Shares of travel and tourism-related companies are trading lower as global markets continue to decline following President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

American Airlines Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NYSE">AAL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 3.34% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 58.69 million shares sold short, which is 10.13% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.0 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for American Airlines Group has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing American Airlines Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, American Airlines Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.45%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Do Investors Really Feel About American Airlines Group?

Demand in the airline sector weakened throughout the first quarter, with expectations of a tough earnings season featuring lower second-quarter forecasts <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/airlines" rel="noreferrer noopener">and reduced 2025 earnings guidance.</a>
Airline stocks are down 24% year-to-date, and BofA Securities analyst Andrew G. Didora notes that demand recovery hinges on achieving macroeconomic stability.
The positive outlook for the airline industry in 2024 was initially based on steady demand, but that has shifted since early February due to factors like macro uncertainty, cuts in DOGE, weaker consumer confidence, poor transborder traffic, stagnating business travel, and slowing transatlantic demand, the analyst writes.
Per Didora, the upcoming first quarter of 2025 earnings season is expected to show weak second-quarter forecasts and lowered 2025 earnings guidance, with analysts adjusting their estimates and price targets.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/03/44192357/united-airlines-starlink-rollout-to-boost-regional-aircraft-wi-fi-speed-by-50x" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Airlines&#8217; Starlink Rollout To Boost Regional Aircraft Wi-Fi Speed By 50x</a>
Due to weakening demand and pricing in 1Q25, the airline industry is expected to finish March with pricing at its lowest levels in several quarters.
Airlines need macroeconomic stability for demand to recover and reverse the 24% decline in stock prices year-to-date, the analyst notes.
Here are Didora&#8217;s key takeaways in some of the biggest players in the space:
<ul>
<li>The analyst reiterated the Buy rating on Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), lowering the price forecast from $65 to $56.</li>
<li>Didora maintained the Buy rating on United Airlines Holdings, Inc.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), reducing the price forecast from $110 to $100.</li>
<li>The analyst reiterated the Neutral rating on American Airlines Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>), lowering the price forecast from $16 to $12.</li>
</ul>
The analyst observes that, based on Bank of America&#8217;s aggregated credit and debit card data, spending slowed by 400bps from January to February, and March remained at February&#8217;s levels.
The analyst anticipates that 2025 earnings per share (EPS) forecasts will be at risk, with new projections showing that all airlines are likely to fall short of their full-year earnings targets.
With this trend,&nbsp;Delta Air Lines&#8217; revised 1Q25 unit revenue outlook of -1% suggests March unit revenues could be down 5%, with a forecast of low single-digit declines in 2Q25, assuming a 200bps improvement in April due to the Easter shift.
Specifically, the analyst&#8217;s revised forecasts for Delta and United Airlines are nearly 10% below consensus, at $6.40 and $11.35, respectively.
The analyst observes that while domestic supply has been slow to leave the market, May growth is the lowest in 1H25, aside from January.
Didora projects domestic growth to decrease into 3Q25 as airlines adjust supply to match new demand levels.

Following the worst quarterly performance for U.S. stocks in over two years, caution dominated Wall Street as investors awaited details on the tariff plans expected from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">Trump administration on Wednesday.</a>
On Tuesday, a Washington Post report suggested the administration is considering a sweeping 20% tariff on most of the $3 trillion in annual imports.
Survey data showed that goods-producing businesses had been front-loading purchases ahead of the expected tariffs by the end of first quarter, with inventory levels rising and input cost pressures<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44588076/us-manufacturing-slips-into-contraction-as-tariff-driven-costs-hit-near-3-year-high"> hitting a three-year high.</a>
Major indexes showed little movement by midday in New York, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 posting modest gains.
Notably, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>), and Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) each jumped around 6% as investors viewed them as potential winners from auto-related tariffs. 
Reports last week highlighted that all three manufacture vehicles entirely in the U.S., giving them a competitive edge over peers like Ford Motor Co.

Treasuries climbed as yields fell, and gold took a breather after hitting a record $3,122 per ounce. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose more than 3% to over $85,000, marking its strongest session in three weeks.

London's Heathrow Airport Closed All Day On Friday After Power Outage Due To Fire

The Heathrow Airport has been forced to close its operations on Friday due to a major power outage. This disruption stems from a fire at a nearby electrical substation, causing widespread power failures and affecting thousands of homes.
What Happened: The Heathrow Airport will remain closed throughout Friday following a &#8220;significant&#8221; power outage caused by a fire at a nearby electrical substation.
The fire, which occurred in Hayes, west London, has left thousands of homes without electricity and led to the evacuation of 150 people from nearby properties.
In a post on X, the airport confirmed the closure and advised passengers not to travel to the airport.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Due to a fire at an electrical substation supplying the airport, Heathrow is experiencing a significant power outage. To maintain the safety of our passengers and colleagues, Heathrow will be closed until 23h59 on 21 March. Passengers are advised not to travel to the airport… <a href="https://t.co/7SWNJP8ojd">pic.twitter.com/7SWNJP8ojd</a>

</figure>
The closure of the UK&#8217;s busiest airport is expected to result in &#8220;significant disruption&#8221; over the coming days, with passengers advised not to travel until the situation is resolved.
Emergency services responded to the incident at 23:23 GMT, and video footage shared on social media showed flames and smoke emanating from the substation.

Why It Matters: Flight tracking website Flightradar24 reported that at least 1,351 flights to and from Heathrow will be affected on Friday, with some 120 aircraft already airborne when the closure was announced.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) stated that part of a transformer within the substation remains alight, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Ten fire engines and approximately 70 firefighters have been deployed to manage the blaze. A 200-meter cordon has been established as a precaution, and local residents have been advised to keep doors and windows shut due to the smoke. LFB has successfully led 29 people to safety from nearby properties.
More than 16,300 homes have experienced power outages due to the fire, according to energy supplier Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks. Power has since been restored to some properties.
This event follows a similar aviation disruption earlier this month when an <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44322855/american-airlines-flight-evacuated-after-engine-fire-at-denver-airport-12-passengers-suffer-injuries">engine fire</a> on an American Airlines Group Inc.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Duffy Says: The Trump Administration Plans To Announce A "Brand New" US Air Traffic Control System "In The Next Couple Days,"

American Airlines Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NYSE">AAL</a>) short percent of float has risen 19.36% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 60.71 million shares sold short, which is 10.48% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.45 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for American Airlines Group has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing American Airlines Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, American Airlines Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.83%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
