The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL) Misled Investors Regarding its Distribution Strategy
The complaint alleges that during the class period defendants misrepresented the true state of the Company, namely, that the Company’s sales and distribution strategy was not driving the revenue projected. Instead, it was driving customers away as the strategy and its attested poor execution made it more difficult for customers to access the Company’s services.
The truth emerged after-market on May 28, 2024, when American reported the prompt termination of its Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Vasu S. Raja, along with an abrupt reduction in its short-term guidance. During a conference presentation on May 29, 2024, the Company attributed its lowered guidance to a softness in consumer bookings, a domestic supply and demand imbalance, and a reduction in capacity growth. In pertinent part, Defendants announced that the reduced consumer bookings were significantly due to the changes American made to their sales and distribution strategy, that they did not execute their strategy properly, and that they will now be modifying their strategy in an attempt to recapture the customers their strategy drove away. As a result, Defendants reduced their second quarter fiscal year 2024 projections, notably cutting their projections for the Company’s operating margin by a full percentage point and adjusted earnings per share for the quarter by more than 17%. On this news, the price of American’s common stock declined from a closing market price of $13.44 per share on May 28, 2024, to $11.62 per share on May 29, 2024, a decline of more than 13.5%.
