Jim Cramer’s Game Plan for Next Week: 25 Stocks in Focus

20. American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 59

Discussing that airlines have reported mixed earnings reports, Cramer mentioned American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL) and said:

“The airlines, they’ve been a mixed blessing between Delta bad, United good, the weak, and the strong. Which is Southwest, and which is American? I think they’re in the Delta camp, but their stocks are cheap. They may not stay that way.”

American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) is an airline that offers scheduled flight services. On March 12, Cramer commented:

“And several other airlines mainly followed suit. American slashed revenue outlook for the first quarter and guided for much larger than expected loss… But honestly, these names have already come down dramatically over the past few weeks. This makes them very interesting to me. After this week’s blood bath, you got a lot of them are down 35 to 40%.

So given all the newfound negativity, why on earth would I stick my neck out and recommend some cheap travel plays? Look, as tough as these airlines, the updates were, the collective news, frankly, it wasn’t that horrible, at least not if you listen closely.”
