UBS analyst Thomas Wadewitz initiates coverage on $American Airlines (AAL.US)$ with a hold rating, and sets the target price at $16.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 55.4% and a total average return of 8.4% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $American Airlines (AAL.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
American Airlines' future Q4 results and 2025 guidance are anticipated to demonstrate significant improvements in high-quality revenue streams, including premium cabin services, loyalty programs, and co-branded cards. Current market levels indicate some skepticism regarding these potential enhancements, but these forthcoming results could dispel these doubts.
The balance of supply and demand is considered a pivotal influence on airline RASM growth and margin performance. A forecasted deceleration in supply growth, from 5%-6% in the first half of 2024 to 1%-2% in the latter half, is anticipated to advance the equilibrium between supply and demand. This adjustment is expected to result in stronger RASM growth and enhanced margins in 2025. Meanwhile, diminished pretax margin performance remains a challenge to cash generation and further investment in capacity.
