Interesting... but why only American Airlines? Why not Delta or United? Since the outlook should be getting better for all US airlines. American hasnt been that great in terms of reliability, customer service, vision etc. Probably feels the weakest compared to Delta or United.

While it’s still early in the recovery, he wrote, “increased comfort” around corporate and trans-Atlantic revenue, combined with the carrier’s plans to strengthen its balance sheet, are driving “increased conviction” in earnings for 2022.\nAmerican is expecting a robust recovery in domestic business revenue, McKenzie noted, and its international routes offer exposure to pent-up business demand in the U.K., Europe, and Brazil; American has a new code-sharing agreement with the Brazilian domestic carrier GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes (GOL).\nAmerican has cut labor and operating costs, partly by removing 157 planes from its fleet and improving operating efficiencies with only four major aircraft models. The carrier has also developed strategic partnerships with JetBlue Airways (JBLU) and Alaska Air (ALK), deals that could add $1 billion in 2022 revenue, McKenzie estimated.\nThe carrier could lift margins as well by winnowing its massive debt, including $36 billion of long-term debt and leasing liabilities on its balance sheet. American said this week that it aims to cut its debt by $15 billion over the next four years, taking a big chunk of liabilities off its books.\nMcKenzie estimated that American will post earnings per share of $3.50 in 2023, potentially hitting $4 to $4.50 if partnerships with JetBlue and Alaska pan out. At his target of $27, the stock would still trade at merely 6 times EPS of $3.50.\nAll that said, American’s common equity is now worth just $14 billion—or 39% of its long-term debt. And there are no guarantees that American won’t continue to dilute its shares, as it’s done throughout the pandemic, as it aims to ramp up capacity and compete for more revenue in a recovery.\nAmerican’s high-volume strategy could also run into headwinds if the demand climate doesn’t cooperate.\nNew coronavirus cases are soaring, again with the Delta variant taking root in the U.S., Europe, and other regions. Australia and New Zealand has suspended their travel corridor, and the U.S. has yet to allow travel from Europe, Brazil, India, and China for noncitizens.\nAirline stocks have been grounded for months, moreover, consolidating gains from late 2020 as vaccinations became widespread and travel demand started to rise. The sector is down 10% in the last three months against a 4.5% return for the S&P 500.\nNonetheless, analysts are raising earnings estimates across the sector after a slew of relatively upbeat earnings reports from carriers such as Delta Air Lines (DAL), United Airlines Holdings (UAL) and Southwest Airlines (LUV).\nAlong those lines, Cowen’s Helane Becker raised her target on American to $23 while maintaining a Market Perform rating. Her 2023 EPS estimate is well below McKenzie’s, at $2.55, though. At her $23 target, the stock would trade at 9 times earnings.\nBernstein analystDavid Vernonalso liked American’s report, writing that, “if anything, the guidance is more bullish than we expected.” He maintained an Outperform rating and $28 target.\nJP Morgan ‘s Jamie Baker also lifted estimates on American, though he’s staying bearish. While he hiked his target to $17 from $14 and lifted his 2022 EPS target to $1.95 from $1.65, he maintained an Underweight rating.\n“We do not believe the company’s balance sheet strategy has been prudent, especially given the current turbulent environment, and we see better value elsewhere in our coverage,” Baker wrote.\nBetting against American has been the wrong call this year, though. The stock is up 35% this year, trouncing the 13.5% gain for the NYSE Arca Airline Index. In fact, no other airline stock has comes close—the next best performer has been Spirit Airlines (SAVE) at 14.3%.\nInvestors appear to have viewed American as a fixer-upper that’s managed to renovate its house enough to compete as demand recovers. Whether the stock lives up to those expectations is the bet investors are making now.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":803416142,"gmtCreate":1627456132886,"gmtModify":1633764822602,"author":{"id":"3584786668414972","authorId":"3584786668414972","name":"Lim888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e6c0b29781df97f0215fc9daa1e5e31","vip":1,"crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3584786668414972","idStr":"3584786668414972"},"htmlText":"Plz like","listText":"Plz like","text":"Plz like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/803416142","repostId":1104730571,"repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1104730571","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627281157,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1104730571?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-26 14:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"American Is the Year’s Best Airline Stock.

