Delta Air Lines Board Adds Judith Mckenna As Its Newest Member, Effective February 7, 2025

U.S. Global Investors Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GROW#NASDAQ">GROW</a>) <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/01/13/3008669/0/en/U-S-Global-Investors-Highlights-Positive-2024-Results-for-Its-Thematic-Smart-Beta-2-0-ETFs.html">celebrated </a>a banner year in 2024 with its flagship ETFs witnessing solid returns.
The standout performer? The U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>) soared 33.21% higher, spurred by an uptick in travel demand, effective capacity management and lower fuel prices. These drivers helped lift the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aviation">broader aviation sector</a> fly high.
The Transportation Security Administration&nbsp;(TSA) reportedly screened more than 900 million passengers, up 5% compared to 2023.
United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) was the biggest winner, with its stock soaring 135% on-year in 2024.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Global Jets ETF: An Investment to Consider?</h1>
The U.S. Global Jets ETF aims to replicate the performance of the U.S. Global Jets Index through a portfolio of 51 securities. With an asset base of $1.07 billion, the fund has an expense ratio of 0.60%, which can be a cost-effective investment choice. In addition, this fund allocates almost half of its holdings to large-cap stocks, and top holdings include American Airlines Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>),&nbsp;Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) and United Airlines.
Moreover, this pure-play aviation holds stocks of both domestic and international companies with a range of market capitalization.&nbsp;This spreads out the risk of volatility in a particular geographic region.
Nonetheless, a point to be noted here is that the fund features a beta of 1.43, which means it is at slightly higher risk to be more volatile than the market.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Other U.S. Global ETFs that Contributed to a Stellar Year</h1>
The U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOAU#NYSE">GOAU</a>) gained an impressive 13.80%. This performance mirrored gold's sharp rise, as the metal hit an all-time high of $2,787 per ounce on Oct. 30, 2024.
A modest 2.23% gains closed the year for the U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEA#NYSE">SEA</a>). However, a $2.10-per-share dividend was the highlight of the year for this ETF, braving the headwinds that the cargo shipping industry faced, including geopolitical instability and labor disputes.
Adding to its suite of thematic ETFs, U.S. Global Investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42772220/us-global-launches-technology-and-aerospace-defense-etf-why-its-allocation-makes-sense">launched </a>the U.S. Global Technology and Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAR#NYSE">WAR</a>) on Dec. 30, 2024. This ETF has substantial exposure to data centers, homeland protection, aerospace and defense, cybersecurity and semiconductor, key areas of interest in today&#8217;s world.

A United Airlines Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) analyst says the company could mirror recent earnings strength and guidance that Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) had when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">on Jan. 21.</a>
The United Airlines Analyst: Bank of America analyst Andrew Didora reiterated a Buy rating on United Airlines and raised the price target from $100 to $120.
The Analyst Takeaways: United Airlines could be the biggest winner from a strong outlook<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42912208/delta-stock-jumps-after-record-q4-earnings-and-strong-2025-outlook"> shared by Delta, </a>Didora said in a new investor note.
"We expect UAL to report strong 4Q24 results and guide 1Q25 ahead of consensus when the company reports earnings on 1/21," Didora said.
The analyst raised fourth quarter, first quarter and full year 2025 earnings per share estimates ahead of the earnings report.
"The airline is the biggest beneficiary of the strong premium, corporate, and transatlantic growth mentioned in DAL's earnings report last week."
Didora said United's premium product offering and coastal hubs that see strong corporate share should see the airline company reporting results in line with Delta or better.
"The magnitude of DAL's +7-9% 1Q25 revenue guide was a positive surprise to us, and this outlook was well ahead of our prior/Visible Alpha consensus 1Q25 revenue growth forecast of +6.0% for UAL."
The analyst estimates UAL could see 7.5% year-over-year growth in the first quarter based on Delta's report.
"We are modeling consistent unit revenue growth throughout 2025 of around 3% for total revenue growth of +7.6%."
The analyst said the new forecast should allow United to see both higher earnings and free cash flow, allowing the company to complete its buyback and see "further de-leveraging."
UAL Price Action: United Airlines stock is down 3.32% to $103.52 at publication Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $37.02 to $110.92. United Airlines stock is up 164% over the last year.

