American Airlines extended its losing streak to a fourth consecutive day on Tuesday, shedding 7 percent to close at $13.55 apiece as investors took path from a sharp fall in its net income for both the full year and fourth quarter of 2025.

In its financial statement, American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL) said that net income for full-year 2025 dwindled by 86.8 percent to $111 million from $846 million in 2024, while total operating revenues finished flat at $54.6 billion.
