American Airlines Group Inc

AALBERTS INDUS NV ORD by A. Alberts Industries

Aalberts NV

A recent analyst note from Bank of America outlines a mixed outlook for the U.S. airline industry in 2025, emphasizing strong performance from network carriers and challenges for leisure-focused <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/airlines">airlines</a>.
What To Know: Lead analyst Andrew Didora says Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) leads the pack with robust revenue growth, fueled by corporate travel, premium offerings and Atlantic route expansion. Its Buy rating is reaffirmed with an unchanged price target of $78.
United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) also holds a Buy rating, supported by similar trends, with a price target of $120.

American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) has been upgraded to Neutral and its price target has been raised from $12 to $20. BofA says the airline stands to benefit from Delta-driven industry trends, including premium revenue growth and recovery in corporate travel. BofA also notes the potential to recapture $1.5 billion in market share lost in 2024, though execution risks temper expectations.
Conversely, Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) and JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) face downgrades to Underperform. Southwest's price target is lowered from $33 to $31, reflecting challenges in adapting to post-COVID-19 pandemic industry dynamics, including competition from premium and corporate-focused carriers.
JetBlue's price target remains at $6.50 despite limited capacity growth and higher costs, compounded by a tough comparison to 2024's early Easter holiday.

Alaska Air Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), rated Buy, sees its price target raised to $80 from $70 by BofA, bolstered by opportunities from its Hawaiian Airlines acquisition.
Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>) also benefits from a price target increase, climbing from $54 to $95, although concerns about pilot contracts and rising fuel costs persist. 
Frontier Group Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>), rated Neutral, has its price target adjusted upward from $7.50 to $9 due to slightly higher earnings forecasts.
What Else: While rising jet fuel prices, up 8% year-to-date, weigh on the sector, network carriers like Delta, United and American remain better positioned. BofA expects these airlines to outperform in 2025, leveraging premium revenues and international routes to navigate cost pressures.

B of A Securities Upgrades American Airlines Gr to Neutral, Raises Price Target to $20

A SpaceX Starship test flight on Thursday forced dozens of commercial flights to divert after the Federal Aviation Administration warned of falling debris, highlighting growing tensions between commercial aviation and the expanding space industry.
What Happened: The incident occurred when SpaceX&#8217;s Starship spacecraft experienced what the company termed a &#8220;rapid unscheduled disassembly&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43046722/starship-explodes-during-flight-test-elon-musk-says-success-is-uncertain-but-entertainment-is-guaranteed">during its seventh test flight</a> from Boca Chica, Texas. The event triggered air traffic disruptions primarily affecting routes near Florida and the Caribbean.
American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) reported fewer than 10 flight diversions, while a JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) flight from Fort Lauderdale to San Juan was forced to return to its origin. FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) cargo operations also faced route adjustments, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/16/dozens-of-flights-diverted-delayed-after-faa-warned-of-spacex-rocket-debris-.html?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> CNBC, citing data from FlightAware.
&#8220;We briefly slowed and diverted aircraft around the area where space vehicle debris was falling,&#8221; an FAA spokesperson said, confirming no injuries or property damage were reported.

Why It Matters: The test flight, which launched at 5:37 p.m. ET, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43046722/starship-explodes-during-flight-test-elon-musk-says-success-is-uncertain-but-entertainment-is-guaranteed">initially showed promise</a> as the Super Heavy booster, powered by 33 Raptor engines generating 16 million pounds of thrust, successfully separated. However, telemetry froze at 8 minutes and 27 seconds into the flight.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk maintained an optimistic stance, posting on X: &#8220;Success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed!&#8221; The flight was particularly significant as it tested various heat shield improvements, including metallic tiles and active cooling systems, crucial for SpaceX&#8217;s ambitious plans for Mars missions.

