AMR (American Airlines) Report: Is the Industry a Sinkhole for Investors or does the Company have a Future Outside of Chapter 11?
ISI Publications, July 2008
American Airlines (AMR Corporations) is the world’s largest passenger airline. The airline industry is currently experiencing a crisis with the price of oil at an all-time high. Should you consider investing in the airline industry today – a sector that investor guru, Warren Buffett, absolutely avoids?
During the past four months, AMR’s shares have declined 61%. If oil prices remain at $135 per barrel or higher, the likelihood of AMR seeking Chapter 11 protection increases daily. So is there more to the investment story for AMR than simply a play on the future course for oil prices?
Dr. Fred Lazar discusses AMR’s future and the airline industry in this timely report. Will AMR escape Chapter 11 bankruptcy re-organization and is there anything that can be done to make the company attractive for investors? Is it worth more dead than alive?
