This Is What Whales Are Betting On American Airlines Group

The top 10 major airports in the U.S. are experiencing a decline in weekly arrivals through the gates.
What Happened: The airports include JFK, LAX, ORD, MIA, SFO and more, as the 7-day moving average of arrivals declined 5% YoY last week, according to a post on social media platform X by The Kobeissi Letter on Monday.

"This reflects a decline in tourism, business travel, and government travel. Airport arrival growth has been in a downtrend since the end of January." The post said.
The post also shared how the number of passengers arriving in the States from Europe has also declined by over 18% when compared to last year, while arrivals from Mexico and Canada have experienced a 19% and 7% decline, respectively. 
Why It Matters: The data indicates that it has been a difficult period for the aviation industry at large, with several airlines having their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/45020724/airlines-face-significant-pressure-analysts-adjust-expectations-after-q1-results">price targets cut</a> by experts due to uncertainty with the tariffs imposed by the Trump regime.

American Airlines Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NYSE">AAL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.99% since its last report.

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for American Airlines Group has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing American Airlines Group'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, American Airlines Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.42%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Looking Into American Airlines Group's Recent Short Interest

Bernstein Maintains Outperform on American Airlines Group, Raises Price Target to $15

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reportedly considering reducing the number of flights operating out of New Jersey's Newark Airport.
What Happened: The agency is set to meet with officials from several U.S. airlines to discuss scaling back flights out of Newark following disruptions caused by equipment malfunctions as well as staff shortages, CNBC reported <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/11/newark-airport-flight-cuts-ahead-after-wee.html">on</a> Sunday.
"What you see in Newark is going to happen in other places across the country. It needs to be fixed," U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, according to the report.
Equipment outages caused air traffic controllers to lose communication as well as flight monitoring capabilities for over 90 seconds last month. There were also delays to over 1,000 flights due to equipment failures, the report suggests. The event also led to several staff members going on leave.
Questions have been raised over the aging air traffic infrastructure, which could reportedly cost over $31 billion to revamp, as well as more hiring of air traffic controllers, the report said.
"In ideal weather, with full staffing and with perfectly functioning technology, the FAA tells us that the airport (Newark) can only handle 77 flights per hour. And yet, the FAA regularly approves schedules of 80+ flights per hour almost every day between 3:00 pm and 8:00 p.m.," United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) CEO Scott Kirby told employees in a note, according to the report.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as the U.S. aviation industry is dealing with a difficult quarter, as analysts have<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/45020724/airlines-face-significant-pressure-analysts-adjust-expectations-after-q1-results"> reset price targets </a>for several U.S. airlines following quarterly results.
American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) recently announced it was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44982328/american-airlines-flies-into-uncertainty-q1-revenue-miss-2025-outlook-pulled-but-debt-plan-on-track?_gl=1&#x2A;1yry3sk&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;NTM5OTQ2NTE5LjE3NDcwMjQyNzY.&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;R1MyLjEuczE3NDcwMzM3NzAkbzIkZzEkdDE3NDcwMzM3NzAkajAkbDAkaDA.&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;czE3NDcwMzM1MzkkbzMkZzEkdDE3NDcwMzQyNzAkajAkbDAkaDA.">pulling its 2025 outlook </a>as the airline's operating revenue declined slightly to $12.55 billion, a 0.15% YoY decline.

Shares of major U.S. airlines rose Monday as oil prices fell following OPEC+'s decision to ramp up production. American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) surged 3.56% to $10.94, Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) gained 3.12% to $45.67, and United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) rose 2.2% to $75.70.
What To Know: The rally comes after WTI crude futures <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">dropped nearly 2%</a>, settling just below $57 per barrel. The decline was triggered by OPEC+'s announcement that it will increase oil production by 411,000 barrels per day in June, adding to similar hikes in April and May.
Altogether, the bloc has reversed nearly half of the voluntary cuts made since 2022, aiming to discipline overproducing members like Iraq and Kazakhstan and reclaim market share.