U.S. Global Investors Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GROW#NASDAQ">GROW</a>) <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/01/13/3008669/0/en/U-S-Global-Investors-Highlights-Positive-2024-Results-for-Its-Thematic-Smart-Beta-2-0-ETFs.html">celebrated </a>a banner year in 2024 with its flagship ETFs witnessing solid returns.
The standout performer? The U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>) soared 33.21% higher, spurred by an uptick in travel demand, effective capacity management and lower fuel prices. These drivers helped lift the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aviation">broader aviation sector</a> fly high.
The Transportation Security Administration&nbsp;(TSA) reportedly screened more than 900 million passengers, up 5% compared to 2023.
United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) was the biggest winner, with its stock soaring 135% on-year in 2024.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Global Jets ETF: An Investment to Consider?</h1>
The U.S. Global Jets ETF aims to replicate the performance of the U.S. Global Jets Index through a portfolio of 51 securities. With an asset base of $1.07 billion, the fund has an expense ratio of 0.60%, which can be a cost-effective investment choice. In addition, this fund allocates almost half of its holdings to large-cap stocks, and top holdings include American Airlines Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>),&nbsp;Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) and United Airlines.
Moreover, this pure-play aviation holds stocks of both domestic and international companies with a range of market capitalization.&nbsp;This spreads out the risk of volatility in a particular geographic region.
Nonetheless, a point to be noted here is that the fund features a beta of 1.43, which means it is at slightly higher risk to be more volatile than the market.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Other U.S. Global ETFs that Contributed to a Stellar Year</h1>
The U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOAU#NYSE">GOAU</a>) gained an impressive 13.80%. This performance mirrored gold's sharp rise, as the metal hit an all-time high of $2,787 per ounce on Oct. 30, 2024.
A modest 2.23% gains closed the year for the U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEA#NYSE">SEA</a>). However, a $2.10-per-share dividend was the highlight of the year for this ETF, braving the headwinds that the cargo shipping industry faced, including geopolitical instability and labor disputes.
Adding to its suite of thematic ETFs, U.S. Global Investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42772220/us-global-launches-technology-and-aerospace-defense-etf-why-its-allocation-makes-sense">launched </a>the U.S. Global Technology and Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAR#NYSE">WAR</a>) on Dec. 30, 2024. This ETF has substantial exposure to data centers, homeland protection, aerospace and defense, cybersecurity and semiconductor, key areas of interest in today&#8217;s world.

American Airlines Gr Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Wall Street faced heavy selling pressure in its first trading session after former President Jimmy Carter's funeral, as a series of economic developments rattled interest rate and energy markets, sparking heightened <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">risk aversion among investors.</a>
The U.S. economy added 256,000 jobs in December, far exceeding expectations of a slowdown to 160,000. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, defying forecasts that had anticipated it to remain at 4.2%.
This red-hot labor market data spurred traders to recalibrate their interest-rate projections. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, expectations for a rate cut have been postponed even further, with markets now fully pricing in a reduction only by September 2025.
Adding to market turmoil, oil prices — as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) — surged more than 3% to $76 per barrel after the Biden administration imposed stricter sanctions on Russian oil exports. These measures targeted major Russian oil companies, shadow fleet tankers and opaque trading networks, intensifying pressure on Moscow&#8217;s energy revenues.
Rising interest rate concerns and inflation uncertainty weighed heavily on equities. The latest University of Michigan consumer survey showed five-year inflation expectations rise to 3.3%, the highest since June 2008.
The S&amp;P 500 dropped nearly 2%, hovering around the 5,800-point level, fully erasing gains made since the election. 
Technology and small-cap stocks bore the brunt of the sell-off, with sharper declines across both sectors.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) climbed to 109.70, marking its highest level since November 2022. The greenback is on track to notch its sixth consecutive weekly gain and has risen in 14 of the past 15 weeks, underscoring its dominance as a safe haven amid market turbulence.
Treasury yields climbed further as fixed-income investors braced for the possibility of persistent inflation. The 10-year Treasury yield rose seven basis points to 4.76%, nearing its late October 2023 highs.
The 30-year Treasury yield briefly touched the 5% mark, a level last seen in October 2023 and previously in August 2007.
Gold prices offered a haven for risk-averse investors, climbing 0.9% as geopolitical uncertainties mounted.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) saw some dip-buying activity, up by 1.2%, snapping a three-day losing streak during which it shed 10% of its value.

