American Airlines (AAL) Earnings Preview: Soft Demand Clouds Q3 Outlook
American Airlines faces headwinds as it prepares to report Q3 earnings, with analysts projecting a loss of $0.28 per share on $13.63 billion revenue. The forecast reflects weaker unit revenue trends across domestic and international markets—a stark contrast to last year's $0.30 EPS and $13.65 billion performance.
Despite beating estimates in Q2 with record $14.39 billion revenue, the carrier flagged flat pricing and rising costs as persistent challenges. Investors will scrutinize passenger enplanement figures for signs of sustained post-pandemic demand recovery.