Lower oil prices are a major tailwind for airlines, which count jet fuel—closely tied to crude prices—as one of their largest operating expenses. Falling fuel costs can significantly improve profit margins, especially for carriers operating on thin margins like American.
With oil now trading well below the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">$65 per barrel</a> threshold, investors on Monday are likely betting that airlines will benefit disproportionately from the energy market shift—explaining Monday's broad gains across the sector.

Spotlight on American Airlines Group: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) shares continue to trend higher on Thursday. The stock has been rallying after reaching an important support level.
The move may continue. This is why we have made it our Stock of the Day.
There are a lot of old expressions and sayings on Wall Street. Some of them may be outdated, but some are not. One of these is "markets have memories."
In the stock market, certain price levels have more importance than others. These are called support and resistance levels.
If a stock is trending lower, it's because there is more supply than demand. There are more shares for sale than there are to be bought. Traders who wish to get their sell orders executed are forced to push the price lower to get buyers interested.
This makes the stock trend lower.

At a support level, the dynamic changes. There is enough demand to absorb all of the supply. This is why downtrends end at these levels.
If a stock is headed higher, it's because there is more demand than supply. There are more shares to be bought than there are for sale. Traders who want to buy are forced to pay premiums and outbid other buyers.
This pushes the stock higher.
When the shares reach resistance, the dynamic changes. There is enough supply to fill all of the demand. Market rallies end at resistance levels.
Market memory refers to the fact that these important price levels can retain their importance for a long period of time. This can be seen on the chart of American Airlines.
When the stock crashed during the COVID-19 pandemic meltdown, it found support around $8.80. Four years later, in July 2024, it found support at this important level again.
Now the stock appears to &#8220;remember&#8221; this level. It has found support at it again.
The last two times it reached $8.80 were each good buying opportunities. &nbsp;Now could be one as well.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Duffy Says Trump Administration Will Release Its Plan Next Week On How To Fix Air Traffic Infrastructure

JetBlue Airways Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) is reportedly in talks with United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) over a partnership between the two companies.
What Happened: The New York-based airline is seeking partnerships with other airlines in the U.S. after talks of an alliance with American Airlines Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) fell through in 2023. However, the partnership with United will be different, sources told Reuters on Wednesday.
Sources in the report suggest the partnership will focus on increased connectivity as well as more opportunities for customers to utilize frequent flier miles, but won't coordinate on schedules and pricing.
Interestingly, JetBlue President Marty St. George shared with investors that the airline was negotiating partnerships with other airlines during the company's earnings call.
"We are looking at and we're talking to multiple airlines about domestic partnerships. I think we're getting very close to making announcement, expect to make the announcement this quarter," St. George said.
Why It Matters: News of the possible negotiations comes in as JetBlue has been battling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45070298/jetblue-warns-of-weak-travel-demand-pulls-2025-outlook">a difficult quarter</a>, with the airline sharing at the earnings call that its revenue was down 3.1% YoY and capacity fell 4.3% compared to the last quarter.
"We expect softened demand for off-peak travel to continue into the second quarter, where the booking curve is more exposed to macro uncertainty and deteriorating consumer confidence," St. George said in the call.
JetBlue was<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/01/42791291/jetblue-fined-2-million-for-chronic-flight-delays-delta-united-rank-among-most-on-time-airlines"> fined $2 million </a>earlier this year by the U.S. Government's Department of Transportation (DOT) for multiple "chronically delayed flights."
The company was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44671680/which-us-airline-is-facing-the-strongest-industry-tailwinds">also exploring a possible acquisition </a>of budget air travel company Spirit Airlines (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVEQ#OTC">SAVEQ</a>), but talks fell through between the two companies.
Price Action: JBLU is currently trading at $4.18 on the NASDAQ, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

