The accusations: Robbins LLP investigates allegations that American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL) misled investors about its sales strategy

The lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants misrepresented the true condition of the company, claiming that the company’s sales and distribution strategy did not produce projected revenues, but instead alienated customers because the strategy and its demonstrably poor execution made it difficult for customers to access the company’s services.

The truth came out after the market closed on May 28, 2024, when American announced the immediate firing of its Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Vasu S. Raja, as well as an abrupt reduction in its near-term guidance. During a conference presentation on May 29, 2024, the Company attributed its lowered guidance to weakness in customer bookings, a domestic supply and demand imbalance, and a reduction in capacity growth. In relevant part, the Defendants announced that the reduced customer bookings were largely due to the changes American had made to its sales and distribution strategy, that they had not properly executed their strategy, and that they would now change their strategy to try to win back the customers their strategy had alienated. As a result, the Defendants reduced their guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, specifically their guidance 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, American’s common stock price fell from a closing price of $13.44 per share on May 28, 2024 to $11.62 per share on May 29, 2024, a decrease of more than 13.5%.
