Shares of American Airlines Group Inc. have tumbled enough in the past week and long-time bearish analyst Scott Group at Wolfe Research said it was time to stop selling.
Scott raised his rating on the Texas-based air carrier to peer perform, after being at underperform for at least the past three years.
