Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 57 days.
The thesis — published October 9, 2025
AAL is framed as a short-term trade because the price recently pushed higher with lots more people buying than usual. Short-term signals look supportive, and the recent average price is improving, even though the company's core finances remain weak. Delta's strong Q3 update helped investor mood before AAL's own Q3 webcast and estimates. Idea is to start near the low end of the range and keep risk tight given fuel and economy worries.

- Price upswing with lots more buyers than usual, showing strength now
- Delta's strong results improved the mood for airline stocks this week
