How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 6.2x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: AAL is currently trading at $12.11, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $12.26 to $13.39. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 9.2) compared to its historical average (6.2). At these levels, the market is pricing in 13.8% annual earnings growth.

Technical Outlook: Technically, AAL is in a strong downtrend. Immediate support is located at $11.63, while resistance sits at $12.81. Short-term momentum is weak, with the stock down 3.9% recently.

Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 53/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge, with only partial signs of a stabilized entry point. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $15.71 (+29.7%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
