Analysis
American Airlines Group (AAL) currently trades at $15.06, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $7.04, implying the stock looks roughly 53.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 43/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, American Airlines Group generated revenue of $56.0B at a net margin of 0.4%. Revenue grew 10.8% year over year. Net debt stands at $34.3B. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 48.6. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $5.02 (bear case) to $8.82 (bull case); at $15.06, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 9% below its 52-week high and 49% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 29% fair-value upside, at -53%, AAL screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 11 models by family
Widest divergence: Dividend Discount ($78.36) versus Earnings-Based ($0.9400). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (70).