JetBlue In Talks With United Airlines Over Possible Partnership: Report

A rare technical signal is drawing attention on Wall Street, pointing to possible gains for U.S. stocks even as tariff concerns from major <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45027002/benzinga-bulls-and-bears-netflix-novavax-intel-and-the-market-begins-to-bounce-back" rel="noreferrer noopener">companies raise risks for the economy</a>.
According to &nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;– as tracked by the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust, (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) has gained over 5% in the past five trading sessions, driven by strong buying momentum across sectors. Tesla, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&nbsp;stock surged 10% to $285.50 Friday afternoon, heading to its best weekly performance of 2025 with a 24% gain.
Particularly, over the last three trading days, more than 70% of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) posted daily gains — a clear sign of widespread market participation.

The last time a similarly strong buying streak extended to four consecutive days was during the rebound of April 2020, following the pandemic-driven crash.
Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group LLC, highlighted the significance of this rare &#8220;breadth thrust,&#8221; noting that the S&amp;P 500 finished higher one year later in 27 of the past 28 similar instances.
A breadth thrust occurs when a large percentage of stocks rally together over several sessions, indicating broad-based investor enthusiasm rather than isolated leadership among a few mega-cap names. Historically, such patterns have preceded the start of major bull markets.
Detrick <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/ryandetrick/status/1915749234411794697?s=46&amp;t=ULQgdjrI963eH_sS6HFNXw" rel="noreferrer noopener">posted </a>on X, previously called the Twitter, &#8220;Yet another rare and potentially bullish trigger from this week.&#8221;

On the contrary, leaders from firms, including 3M Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) CEO William Brown, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44921668/3m-stock-surges-after-q1-beat-as-2025-outlook-flags-tariff-pressure" rel="noreferrer noopener">emphasized strategic flexibility </a>to maintain international trade ties, while others, like Steel Dynamics&#8217; Mark Millett, expressed support for certain tariffs, The Wall Street Journal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/company-earnings-tariffs-outlooks-2025-2ff68cd7" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Despite macroeconomic headwinds, the breadth thrust suggests underlying resilience in U.S. equities.

Wall Street Bets On Bulls, Not Tariffs, As Rare 'Breadth Thrust' Lifts Stocks

American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>), Alaska Air Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) and Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) reported their quarterly results broadly in-line with the tone set by Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) and United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), according to JPMorgan.
The Airlines Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58485285ee7bf6000154d235/jamie-baker">Analyst Jamie Baker</a> maintained ratings, while cutting price targets.
<ul>
<li>American Airlines: Overweight, price target reduced from $26 to $19</li>
<li>Alaska Air Group: Overweight, price target cut from $89 to $73</li>
<li>Southwest Airlines: Underweight, price target trimmed from $30 to $23</li>
</ul>
"Low-end domestic demand is under significant pressure, premium and international remain the bright spots for now, and loyalty returns continue to help cushion the aggregate impact to earnings," Baker said in a note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
American: The company reported adjusted loss of 59 cents per share, slightly better than consensus of 69 cents per share, the analyst stated. "Passenger revenue was roughly flat, on capacity down 1pt YoY," he added. While American Airlines continue to make progress in recapturing its historical share of indirect revenue by yearend, its margin performance has been flat, Baker said.
Alaska Air Group: The company's adjusted loss came in at 77 cents per share, worse than its January guidance of between 70 and 50 cents per share, the analyst stated. "Management cited a 3pt top-line disruption from demand softness during the quarter, which (all things being equal) would have placed the company comfortably ahead of its guidance," he wrote.
Southwest: The company reported an adjusted loss of 13 cents per share. That&#8217;s better than the consensus of 18 cents per share. Total EBIT minus cost of initiatives implies an EBIT loss of $100 million — $447 million worse than in 2024, Baker said.
Price Action: At the time of publication on Friday, shares of:
<ul>
<li>American Airlines had risen by 0.30% to $9.64</li>
<li>Alaska Air had risen by 1.13% to $41.98</li>
<li>Southwest Airlines had declined by 0.95% to $26.19</li>
