Analysts positive on American Airlines, United Continental, Delta and Alaska
American Airlines (+0.2%) made a slight gain in a day of mixed trading for North and South American airline stocks on Friday (10-Dec-2010). American’s rise came following comments from Barclays the day before that the carrier has provided “encouraging” 4Q2010 mainline RASM guidance, in excess of what it had been expecting. AMR expects 4Q2010 mainline RASM to rise around 7% year-on-year, compared with Barclay’s estimate of 4.8%.
