<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing American Airlines Gr's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, American Airlines Gr's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.08%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Peering Into American Airlines Gr's Recent Short Interest

American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) is taking aim at &#8220;gate lice&#8221; &#8211; an industry term for passengers who crowd gates before their boarding group is called &#8211; with new technology being rolled out to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42076876/what-could-trumps-new-dot-pick-mean-for-evs-airlines-railroads">more than 100 U.S. airports during the holiday season</a>.
What Happened: The system, which automatically rejects boarding passes from passengers attempting to board ahead of their assigned group, comes as a welcome relief to airline staff who have long struggled with boarding zone violations.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve heard from our customers that the ability to board with their assigned group is important,&#8221; said Julie Rath, Senior Vice President of Airport Operations, Reservations and Service Recovery at American Airlines. &#8220;The initial positive response from customers and team members has exceeded our expectations.&#8221;
The technology triggers an audible alert if passengers try to board early, allowing gate agents to redirect them to wait for their proper boarding group. 
Following successful trials at airports in Albuquerque, Washington D.C., and Tucson, the expansion will include major facilities such as Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Why It Matters: Flight attendants and gate staff have long identified premature boarding attempts as a significant source of frustration, leading to the informal &#8220;gate lice&#8221; nickname for chronic offenders. The new system aims to eliminate such disruptions while preserving boarding privileges tied to &#8220;AAdvantage&#8221; status and fare class.
The software platform also provides gate agents with real-time data on boarding group sizes and incoming flight connections, consolidating multiple applications into a single interface. For passengers traveling with companions in earlier boarding groups, agents can override the system with a single click.
American Airlines, which operates thousands of daily flights to more than 350 destinations across 60+ countries, plans to extend the technology to its hub airports in the coming months.
Price Action: American Airlines&#8217; stock closed at $14.20 on Tuesday, down 1.80% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock edged up 0.21%. Year-to-date, the stock has gained 5.65%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

American Airlines Targets 'Gate Lice' With New Boarding Tech At 100+ Airports This Holiday Season

President-elect Donald Trump announced former Congressman Sean Duffy to oversee the Department of Transportation (DOT) on Monday. 
Here's a look at how the latest Trump selection could affect companies in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42053292/trump-picks-sean-duffy-as-next-transportation-secretary-says-he-will-usher-in-the-golden-age-of-travel">the transportation sector. </a>
The Details: Duffy, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019, most recently worked as Fox News Media host. He left the position on Monday, according <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/us/politics/sean-duffy-trump-transportation-dot.html">to</a> the New York Times.
Duffy is the second Fox News employee to be nominated by Trump for a cabinet position. Last week, Trump picked Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41952962/trumps-surprise-defense-secretary-pick-pete-hegseth-jolts-wall-street">lack of government experience</a>.
In 1997, he was a cast member on MTV's "The Real World: Boston.&#8221;
As Transportation Secretary, Duffy would be in charge of major federal agencies, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