Shares of airline stocks are trading higher in sympathy with Delta, which rose after reporting strong Q4 financial results.

A destructive wildfire continues to rage through the Pacific Palisades section of Los Angeles on Wednesday, forcing more than 30,000 people to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42855962/los-angeles-ventura-counties-brace-for-windstorm-as-bad-as-it-gets-for-fire-weather">evacuate the area. </a>
The Details: Before the fire started, the National Weather Service issued an alert for extreme fire conditions, including wind gusts of between 50 and 80 miles per hour, for Los Angeles County from Tuesday through Thursday.  
From Tuesday morning to Wednesday morning, the fire burned more than 3,000 acres, according to Reuters. 
The Pacific Palisades fire, 0% contained, grew to encompass more than 4.5 square miles Wednesday morning, <a href="https://weather.com/news/weather/news/2025-01-07-los-angeles-palisades-fire-santa-ana-wind-california">according</a> to the Weather Channel.

"This is pretty much the worst possible scenario for a firefight," David Ortiz of the Los Angeles Fire Department told KTLA-TV.

Wildfire Rips Through LA's Pacific Palisades Neighborhood Destroying Homes: 3,000 Acres Burned As 30,000 Residents Evacuate

Southern California is bracing for another <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39583371/july-fourth-heat-california-faces-blackout-and-fire-risks-this-week-during-triple-digit-temperat">severe weather event</a> as the National Weather Service says an incoming windstorm could lead to wildfires.
The Forecast: The windstorm will hit most of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, according to an NWS <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nwslosangeles/p/DEghe26MjNM/">post</a> on Monday night labeling the weather as an &#8220;extreme risk.&#8221; The agency anticipates 50 to 80 mile-per-hour wind gusts with increased exposure in mountainous regions. 
The warning spans Tuesday to Thursday.
&#8220;Strong winds are coming. This is a Particularly Dangerous Situation &#8211; in other words, this is about as bad as it gets in terms of fire weather,&#8221; the post read. &#8220;Stay aware of your surroundings. Be ready to evacuate, especially if in a high fire risk area. Be careful with fire sources.&#8221;
A <a href="https://x.com/NWSLosAngeles/status/1876408016930803836">post</a> on X said the wind could lead to downed trees, many power outages and significant airport delays at LAX.
Why it Matters: San Diego Gas and Energy, a subsidiary of Sempra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRE#NYSE">SRE</a>), <a href="https://www.sdge.com/psps-dashboard">said</a> it could turn off power for up to 65,000 customers in anticipation of the storm. Edison International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EIX#NYSE">EIX</a>) also services the region and could face significant exposure.
Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) and United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) are the <a href="https://www.lawa.org/-/media/lawa-web/statistics/market-share-statistics/aircarrier-2023.ashx">largest</a> airlines with flights out of LAX. All three companies could face operations disruptions in the coming days.
The state has faced severe wildfires and extreme weather events in recent years which is widely attributed to the effects of climate change.

What To Know: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/12/42705878/airline-stocks-outperform-tech-in-2024-holiday-travel-expected-to-see-records-this-year">Airlines</a> and other travel-related stocks moved higher on Monday after Transportation Security Administration (TSA) traveler screening data showed record travel figures for the end of 2024.
Near the end of last week, TSA <a href="https://x.com/TSA/status/1875202022737412371">posted</a> on X that it screened almost 39 million individuals from Dec. 19 through Jan. 2, marking its &#8220;busiest end of year travel period ever.&#8221; For all of 2024, TSA said officers screened a record 904 million people at airport checkpoints across the nation.

The increase in TSA screenings indicates strong demand for air travel during the holiday season, which may boost ticket sales and revenue for airlines. Additionally, the high number of passengers highlights the resilience of the travel industry, suggesting continued post-pandemic growth.
Investors won&#8217;t have to wait long to get holiday travel data from the airlines. Notably, Delta is expected to release 2024 fourth-quarter and fiscal-year earnings at the end of the week. Analysts expect quarterly earnings per share of $1.76 and revenue of $14.19 billion, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. Several other airlines are scheduled to report earnings in the coming weeks.
