"The airline reported $13.70 billion in revenue, narrowly exceeding the $13.63 billion consensus estimate, and posted an adjusted loss of just $0.17 per share versus expectations for a $0.28 loss. While the bottom line remained negative, the 39 basis-point improvement in net income versus the year-ago quarterand a 69.66% surge in operating income to $151 million was enough to get Wall Street's attention."
"AAL's revenue beat was driven by strength in higher-margin segments. Premium unit revenue outperformed main cabin, and the airline saw a 7% increase in AAdvantage active accounts alongside a 9% year-over-year increase in co-branded credit card spending. These metrics matter: loyalty members generate higher yields and currently account for approximately 77% of premium revenue, a structural advantage as business travel stabilizes."
American Airlines posted Q3 revenue of $13.70 billion and an adjusted loss of $0.17 per share, exceeding consensus estimates and narrowing the year-over-year loss. Operating income rose 69.66% to $151 million, and net loss improved to $114 million from $149 million a year earlier. Management signaled sequential domestic unit revenue improvement and provided stronger forward guidance, projecting Q4 EPS of $0.45–$0.75 and full-year free cash flow above $1 billion. Revenue strength came from higher-margin premium segments, growth in AAdvantage accounts and co-branded card spending, and progress in restoring indirect channel revenue share.
