美国500强2012十大牛股

第1名 全美航空

股票代码：LCC

今年迄今股价涨幅：152%

市值：21亿美元

《财富》美国500强排名：208

    今年以来，受可能与AMR Corporation合并的消息刺激，全美航空（US Airways）股价大涨。AMR是美国航空（American Airlines）和美国之鹰公司（American Eagle）的母公司，2011年底根据美国《破产法第十一章》递交了破产申请。

    全美航空是美国第五大航空公司，最初于1月份承认了合并的可能性。当时，这家公司披露称，公司已聘请了顾问公司，探索并购的可能性。从春到冬，坊间猜测不断。12月份，美国航空确认在讨论可能的并购时，与全美航空管理层分享了保密的财务信息。航空业几大工会都对这项并购持支持态度。

    全美航空基本上经营美国国内航线，面临着来自西南航空（Southwest Airlines）等廉价航空公司的激烈竞争。但分析人士表示，如果它与美国航空合并，它将成为一家规模大得多的国际航空公司。

#1 US Airways Group

Ticker: LCC

YTD stock performance: 152%

Market cap: $2.1 billion

Fortune 500 rank: 208

    Since the start of the year, US Airways(LCC, Fortune 500) shares have been on a tear as the airline pursues a merger with AMR Corporation, the parent of American Airlines and American Eagle, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy at the end of 2011.

    US Airways, the nation's fifth-largest carrier, first acknowledged the possibility of a merger in January, when it disclosed that it had hired advisers to explore a possible deal. Speculation continued to build throughout the year. In December, American confirmed that it has shared confidential financial information with US Airways management as part of discussions for a possible deal, which the industry's major unions support.

    US Airways mostly operates domestically and faces stiff competition from low-cost carriers likeSouthwest Airlines (LUV, Fortune 500). But analysts say a merger with American would make it a much bigger player internationally.
