Airline stocks shares fall on American’s so-so 1Q outlook

American said that it expects to report a small profit for the first quarter, but one that could easily be below Wall Street expectations.

JPMorgan analyst Jamie Baker said the slowing is primarily in bookings for travel within the United States, which were running 40% over 2022 levels in late January but flat by early April. They could fall below year-ago levels from here, he wrote. Delta Air Lines will be the first major U.S. airline to report first-quarter results on Thursday, but American’s update might have provided a glimpse of what is to come.

Cowen analyst Helane Becker said, however, that American’s update was better than she expected and that second-quarter revenue should remain strong because demand is solid while the supply of airline seats is still below 2019 levels.

Airline stocks shares fall on American's so-so 1Q outlookShares of airlines are falling after American issued a lackluster first-quarter outlook and said profit could be below Wall Street expectations. American said Wednesday that it expects to earn between a penny and 5 cents per share for the quarter that just ended. That leaves room for American to fall short of analysts' prediction that the airline would earn 5 cents per share. American indicates that demand for travel remains strong despite inflation and economic uncertainty, which is helping airlines charge higher fares. But they also face rising costs for labor and jet fuel. That’s what happens with inflation making prices jump way up.
