American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL) stock traded lower Thursday as investors locked in profits after the stock's recent rally, while broader weakness across airline and cyclical stocks added pressure.

American Airlines said it is maintaining its recently reduced 2026 profit outlook despite rising fuel prices, as strong premium, corporate and leisure travel demand continues to support revenue growth.
