UBS analyst Atul Maheswari raised the firm’s price target on American Airlines (AAL) to $21 from $20 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The setup heading into airline earnings season appears favorable, with Q4 expectations well-calibrated following December pre-releases and government shutdown impacts, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm expects bullish Q1 and FY26 outlooks, supported by rebounding demand, modest Q1 capacity growth, easing jet fuel prices, and easier year-over-year demand comparisons starting in February.