At his target of $27, the stock would still trade at merely 6 times EPS of $3.50.<blockquote>麦肯齐估计，美国航空2023年每股收益将达到3.50美元，如果与捷蓝航空和阿拉斯加航空的合作成功，可能会达到4至4.50美元。按照他27美元的目标，该股的交易价格仍仅为每股收益3.50美元的6倍。</blockquote> All that said, American’s common equity is now worth just $14 billion—or 39% of its long-term debt. And there are no guarantees that American won’t continue to dilute its shares, as it’s done throughout the pandemic, as it aims to ramp up capacity and compete for more revenue in a recovery.<blockquote>尽管如此，美国航空的普通股目前价值仅为140亿美元，占其长期债务的39%。也不能保证美国航空不会像在整个大流行期间那样继续稀释其股票，因为它的目标是在复苏中提高产能并争夺更多收入。</blockquote> American’s high-volume strategy could also run into headwinds if the demand climate doesn’t cooperate.<blockquote>如果需求环境不配合，美国航空的大批量战略也可能会遇到阻力。</blockquote> New coronavirus cases are soaring, again with the Delta variant taking root in the U.S., Europe, and other regions. Australia and New Zealand has suspended their travel corridor, and the U.S. has yet to allow travel from Europe, Brazil, India, and China for noncitizens.<blockquote>随着德尔塔变异毒株再次在美国、欧洲和其他地区扎根，新型冠状病毒病例正在飙升。澳大利亚和新西兰已经暂停了他们的旅行走廊，美国尚未允许非公民从欧洲、巴西、印度和中国旅行。</blockquote> Airline stocks have been grounded for months, moreover, consolidating gains from late 2020 as vaccinations became widespread and travel demand started to rise. The sector is down 10% in the last three months against a 4.5% return for the S&amp;P 500.<blockquote>此外，随着疫苗接种变得广泛和旅行需求开始上升，航空股已停飞数月，巩固了2020年底以来的涨幅。过去三个月，该行业下跌了10%，而标普500的回报率为4.5%。</blockquote> Nonetheless, analysts are raising earnings estimates across the sector after a slew of relatively upbeat earnings reports from carriers such as Delta Air Lines (DAL), United Airlines Holdings (UAL) and Southwest Airlines (LUV).<blockquote>尽管如此，在达美航空(DAL)、联合航空控股(UAL)和西南航空(LUV)等航空公司发布一系列相对乐观的盈利报告后，分析师正在上调整个行业的盈利预期。</blockquote> Along those lines, Cowen’s Helane Becker raised her target on American to $23 while maintaining a Market Perform rating. Her 2023 EPS estimate is well below McKenzie’s, at $2.55, though. At her $23 target, the stock would trade at 9 times earnings.<blockquote>沿着这些思路，Cowen的Helane Becker将美国航空的目标上调至23美元，同时维持市场表现评级。不过，她对2023年每股收益的预期远低于麦肯齐的2.55美元。按照她23美元的目标，该股的市盈率为9倍。</blockquote> Bernstein analystDavid Vernonalso liked American’s report, writing that, “if anything, the guidance is more bullish than we expected.” He maintained an Outperform rating and $28 target.<blockquote>伯恩斯坦分析师大卫·弗农也喜欢美国航空的报告，他写道：“如果说有什么不同的话，那就是指引比我们预期的更加乐观。”他维持跑赢大盘评级和28美元的目标。</blockquote> JP Morgan ‘s Jamie Baker also lifted estimates on American, though he’s staying bearish. While he hiked his target to $17 from $14 and lifted his 2022 EPS target to $1.95 from $1.65, he maintained an Underweight rating.<blockquote>摩根大通的杰米·贝克也上调了对美国航空的预期，尽管他仍然看跌。虽然他将目标从14美元上调至17美元，并将2022年每股收益目标从1.65美元上调至1.95美元，但他维持了跑输大盘评级。</blockquote> “We do not believe the company’s balance sheet strategy has been prudent, especially given the current turbulent environment, and we see better value elsewhere in our coverage,” Baker wrote.<blockquote>贝克写道：“我们认为该公司的资产负债表策略并不谨慎，特别是考虑到当前动荡的环境，我们在其他地方看到了更好的价值。”</blockquote> Betting against American has been the wrong call this year, though. The stock is up 35% this year, trouncing the 13.5% gain for the NYSE Arca Airline Index. In fact, no other airline stock has comes close—the next best performer has been Spirit Airlines (SAVE) at 14.3%.<blockquote>不过，今年做空美国航空是错误的看涨期权。该股今年上涨了35%，超过了纽约证券交易所Arca航空指数13.5%的涨幅。事实上，没有其他航空公司股票能与之相提并论——表现第二好的是精神航空(SAVE)，股价为14.3%。</blockquote> Investors appear to have viewed American as a fixer-upper that’s managed to renovate its house enough to compete as demand recovers. Whether the stock lives up to those expectations is the bet investors are making now.<blockquote>投资者似乎将美国航空视为一家修修补补的公司，它成功地翻新了房屋，以在需求复苏时进行竞争。该股是否符合这些预期是投资者现在的赌注。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.barrons.com/articles/american-is-the-years-best-airline-stock-wall-street-is-getting-more-bullish-51627058814?mod=hp_LEAD_1_B_3\">Barrons</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAL":"美国航空"},"source_url":"https://www.barrons.com/articles/american-is-the-years-best-airline-stock-wall-street-is-getting-more-bullish-51627058814?mod=hp_LEAD_1_B_3","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1104730571","content_text":"American has been the year’s best airline stock, but it’s winning more backing on Wall Street with several analysts upgrading the stock after a relatively strong earnings report.\nSeaport Global Securities’ Daniel McKenzie upgraded American (ticker: AAL) stock to a Buy rating with a $27 target on Friday.

