On Thursday, American Airlines reported a narrower Q3 loss of $114 million (-$0.17 per share), surpassing estimates of -$0.27 per share. The airline’s Q3 sales reached $13.69 billion, above projections of $13.62 billion. Additionally, American Airlines raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to between $0.65-$0.95, significantly higher than the expected $0.33 per share.
Ford Motor Company, also reporting on the same day, achieved record Q3 sales of $47.18 billion, exceeding estimates by 10%. The company’s net income increased to $2.4 billion from $1.6 billion, with EPS of $0.45 down from $0.49 the previous year. However, Ford lowered its full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $6-$6.5 billion due to disruptions from a fire at a supplier’s aluminum plant.
As of now, American Airlines stock is down over 20% in 2025, while Ford shares have seen a 30% increase year-to-date. Despite differing performances, both companies are trading below 15 and are considered appealing investments by some analysts.
