American Airlines Group Inc.

American Airlines (AAL) experienced significant stock volatility in mid-April 2025. A minor plane collision and broader market downturns drove the stock down to $9.51 [1]. This drop followed a Goldman Sachs downgrade to "Sell" due to AAL's high leverage and softening demand [5], [9], [10], while lowered EPS estimates further reinforced the negative outlook [2]. However, AAL announced the cash settlement of its 2025 Convertible Senior Notes, eliminating potential share dilution [11]. They also announced their Q1 2025 earnings call for April 24th [3]. Despite a short-term stock surge related to a temporary tariff pause [4], [8], the company's long-term outlook remains uncertain given ongoing trade tensions and economic slowdown fears [7].
