American Airlines expects bigger losses despite record revenue due to soaring fuel costs

American Airlines forecasted deeper losses for the year, expecting an adjusted loss of $1 to $1.60 per share, worsening from its previous forecast of up to a 65-cent loss per share. This comes despite the airline reporting record third-quarter revenue of $16.34 billion, beating expectations, driven by strong premium segment performance. The company cited a spike in fuel costs as the main factor preventing profitability. CEO Robert Isom remains optimistic about continued revenue growth due to strategic investments, but the high fuel expenses will continue to pressure earnings.

American Airlines Group Inc has a market cap of $8.10 billion and an enterprise value of $36.06 billion as of Oct 22, 2026 18:12 WIB. On Pluang, the stock is trading at USD 11.94, down 2.41% for the day, with a high volume of 76,690,128 shares changing hands. Despite the recent forecast of deeper losses, Pluang investors show a balanced sentiment with 57% selling and 43% buying activity.
