Earnings Recap
American Airlines
American reported an adjusted loss of $1.69 per share on revenue of $7.48 billion. The airliner did not follow United Airlines (UAL) - Get Report in predicting a return to profit later this year.
Ahead of the latest earnings from American, Cramer took to Real Money to discuss the reversal of mentality in terms of the airline stocks.
"Which brings me to hindsight, something that's so bogus that it drives me crazy. Last year we were looking at certain bankruptcies for not just United but all of our airlines, even possibly the best of the best, Southwest Air. It was a given they had to go, because it was a given that you would get COVID if you flew. Sometimes I wonder if people even recall those days, the days when we thought planes were death traps," Cramer wrote.
AT&T
AT&T reported adjusted earnings of 89 cents per share on revenue of $44 billion, exceeding estimates on the top and bottom lines.
TST Recommends
