While the metric took a hit in 2020, due to the impact of Covid-19, the reopening of the economy and easing of travel restrictions should help to bolster demand for air travel, helping yields.
So What?
However, we think that the recovery is fully priced into AAL stock. We value AAL at about $20 per share, 25% below the current market price.
