The management's decision to reduce capital expenditure materially in 2018 is seen by the analyst as a step to accelerate free cash flow. The deleveraging will cater to investors with longer investment horizon, according to the analyst. The analyst also noted that management is confident of the new revenue management system to be rolled out in the fourth quarter of 2016, which should generate at least $1 billion in new revenue in 2017.
Analysts' Take
Noting that the stock is down 14 percent in the year-to-date period on industry-wide pricing/over-capacity worries, as well as Brexit and terrorism, the analyst believes the stock will perform much better given the anticipated improvement in revenue trends in the second half of 2016 and easier comparisons.
The firm revised its price target for the shares of the company to $49 from $44 based on its revised multiple of nine-times versus the previous eight-times and unchanged 2017 earnings per share, to which it added $2 for the net present value of NOLs. Buckingham Research sees multiple expansion as the company demonstrates that its free cash flows are sustainable.
Buckingham Research maintains its Buy rating on the stock, with a $5 increase to its price target ($44 to $49).
At time of writing, American Airlines was seen down 1.49 percent on the day at $35.82.
