DON'T BUY

He can't recommend the airlines now. Fuel costs are too high.

HOLD

He prefers Delta, but he likes airlines, a business which is in flux. AAL shares are not expensive.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Travel industry recovering after Covid-19 pandemic.
Sales stronger than the past few years.
Would wait to buy shares in October.
Seasonality - not a great time to buy shares.

COMMENT

AA issued profit expectations that are lower than the street's

Not worried, because AA actually increased their estimates last month. The problem is that street's estimates got ahead of itself.

DON'T BUY

It's losing money, so no. Delta is the best in this group.

PARTIAL BUY

Last Thursday, AA forecast they'll return to 93% of pre-Covid capacity this quarter with total revenue up 6-8% compared to 2019--better than pre-Covid. Won't say when they will return to profitability. Are cleaning up the balance sheet and spending to increase capacity. He prefers Delta and United, but likes AA.

DON'T BUY

He's never owned an airline in his career. Way too cyclical, capital intensive. When they lose, they lose big. All are in worse shape than before the pandemic. They've had to issue a ton of high-cost debt and more shares. Who knows what will happen with travel? Long-term chart has been a disaster. A trade at best.

DON'T BUY

Airlines traditionally not a good investment (require a lot of capital and don't return much equity). Would not recommend as a long term investment. Don't buy.

BUY

Bank of America reports there's an 8% increase in travel vs. 2019 (not 2020 during Covid). This trend will benefit American Airlines and Delta (his favourite airline), especially when international travel returns. True, shares have run up, but he feels there's still plenty of runway left.

DON'T BUY

It's moved up too much and had to do an equity raise. Doesn't know how much money they're losing. Buy Boeing instead.

DON'T BUY

An $11 stock, but he prefers LUV because it doesn't lose money and has a better long-term outlook.

DON'T BUY

It's a roll of the dice. Washington is bailing out the airlines, so they will survive. But they have a huge pile of debt. A really tough call. He's never owned an airline. Too risky.

DON'T BUY

It is very cheap at approximately 6 times but all airlines trade at cheap multiples. She shies away from airlines. AA has suffered from the 737-Max issue with 24 of their own. Fuel is always the overriding factor. This airline has added uncertainty because of the MAX issue as well as labour issues.

DON'T BUY

He would not buy airlines now. There is price competition that makes things tough. It has become very volatile. He would prefer others if you had to be in airlines.

DON'T BUY

WJA-T vs. AAL-Q. On AAL-Q, the industry has consolidated so the airlines have pricing power. 10 years ago all these airlines were losing money. There are ultra low cost carriers coming in and undercutting the others and there is a bit of a price war going on. This is not happening in Canada. He would stay out of the US. WJA-T is safer than AC-T.