Crude Oil Surges 3%; Delta Air Lines Posts Better-Than-Expected Earnings

Wall Street faced heavy selling pressure in its first trading session after former President Jimmy Carter's funeral, as a series of economic developments rattled interest rate and energy markets, sparking heightened <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">risk aversion among investors.</a>
The U.S. economy added 256,000 jobs in December, far exceeding expectations of a slowdown to 160,000. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, defying forecasts that had anticipated it to remain at 4.2%.
This red-hot labor market data spurred traders to recalibrate their interest-rate projections. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, expectations for a rate cut have been postponed even further, with markets now fully pricing in a reduction only by September 2025.
Adding to market turmoil, oil prices — as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) — surged more than 3% to $76 per barrel after the Biden administration imposed stricter sanctions on Russian oil exports. These measures targeted major Russian oil companies, shadow fleet tankers and opaque trading networks, intensifying pressure on Moscow&#8217;s energy revenues.
Rising interest rate concerns and inflation uncertainty weighed heavily on equities. The latest University of Michigan consumer survey showed five-year inflation expectations rise to 3.3%, the highest since June 2008.
The S&amp;P 500 dropped nearly 2%, hovering around the 5,800-point level, fully erasing gains made since the election. 
Technology and small-cap stocks bore the brunt of the sell-off, with sharper declines across both sectors.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) climbed to 109.70, marking its highest level since November 2022. The greenback is on track to notch its sixth consecutive weekly gain and has risen in 14 of the past 15 weeks, underscoring its dominance as a safe haven amid market turbulence.
Treasury yields climbed further as fixed-income investors braced for the possibility of persistent inflation. The 10-year Treasury yield rose seven basis points to 4.76%, nearing its late October 2023 highs.
The 30-year Treasury yield briefly touched the 5% mark, a level last seen in October 2023 and previously in August 2007.
Gold prices offered a haven for risk-averse investors, climbing 0.9% as geopolitical uncertainties mounted.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) saw some dip-buying activity, up by 1.2%, snapping a three-day losing streak during which it shed 10% of its value.

Insights From Analysts
TradingEconomics <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42905396/us-may-add-fewer-jobs-in-december-with-an-unchanged-unemployment-rate-predict-economists">compiled</a> economist consensus expects nonfarm payrolls to show a net gain of 154,000 jobs in December, down sharply from the 227,000 added in November. On the other hand, Bloomberg's consensus estimate stands at 165,000 jobs.
However, December's job report will be "the first clean monthly employment report after October," said&nbsp;Ed Yardeni&nbsp;and&nbsp;Eric Wallerstein&nbsp;in their weekly economic report, adding that October witnessed hurricanes and strikes, and November's jobs were boosted because of the returning workers.
Yardeni Research also anticipates further hiring under the Trump administration due to potential policy changes and increased economic certainty.
A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42881085/is-labor-market-cooling-or-raising-fed-concerns-what-to-watch-in-fridays-jobs-report">weaker-than-expected jobs report</a> on Friday could boost U.S. stocks, weaken the dollar, and lower government bond yields, as investors might see it as an indication that the Fed has room to ease monetary policy. &#8211;
Conversely, stronger-than-expected job growth or a lower unemployment rate could raise concerns about a robust labor market, potentially delaying the Fed&#8217;s timeline for easing.
&#8220;The recent string of strong economic data can keep pushing back the timing of the next Fed rate cut,&#8221; said Collin Martin, director, of fixed income strategy at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. &#8220;The Fed funds futures market is not pricing in the next cut until July, and if inflation remains as sticky as it has lately, it seems likely that the Fed could skip cutting rates at a number of meetings.&#8221;
Drawing a parallel between a strong U.S. dollar and equity performance, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates said that a stronger greenback &#8220;impedes the sales in the multi-international stocks&#8221; in the S&amp;P 500 and most such stocks have at least half of their revenue coming from outside U.S.
&#8220;As a result, domestic stocks tend to prosper during a strong U.S. dollar environment, especially small-to-mid capitalization companies,&#8221; he added.
