aren't likely to keep delivering the biggest profits. AI’s second wave is moving from infrastructure to implementation and these companies are at the forefront of this transition, positioned to become what Amazon and Google were to the internet era.

Stocks raced to their highs Thursday afternoon when President Trump said he canceled planned military strikes against Iran, citing "discussions" with Iranian leadership. He added that a "time and place of the signing" of a negotiated end to the war would "be announced shortly," and the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz "will remain in full force and effect until this transaction is finalized."
Stocks were initially weighed down on Thursday amid concerns about the escalation of Middle East hostilities after President Trump said the US will be hitting Iran very hard tonight and will "at some point" take control of Kharg Island, Iran's key export hub, thus taking control of Iran's oil and gas markets.
Stocks were also pressured by Thursday’s US economic reports, which showed that weekly US jobless claims unexpectedly rose to a 4-month high and that May producer prices were mixed.
Late Wednesday, President Trump said the US will continue bombing Iran if it refuses to agree to an interim peace deal. Mr. Trump ordered multiple strikes on Iranian targets on Wednesday, and Iran retaliated by firing on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. The increase in tensions risks derailing peace talks between Iran and the US, thus keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed, and further tightening global energy supplies.
US weekly initial unemployment claims unexpectedly rose +4,000 to a 4-month high of 229,000, showing a weaker labor market than expectations of a decline to 220,000.
US May PPI final demand rose +1.1% m/m and +6.5% y/y, stronger than expectations of +0.7% m/m and +6.4% y/y, with the +6.5% y/y gain being the largest year-on-year increase in 3.5 years. However, May PI ex food and energy rose +0.4% m/m and +4.9% y/y, weaker than expectations of +0.5% m/m and +5.4% y/y.
WTI crude oil prices (CLN26) are extremely volatile, whipsawing higher and lower several times on Thursday. Crude prices today initially gave up an overnight advance of more than +2% and fell more than -2% after President Trump said he canceled planned strikes on Iran and that a peace deal to end the war was imminent. Crude prices initially rallied more than +2% on Thursday when President Trump said the US would keep attacking Iran and threatened to seize the Kharg Island oil terminal, Iran’s main crude exporting hub.
The markets are discounting a 0% chance of a +25 bp rate hike at the next FOMC meeting on June 16-17.
Overseas stock markets settled mixed on Thursday. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed up +0.78%. China's Shanghai Composite closed down -0.16%. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average recovered from a 2.5-week low and closed up +0.06%.
Interest Rates
September 10-year T-notes (ZNU6) on Thursday closed up +17 ticks, and the 10-year T-note yield fell -9.3 bp to 4.459%. T-notes rallied on Thursday after US weekly jobless claims unexpectedly rose to a 4-month high and May producer prices ex-food and energy rose less than expected, dovish factors for Fed policy. T-notes also garnered support on Thursday from the -2% fall in WTI crude oil prices, which lowered inflation expectations. The 10-year breakeven inflation rate fell to a 2.5-month low of 2.303% on Thursday.
Gains in T-notes were limited after stocks rallied sharply, which curbed safe-haven demand for government debt securities. Also, slack demand for the Treasury’s $22 billion auction of 30-year T-bonds was negative for T-notes, as the auction had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.33, below the 10-auction average of 2.39.
European government bond yields moved lower on Thursday. The 10-year German Bund yield fell from a 2.5-week high of 3.091% and finished down -4.5 bp to 3.032%. The 10-year UK gilt yield fell -2.6 bp to 4.905%.
The ECB, as expected, raised the deposit facility rate by +25 bp to 2.25% from 2.00% and said, "The outlook remains uncertain, with upside risks for inflation and downside risks for economic growth."
The ECB cut its 2026 Eurozone GDP estimate to +0.8% from a previous estimate of +0.9% and raised its 2026 Eurozone inflation ex-food and energy forecast to +2.5% from a previous forecast of +2.3%.
Swaps are discounting a 62% chance of a +25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on July 23.
US Stock Movers
Chipmakers and AI-infrastructure stocks rallied sharply on Thursday amid signs that AI spending is continuing after Oracle reported quarterly capital expenditures that were higher than expected, driven by increased data center spending. Sandisk (SNDK) closed up more than +14% to lead gainers in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, and KLA Corp (KLAC) closed up more than +13%. Also, Lam Research (LRCX) closed up more than +12%, and Applied Materials (AMAT), ARM Holdings Plc (ARM), Marvell Technology (MRVL), and Micron Technology (MU) closed up more than +11%.

