Read MoreHide Full Article
In its upcoming report, American Airlines (AAL - Free Report) is predicted by Wall Street analysts to post quarterly earnings of $0.38 per share, reflecting a decline of 55.8% compared to the same period last year. Revenues are forecasted to be $14.07 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 3%.
The current level reflects a downward revision of 29.4% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter over the past 30 days. This demonstrates how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reappraised their initial projections over this period.
