American Airlines Group, United Airlines, and Joby Aviation are the three Airline stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Airline stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that operate passenger and/or cargo air transportation, representing ownership in those airlines and entitling investors to any dividends and capital gains or losses. These stocks are typically cyclical and can be more volatile than the broader market because airline profitability is highly sensitive to factors like fuel costs, economic growth and travel demand, labor and maintenance costs, capacity and competition, and regulatory or geopolitical events. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Airline stocks within the last several days.