Also, Carnival (CCL) closed up more than +8%, and Southwest Airlines (LUV) and Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL) closed up more than +7%.

Also, Autodesk (ADSK) closed down more than -7% to lead losers in the Nasdaq 100, and Adobe Systems (ADBE) closed down more than -6%. In addition, Workday (WDAY) closed down more than -5%, and Salesforce (CRM) closed down more than -2% to lead losers in the Dow Jones Industrials.

Stocks Settle Sharply Higher on Middle East Peace Hopes

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Wednesday closed down -1.62%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed down -1.87%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed down -1.98%. June E-mini S&P futures (ESM26) fell -1.62%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM26) fell -2.07%.

Stocks extended losses and crude oil prices added to gains on Wednesday when President Trump pledged to strike Iran again after accusing the country of delaying talks on an interim peace deal. Mr. Trump declined to say what targets US forces would hit but said: "We hit them hard yesterday, and we're going to hit them hard again today."
Stocks found some support on Wednesday after US May consumer prices came in as expected, easing inflation concerns. Also, sharp gains in crude oil prices on Wednesday lifted energy producers.
US May CPI rose +4.2% y/y, right on expectations and the fastest pace of increase in 3 years. May core CPI rose +2.9% y/y, right on expectations, and the fastest pace of increase in 7 months.
US MBA mortgage applications rose +10.8% in the week ended June 5, with the purchase mortgage sub-index up +7.3% and the refinancing mortgage sub-index up +15.3%. The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage rose +3 bp to 6.60% from 6.57% in the prior week.
WTI crude oil prices (CLN26) soared more than +2% on Wednesday after the US and Iran exchanged strikes overnight. The US said it had completed an operation that saw fighter jets strike Iranian air defenses, ground control stations, and radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for Iran shooting down a US Apache helicopter. In response, Iran launched missiles at four US military targets and fired drones at the main US naval base in the Middle East, located in Bahrain, and struck Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait.

