American Airlines trims 2026 earnings outlook as jet fuel costs surge
American Airlines cut its 2026 earnings outlook to a possible adjusted loss of 40 cents per share up to $1.10, down from January’s forecast, as jet-fuel costs surge. In Q1, revenue was $13.91 billion (up 10.8% year over year) and adjusted loss was $0.40 per share on a GAAP net loss of $382 million, with margins pressured by higher fuel costs and capacity discipline.
