If you believe LOW deserves a premium for stronger margins and lower leverage, then stay constructive on LOW versus AAL, but avoid relying on AAL-implied $1249.13 price because the comparison is not economically clean and LOW already trades near the top of its historical band.
On a simple P/E comparison, LOW trades at 19.2x versus AAL at 105.4x, which mechanically creates a very large implied-price gap. But that gap is driven by the fact that AAL’s earnings base is extremely thin relative to sales, making AAL multiple comparison structurally distorted rather than a true mispricing signal.