Stocks Fall on Weakness in Tech and Trucking Companies

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – June 10, 2026 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Southwest Airlines LUV, American Airlines AAL and SkyWest SKYW.
Here are highlights from Tuesday’s Analyst Blog:
3 Airline Stocks to Watch Amid IATA's Subdued 2026 Profit Forecast
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has sharply reduced its profit outlook for the global airline industry in 2026, citing a surge in oil prices triggered by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The industry body warned that higher fuel costs are expected to weigh heavily on airline earnings. Fuel remains one of the largest operating expenses for carriers, making airlines particularly vulnerable to disruptions in global energy markets.
IATA noted that passenger demand remains relatively resilient. Moreover, airlines may attempt to pass some of the additional fuel costs on to consumers through higher ticket prices, but competitive pressures and concerns about weakening consumer spending could limit their ability to do so.
As a result, many carriers are expected to face increased financial strain despite continued growth in air travel demand. Given this backdrop, we believe that investors would do well to keep an eye on airline stocks like Southwest Airlines, American Airlines and SkyWest.
Surge in Fuel Costs: A Bane for Airlines' Bottom Line
The fragile ceasefire between Iran and the United States has revived uncertainty in financial markets. Crude oil prices have experienced significant swings in response to developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping corridor.
Oil has continued to trade at elevated levels, moving within the $90–$95 per barrel range amid concerns about rising inflationary pressures. High fuel costs are naturally hurting the bottom line of airlines. This is because fuel expenses represent a key input cost for airlines.
IATA's Revised Forecast for 2026
Due to high fuel costs, IATA nearly halved its profitability projection for 2026. Per IATA, airlines are projected to earn a combined net profit of $23 billion this year, down from an estimated $45 billion in 2025 and well below an earlier forecast of $41 billion for 2026. The industry's net profit margin is expected to shrink to 2% from 4.2% last year. The earlier projection for the 2026 net profit margin was 3.9%.
Passenger ticket revenues are, however, expected to remain strong and drive 9.4% year-over-year growth in industry revenues to $1.17 trillion. Per IATA, passenger revenues in 2026 are anticipated to be $839 billion (up 9.2% year over year), which is nearly 72% of total revenues. The increasing ticket prices are likely to cover the substantial increase in airlines' key input costs. Airlines are also relying on capacity discipline-related measures, like discontinuing unprofitable flights and consolidating routes to counter the high fuel costs.
Ancillary revenues are expected to be $165 billion. Per IATA, 5.1 billion people are likely to take to the skies in 2026, up 2.4% year over year. Cargo revenues in 2026 are expected to be $162 billion, representing a 7.2% year-over-year increase. Cargo volumes in 2026 are expected to reach 71.7 million tonnes in 2026, up marginally from year-ago levels.
Despite the top-line improvement, revenue growth is expected to lag operating expense growth of 13% to $1.12 trillion. Fuel costs are expected to rise by nearly 40% from $252 billion in 2025 to $350 billion in 2026. The average price of crude oil is anticipated at $95/barrel (Brent) for the year (up 37% from $69 in 2025). Non-fuel costs are expected to rise 4% to $767 billion, driven by a 4% uptick in labor costs. The shortage of renewal aircraft, too, has put a strain on the cost picture. Passenger load factor (% of seats filled by passengers) is expected to touch a record 84% during the year.
On a region-wise basis, North American carriers are expected to reap net profits of $9.4 billion in 2026, down from $12.4 billion in 2025. With most U.S. carriers having abandoned fuel hedging strategies, such an oil supply disruption has left them fully exposed to price spikes.
European carriers are expected to reap net profits of $9.6 billion, despite being highly dependent on Gulf imports for jet fuel. The profitability of carriers in regions like Latin America, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific is likely to decline in 2026 from the year-ago levels, mainly due to the jet fuel crisis.
The updated profitability forecast for 2026 highlights the industry's continued exposure to geopolitical risks and commodity price volatility. Until tensions in the Middle East ease and fuel prices moderate, airlines are likely to focus on cost-control measures, fuel-efficiency initiatives, and capacity adjustments to protect earnings in an increasingly uncertain operating environment.
3 Airline Stocks to Keep a Tab On
Despite the oil price volatility, air-travel demand remains upbeat. As a result, investors interested in the Zacks Transportation - Airline industry would do well to keep airline stocks on their radar for healthy gains.
Our Choices
Southwest Airlines is benefiting from its lean cost structure, expanding operations and strategic partnerships. Efforts to reward its shareholders also bode well. LUV no longer aggressively follows the practice of fuel hedging, having discontinued the practice. However, the low-cost carrier still has some hedging contracts.
LUV has a decent earnings surprise history. The company's earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters, missed on one occasion and came in line in the other quarter, delivering an average surprise of 247%. Southwest Airlines currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here
AmericanAirlines expects record travel during the ongoing summer season (May 21-Sept. 8, 2026). During the period, the airline expects to fly a record 75 million passengers across 750,000 flights.
American Airlines' shares have gained 6.3% over the past month. The carrier's earnings have surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters and missed the mark once. The average earnings beat was 2.6%. American Airlines currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.
SkyWest is benefiting from strong air travel demand, despite the macroeconomic tensions, and its associated fleet modernization initiatives. A solid balance sheet enables the regional carrier to reward shareholders with share repurchases consistently. SKYW currently carries a Zacks Rank #3
SkyWest is based in St. George, UT. Its resilient business model, whereby the carrier has capacity purchase agreements with major carriers, minimizes direct exposure to fuel price fluctuations. The company's earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, delivering an average surprise of 8.8%
