So yes, things are unpredictable and weird fluctuations are happening. But if you own American Airlines ($AAL) stock remain calm.
Should you be worried? No. Not at all.

3 Reasons Why You Don’t Need To Worry About Your American Airlines ($AAL) Stock
1. They Are Doing Fine Financially, And Travel Is Coming Back
American Airlines is a real company, a real stock.
“For example, American Airlines presented a table showing that its traffic numbers had increased to 129,000 per day by mid-June. This is up from 31,000 per day in April. No other airline is providing this information.
Moreover, American said its load factor is now up to 62% by June 8. The company is also planning to fly 55% of its total U.S. schedule in July compared to last year.
It looks like it can afford this. For example, assuming $20 million per day over the next six months would cost $3.6 billion to $4 billion overall. Even if the average rate was $30 million per day over six months, it would cost $5.5 billion. But American Airlines says it has three ways to cover that.
First, its cash liquidity will be $6.25 billion by June 30. Second, it expects to receive a government CARES Act loan of $4.75 billion, for a total of $11 billion by the end of Q2. Third, American Airlines showed in the statement that it has over $11.1 billion in unencumbered assets that become collateral for additional loans.
In other words, the company does not seem to be in danger of going bankrupt.” – Source
2. “Explore America Bill”
“If approved, the “Explore America” Tax Credit would dangle up to $4,000 in front of Americans for vacation expenses spent in the U.S. at hotels, theme parks, restaurants and other tourism-related businesses through the end of 2021. The credit would cover up to 50% of a household’s total vacation expenses, up to a maximum of four grand.” – Forbes
That’s right, Trump has proposed a stimulus package that will give $4,000 to each American ONLY to be spent on travel. If this were to get passed cruise lines and air lines share values would explode.
3. Trust The Super Cycle
Everything else aside, the analytics are in favor of American Airlines stock heading upwards.
Definitely hold shares. American Airlines should be trading at $25+ by mid-July.
