Subject to change. American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL) American Airlines Group Inc., through its subsidiaries, operates as a network air carrier. It provides scheduled air transportation services for passengers and cargo. As of December 31, 2019, the company operated a mainline fleet of 942 aircraft. It serves 365 destinations in approximately 61 countries, principally from its hubs and gateways in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, London Heathrow, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C. American Airlines Group Inc. has strategic partnership with JetBlue Airways Corp. The company was formerly known as AMR Corporation and changed its name to American Airlines Group Inc. in December 2013. American Airlines Group Inc. was founded in 1930 and is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. Source: FinViz.com, January 2021 American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL) POSITIVES: As coronavirus keeps majority of the customers away from air travel, the airline has permanently eliminated change fees for both domestic and long-haul international flights (in case travel originates from North or South America) to attract passengers. The offer is valid for all tickets, except Basic Economy. Thanks to significant reduction in costs, American Airlines’ average daily cash burn in the September quarter was $44 million per day, comparing favorably with the June-quarter’s figure of $58 million. The carrier expects average daily cash burn rate to be at the high end of $25-$30 million for the December quarter. Moreover, the current scenario of low fuel costs is a positive for the company. The second coronavirus relief package of $900 billion provides a big respite to American Airlines. Of the total amount, airlines are set to receive more than $12 billion as payroll support. As a condition to receiving the financial assistance, airlines are prohibited from laying off employees or reducing pays through Mar 31, 2021, as was the case with the first round of coronavirus aid worth $25 billion, approved in March, when airlines were barred from furloughing workers through Sep 30, 2020. With the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) having cleared American Airlines’ previously announced strategic partnership with JetBlue Airways, the key features of the alliance are set to be launched in the first quarter of 2021. The alliance is a major development for American Airlines and is expected to provide growth opportunities for the company by significantly expanding connectivity in the Northeast. Possible concerns: The sharp drop in air-travel demand is hurting passenger revenues, which comprise majority of its top line. The carrier incurred a loss in each of the first three quarters of 2020, mainly due to the 64.2% drop in passenger revenues in the first nine months of 2020. American Airlines expects system capacity for the December quarter to nosedive more than 50% year over year. Long-haul international capacity is estimated to be down roughly 75% in the final quarter of 2020. Fourth-quarter 2020 results are set to be released on Jan 28.

It also sells various related services. The company offers iPhone, a line of smartphones; Mac, a line of personal computers; iPad, a line of multi- purpose tablets; and wearables, home, and accessories comprising AirPods, Apple TV, Apple Watch, Beats products, HomePod, iPod touch, and other Apple-branded and third-party accessories.

In addition, the company offers various services, such as Apple Arcade, a game subscription service; Apple Music, which offers users a curated listening experience with on-demand radio stations; Apple News+, a subscription news and magazine service; Apple TV+, which offers exclusive original content; Apple Card, a co-branded credit card; and Apple Pay, a cashless payment service, as well as licenses its intellectual property. The company serves consumers, and small and mid-sized businesses; and the education, enterprise, and government markets. It sells and delivers third-party applications for its products through the App Store. The company also sells its products through its retail and online stores, and direct sales force; and third-party cellular network carriers, wholesalers, retailers, and resellers. Apple Inc. was founded in 1977 and is headquartered in Cupertino, California. Source: FinViz.com, June 2020 Apple Inc. (AAPL) POSITIVES: Apple’s Services and Wearables businesses are expected to drive top-line growth in fiscal 2021 and beyond. Although Apple’s business primarily runs around its flagship iPhone, the Services portfolio has emerged as the company’s new cash cow. Apple’s endeavors to open up its ecosystem, through partnerships with the likes of Samsung and Amazon, are positive for the Services segment. The subscription-based video streaming, news and gaming services are expected to benefit from Apple’s strong installed base. Robust App Store sales coupled with solid adoption of Apple Pay and Apple Music helped Apple double its 2016 Services revenues six months ahead of its targeted 2020-end. Moreover, its wearables and hearables business is expected to be driven by solid demand for Apple Watch and Airpods. Apple currently has more than 585 million paid subscribers across its Services portfolio. The App Store continues to draw the attention of prominent developers from around the world, helping the company offer appealing new apps that drive App Store traffic. Apple Pay, designed on the basis of a contactless payment (NFC) technology, has been expanded to 49 markets. Further, Apple Music has more than 60 million paid subscribers. The service offers more than 60 million songs, with world class music experts and taste makers curating thousands of playlists and daily selections in 115 countries. Apple Music’s availability on Amazon Echo devices is expected to expand the iPhone maker’s footprint against Spotify, which is currently the dominant player in the paid, premium music streaming market. Apple is encouraging developers to use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in their apps. Apple’s focus on autonomous vehicles and augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies presents growth opportunity in the long haul. These are fast emerging as lucrative business opportunities. Apple has a strong balance sheet and generates significant cash flow. Possible concerns: Lackluster demand for iPhone due to Coronavirus, lack of a 5G-supported device, stiff competition, slowing economy in China and increasing regulatory hassles are major headwinds.

  • The Walt Disney Company Exclusion of Shareholder Proposal by Myra K
    SANFORD J. LEWIS, ATTORNEY January 6, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Disney Inc. Regarding Advertising Policies and Social Media on Behalf of Myra Young To Whom It Concern: Myra K. Young (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of Disney Inc. (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I have been asked by the Proponent to respond to the letter dated October 31, 2020 ("Company Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by Lillian Brown of Wilmer Hale. In that letter, the Company contends that the Proposal may be excluded from the Company’s 2021 proxy statement. I have reviewed the Proposal, as well as the letter sent by the Company, and based upon the foregoing, as well as the relevant rules, it is my opinion that the Proposal must be included in the Company’s 2021 proxy materials and that it is not excludable under Rule 14a-8. A copy of this letter is being emailed concurrently to Lillian Brown of Wilmer Hale. Summary The Proposal requests that the Board of Directors commission an independent third-party report assessing how and whether Disney ensures the Company’s advertising policies are not contributing to violations of civil or human rights. Among other things, such report should consider whether advertising policies contribute to the spread of hate speech, disinformation, white supremacist recruitment efforts, or voter suppression efforts, and whether the policies undermine efforts to defend civil and human rights such as through the demonetization of content that seeks to advance and promote such rights.
