For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates project earnings of $1.65 per share and a revenue of $53.89 billion, demonstrating changes of -37.74% and +2.08%, respectively, from the preceding year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for American Airlines should also be noted by investors. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research demonstrates that these adjustments in estimates directly associate with imminent stock price performance. To capitalize on this, we've crafted the Zacks Rank, a unique model that incorporates these estimate changes and offers a practical rating system.