While it’s still early in the recovery, he wrote, “increased comfort” around corporate and trans-Atlantic revenue, combined with the carrier’s plans to strengthen its balance sheet, are driving “increased conviction” in earnings for 2022.\nAmerican is expecting a robust recovery in domestic business revenue, McKenzie noted, and its international routes offer exposure to pent-up business demand in the U.K., Europe, and Brazil; American has a new code-sharing agreement with the Brazilian domestic carrier GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes (GOL).\nAmerican has cut labor and operating costs, partly by removing 157 planes from its fleet and improving operating efficiencies with only four major aircraft models. The carrier has also developed strategic partnerships with JetBlue Airways (JBLU) and Alaska Air (ALK), deals that could add $1 billion in 2022 revenue, McKenzie estimated.\nThe carrier could lift margins as well by winnowing its massive debt, including $36 billion of long-term debt and leasing liabilities on its balance sheet. American said this week that it aims to cut its debt by $15 billion over the next four years, taking a big chunk of liabilities off its books.\nMcKenzie estimated that American will post earnings per share of $3.50 in 2023, potentially hitting $4 to $4.50 if partnerships with JetBlue and Alaska pan out. At his target of $27, the stock would still trade at merely 6 times EPS of $3.50.\nAll that said, American’s common equity is now worth just $14 billion—or 39% of its long-term debt. And there are no guarantees that American won’t continue to dilute its shares, as it’s done throughout the pandemic, as it aims to ramp up capacity and compete for more revenue in a recovery.\nAmerican’s high-volume strategy could also run into headwinds if the demand climate doesn’t cooperate.\nNew coronavirus cases are soaring, again with the Delta variant taking root in the U.S., Europe, and other regions. Australia and New Zealand has suspended their travel corridor, and the U.S. has yet to allow travel from Europe, Brazil, India, and China for noncitizens.\nAirline stocks have been grounded for months, moreover, consolidating gains from late 2020 as vaccinations became widespread and travel demand started to rise. The sector is down 10% in the last three months against a 4.5% return for the S&P 500.\nNonetheless, analysts are raising earnings estimates across the sector after a slew of relatively upbeat earnings reports from carriers such as Delta Air Lines (DAL), United Airlines Holdings (UAL) and Southwest Airlines (LUV).\nAlong those lines, Cowen’s Helane Becker raised her target on American to $23 while maintaining a Market Perform rating. Her 2023 EPS estimate is well below McKenzie’s, at $2.55, though. At her $23 target, the stock would trade at 9 times earnings.\nBernstein analystDavid Vernonalso liked American’s report, writing that, “if anything, the guidance is more bullish than we expected.” He maintained an Outperform rating and $28 target.\nJP Morgan ‘s Jamie Baker also lifted estimates on American, though he’s staying bearish. While he hiked his target to $17 from $14 and lifted his 2022 EPS target to $1.95 from $1.65, he maintained an Underweight rating.\n“We do not believe the company’s balance sheet strategy has been prudent, especially given the current turbulent environment, and we see better value elsewhere in our coverage,” Baker wrote.\nBetting against American has been the wrong call this year, though. The stock is up 35% this year, trouncing the 13.5% gain for the NYSE Arca Airline Index. In fact, no other airline stock has comes close—the next best performer has been Spirit Airlines (SAVE) at 14.3%.\nInvestors appear to have viewed American as a fixer-upper that’s managed to renovate its house enough to compete as demand recovers. Whether the stock lives up to those expectations is the bet investors are making now.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":21,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":false,"tenantId":"TBCN","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"laohu8","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/1104730571","isCrawlerRequest":true}