"He will prioritize Excellence, Competence, Competitiveness and Beauty when rebuilding America's highways, tunnels, bridges and airports. He will ensure our ports and dams serve our Economy without compromising our National Security, and he will make our skies safe again by eliminating DEI for pilots and air traffic controllers," Trump said in his announcement.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Air Travel</h3>
If approved by the Senate, Duffy can be expected to address ongoing aviation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/11/42014904/boeing-begins-layoffs-is-the-737-max-recovery-enough-to-lift-ba-stock">safety issues</a>. This could include matters relating to Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and air traffic control challenges. As part of Trump's focus on efficiency, Duffy could potentially work to enhance safety measures while streamlining regulations. 
Major airline companies like Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and American Airlines Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) may be affected by potential policy and regulatory changes, as well. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Overall Negative For EV Industry&#8217;</h3>
The DOT also oversees the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) which is expected to focus on regulatory frameworks for electric vehicles and autonomous driving technologies in the near term.  The NHTSA is likely to establish guidelines for emerging technologies like Tesla, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) autonomous driving software. 
Recent reports suggest Trump has plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42046316/trump-set-to-hand-musk-golden-path-for-tesla-after-reversing-course-on-autonomous-vehicle-ban">ease restrictions</a> on self-driving vehicles, which could help companies like Tesla expand FSD and bring robotaxis to the market.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk campaigned heavily for Trump and provided millions to his campaign coffers ahead of Election Day.
At the same time, it seems likely that the incoming Trump administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41781921/what-does-trumps-victory-mean-for-ev-giant-tesla-and-the-big-3-automakers">will eliminate </a>or reduce many of the EV purchase incentives included in the Biden administration&#8217;s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). 
Wedbush analysts said that Tesla&#8217;s rivals, U.S.-based EV startups like Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) and Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>), could face a major set-back if Trump rolls back current EV tax incentives and rebates, as reports suggest. 
"We believe a Trump presidency would be an overall negative for the EV industry as likely the EV rebates/tax incentives get pulled," Wedbush analysts wrote.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Railroads</h3>
If Duffy is confirmed, he will also oversee the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), which is responsible for safety measures across the rail network. He may address safety concerns following incidents like the East Palestine <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38240139/norfolk-southern-to-pay-600m-in-ohio-train-derailment-lawsuit">derailment in 2023</a>.
Duffy will also manage billions in federal grants aimed at improving rail infrastructure and upgrading aging rail systems to enhance efficiency and safety. Railroad companies including CSX Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>), Norfolk Southern Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>) and Union Pacific Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>) may benefit from such improvement projects. 
Investors can also monitor the broader transportation sector through ETFs which track its performance including the iShares Trust iShares U.S. Transportation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYT#BATS">IYT</a>) and the First Trust Nasdaq Transportation ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXR#NASDAQ">FTXR</a>).

American Airlines Group Inc. and JetBlue Airways Corp. still want to team up in the Northeastern US after an earlier pact was scuttled by US courts.
American Chief Executive Officer Robert Isom and JetBlue President Marty St. George on Tuesday each hinted that a new partnership was still possible, even after a federal appeals court last week <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-08/american-jetblue-alliance-breakup-upheld-by-appeals-court">upheld</a> an earlier finding that their Northeast Alliance violated antitrust laws and had to be dismantled.

The Details: Crude oil prices saw their sharpest one-day drop since 2022 on Monday. Oil futures for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell by 6%, settling near $67 per barrel. This drop followed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567809/oil-etfs-plunge-premarket-after-israels-strikes-on-iran">Israeli airstrikes in Iran</a> that focused on military targets and avoided oil infrastructure, reducing fears of immediate supply disruptions.
Oil markets had initially reacted to Middle East tensions earlier in the month, with concerns that strikes on Iranian oil facilities could disrupt supply. However, the limited scope of these recent airstrikes led analysts to expect oil prices to remain under pressure. 
Analysts noted that if OPEC+ proceeds with plans to increase supply while demand, particularly from China, continues to decrease, prices could trend lower into 2025.
China's oil demand has slowed since May, with structural changes in its energy sector and a higher share of new electric vehicle registrations contributing to reduced oil consumption.
Lower oil prices are generally bullish for airlines given that oil is one of the biggest expenses for airline companies. All of the aforementioned stocks gained between 1% and 4% on Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Airline Stocks Climb As Oil Prices Drop: What's Going On?

RYAAY

SKYW

Shares of airline stocks are trading higher amid a drop in the price of oil, which can help decrease costs.

