American Airlines stock price steadies in premarket after 7% drop on earnings, storm hit
American Airlines traded near $13.55 in premarket Wednesday after a 7% drop Tuesday, triggered by a quarterly profit miss and over 9,000 cancellations from Winter Storm Fern. CFO Devon May called the storm’s impact the worst in company history. The airline expects a first-quarter adjusted loss and lower flying capacity. Investors await the April 23 earnings report for updates on recovery and cost pressures.
