Revenue of $10.16 billion was slightly below the $10.18 billion analysts were expecting the company to report. The airline announced the authorization of another $2 billion to its share repurchase program as well as a 10 cent per share quarterly dividend payable February 23. The airline's bottom line benefited from falling oil prices in the past year, which may leave investors less than impressed with the company's narrow earnings beat. TheStreet Ratings team rates AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC (AAL) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance and increase in net income. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally higher debt management risk, weak operating cash flow and poor profit margins."
