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 $10.19, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $10.44 to $12.78. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 3.9) compared to its historical average (6.2). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 14.5% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, AAL is in a strong uptrend. The price is currently testing key support at $10.09. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (45/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $16.03 (+55.6%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
