Today, American Airlines Group Inc. announced its second-quarter 2025 financial results, posting a record quarterly revenue of $14.4 billion.
Despite the record earnings, the figure fell short of Wall Street expectations and signals a slowdown in the airline travel market.
American’s CEO Robert Isom told investors, “American delivered record revenue in an evolving demand environment in the second quarter thanks to the hard work and dedication of our team.”
The company also issued a new guidance update stating, “Based on its current booked revenue, expectations of future demand trends and fuel price, and excluding the impact of special items, the company expects a third-quarter 2025 adjusted loss per diluted share5 to be between ($0.10) and ($0.60). Based on recent booking trends, American expects its full-year adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share5 to be between ($0.20) and $0.80, with a mid-point of $0.30.”
“The company believes the top end of the range is achievable if demand in the domestic market continues to strengthen and only expects to be at the bottom end of the range if there were to be macro weaknesses that are not seen today.”
Moving forward, Isom said, “We remain confident that the actions we have taken over the past several years to refresh our fleet, manage costs and strengthen our balance sheet position us well for the future. The investments we have made toward achieving our revenue potential, including bolstering our network, customer experience and loyalty program, are paying off, and the team remains focused on delivering on our long-term strategy.”