Investor sentiment turned optimistic towards risk assets early this week as plummeting oil prices, driven by Israel's decision not to target Iran's crude facilities during weekend attacks, eased concerns over an escalated Middle Eastern conflict and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41575181/crude-oil-faces-steepest-one-day-drop-in-over-two-years-energy-stocks-plunge-prices">potential global economic disruptions.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.3%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 mirrored this performance and the Dow added 0.6%.
Economically sensitive small-cap stocks saw stronger gains, with the Russell 2000 soaring 1.5% after a stretch of losses in six of the last seven sessions.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude – tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) – dropped over 5% in midday New York trading, heading for its sharpest one-day decline since July 2022. Natural gas prices also plunged, with Henry Hub prices falling more than 9%, poised for their steepest single-session loss since mid-January.
U.S. energy stocks weakened, with the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) standing as the sole sector in the red on Monday.
Despite the significant drop in energy prices, Treasury yields continued to rise, potentially tempering the stock market&#8217;s bullish momentum. Investors remain cautious about further U.S. fiscal policy deterioration as election season approaches. 
Yields on 10-year Treasury bonds rose by 5 basis points to 4.29%, aiming for their highest close since July 11.
Gold prices held steady around $2,745 per ounce, marking no gains since last Tuesday's close.
Sentiment in cryptocurrency markets remained bullish, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) up 1.4% to over $68,000, reaching a one-week high, while Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) jumped 4.5% in its third consecutive session of gains, eyeing the highest levels since June.

An asset is typically considered overbought when the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rsi">RSI is above 70</a>, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Top 3 Industrials Care Stocks That Plunge This Month

The U.S. Justice Department's Antitrust Division and the Department of Transportation announced on Thursday they have opened a broad public inquiry into the state of competition in air travel on topics including previous airline mergers, aircraft manufacturing, airline ticket sales, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40745931/delta-southwest-and-other-airlines-in-hot-waters-with-us-transportation-department-for-unfair-reward">pricing and rewards practices</a>.
The Details: The agencies <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-and-department-transportation-launch-broad-public-inquiry-state">have issued</a> a Request for Information (RFI) and seek the public's input on anticompetitive conduct, consolidation and issues affecting the availability and affordability of air travel options.&nbsp;
"Competition in air travel is a vehicle for better quality, better fares and better choices for Americans," said Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division.
"With this inquiry, we hope to learn more from the businesses and travelers at the center of this essential industry. Their feedback will ensure the Justice Department can continue to build on its historic efforts to protect competition in air travel," Kanter added.&nbsp;

The U.S. Travel Association reacted to the DOJ's public inquiry into competition in air travel, which it sees as politically motivated.&nbsp;
"Today's announcement by the Departments of Transportation and Justice that they will launch ‘broad inquiries' into airline business practices is another in a long line of disappointing political stunts," the U.S. Travel Association said <a href="https://www.ustravel.org/press/us-travel-reacts-doj-dot-inquiry-air-travel-competition">in a statement</a>.
DOJ Cracks Down: Under the Biden administration, the DOJ has cracked down on industry consolidation and mergers and successfully blocked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37455281/jetblue-spirit-airlines-shares-are-moving-monday-whats-going-on">the merger</a> of JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) and Spirit Airlines, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NASDAQ">SAVE</a>) earlier this year.  
Spirit Airlines continues to face financial trouble and a potential bankruptcy after the deal with JetBlue fell through. Earlier this week, it was reported the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/10/41496171/whats-going-on-with-spirit-airlines-stock-wednesday"> airline had resumed</a> preliminary merger discussions with Frontier Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>). The potential merger of the two airlines would likely coincide with Spirit's restructuring of its debt and other liabilities in bankruptcy and could be affected by actions resulting from the DOJ's latest inquiry. 
Last month, the DOT launched an inquiry into whether the loyalty programs of the four largest U.S. airlines have engaged in unfair, deceptive or noncompetitive practices. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sent a letter to American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), United Airlines and Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) requesting records and reports related to the airlines&#8217; loyalty programs, practices and policies.
Federal agencies did allow a merger between Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. and Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40455513/alaska-airlines-hawaiian-airlines-1-9b-merger-gets-doj-green-light-awaits-transportation-department">to be completed</a> in September. However, the DOT required the companies to agree to a set of consumer protections before giving the deal the green light. 
Why It Matters: Other companies in the airline industry may be affected by the joint inquiry announced Thursday, including planemaker Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and parts supplier Spirit Aerosystems Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPR#NYSE">SPR</a>). Investors can monitor the effects on the industry through airline-focused ETFs, including the U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>) and the iShares Trust iShares U.S. Transportation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYT#BATS">IYT</a>).
