Reuters Cites Letter Saying Major Airlines Oppose Bill To Limit U.S. Transportation Security Administration's Ability To Use Facial Recognition Software At Airports

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) is charting a steady course forward with a sharpened focus on premium travel, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">operational efficiency, and global expansion</a>.
Bank of America Securities analyst Andrew G. Didora reiterated the Buy rating on United Airlines Holdings, raising the price forecast from $90 to $108.
On July 16, the airline company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.87 per share, beating analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46455550/united-airlines-q2-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-lowered-fy25-guidance-despite-positive-shift-in-demand-in-early-july" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates of $3.77 per share.</a>
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46471551/united-flies-past-earnings-estimates-revenue-and-guidance-hit-headwinds" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Flies Past Earnings Estimates, Revenue And Guidance Hit Headwinds</a>
Didora highlights that United Airlines&#8217; focus on premium travel, international routes, and loyalty programs is supporting industry-leading margins.
With encouraging signs of domestic demand recovery in early July and improved capacity trends expected in the fall, unit revenue performance is projected to rebound, nearing flat in the fourth quarter of 2025 from a 4% decline in the second quarter.
On the cost side, the analyst sees that the trends are improving, prompting a revision of estimates toward the higher end of the firm&#8217;s guidance for the third quarter and full-year 2025.
Per Didora, the second half unit cost growth is expected to remain manageable at around 2.5%, lower than the previously projected 3.5%-4.0% range.
This outlook remains positive despite the likelihood of a new flight attendant contract, which could create a 100bps cost headwind on an annualized basis.
Didora views this as a solid setup heading into 2026, where unit costs are also expected to grow by about 2.5%.
Given the company&#8217;s historical conservatism and its second-quarter earnings beating guidance despite a $0.50 disruption impact from Newark, Didora has raised expectations.
Third quarter 2025 EPS is now projected at $2.70, the higher end of the guided range of $2.25–$2.75.
The full-year 2025 EPS estimate is lifted to $10.50 from $10.00, nearing the top end of the $9–$11 outlook, while 2026 EPS is raised to $12.40 from $11.41, implying nearly 20% year-over-year growth.
Price Action: UAL shares are trading higher by 0.41% to $91.59 at last check Friday.

Insights From Analysts:
A key takeaway for investors, according to Scott Wren, Senior Global Market Strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, is the certainty of rising tariffs on numerous U.S. trading partners in the near and intermediate terms. While the recent &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; momentarily sidelined trade concerns, tariffs are firmly back on the policy agenda.
As the second-quarter earnings season unfolds, corporate profitability will be under intense scrutiny. Wells Fargo anticipates a mid-single-digit earnings growth rate for the second quarter, a slowdown from the previous quarter, reflecting both a slightly softer economy and the emerging tariff headwinds.
While some companies have benefited from &#8220;buying ahead&#8221; to mitigate tariff impacts, others are now feeling the pressure on their bottom lines.
Wren highlights that S&amp;P 500 companies have generally enjoyed robust operating profit margins, around 14-15% since late 2021, exceeding the long-term average. This provides some capacity to absorb tariff costs. However, investors will be keenly focused on how much of these additional expenses will be passed on to consumers and the ultimate impact on earnings.
Wells Fargo continues to favor Information Technology and Communication Services for their expected strong earnings. They also see improved comparisons later this year and into 2026 for Energy, Utilities, and Financials.
For now, the firm suggests trimming overvalued sectors like Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and U.S. Small Cap Equities, anticipating better buying opportunities towards the end of the year and into 2026.
Meanwhile, Ryan Detrick from Carson Research highlighted that the S&amp;P 500 made its ninth all-time high on Thursday.
&#8220;Since 1957 (when it became 500 stocks) today was ATH number 1,250,&#8221; he added.

Nasdaq 100 Sets New Records, Small Caps Outperform: What's Moving Markets Thursday?

Shares of United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) rallied in early trading on Thursday, after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46455550/united-airlines-q2-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-lowered-fy25-guidance-despite-positive-shift-in-demand-in-early-july">upbeat second-quarter earnings</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>BofA Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5874f5e55064ed0001eb1bca/andrew-didora">analyst Andrew Didora</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $90.</li>
<li>Raymond James <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/585aa875b5a482000151d0e7/savanthi-syth">analyst Savanthi Syth</a> maintained a Market Perform rating on the stock.</li>
</ul>
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
BofA Securities: United Airlines reported strong earnings of $3.87 per share, beating Street expectations of $3.84 per share, Didora said in a note. The company managed to beat earnings despite the Newark disruption and flight cancellations due to the Middle East tensions, he added.
The performance was driven by premium cabin exposure, which "continues to differentiate UAL from most airlines," the analyst stated. Management's outlook for the third quarter and full year came in-line with expectations, indicating the company's "conservatism around guidance and the power of its business model," he further wrote.
Raymond James: United Airlines' revenue contracted on a year-on-year basis and came in below the consensus estimates, Syth said. The company's pretax margin, at 11.0%, was slightly lower than Delta Air Lines Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) 11.6%, he added.
Management lowered their 2025 earnings guidance from $11.50-13.50 per share to $9.00-11.00 per share, while reiterating the capex outlook, the analyst stated. "Notably, beginning in early July, United has seen a sequential 6 ppt acceleration in demand vs. 2Q25 indicating that forward booking might be reaching demand levels consistent with earlier in the year," he further wrote.
UAL Price Action: Shares of United Airlines had risen by 2.82% to $90.79 at the time of publication on Thursday.

Insights From Analysts:
While the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46461053/federal-reserves-beige-book-reveals-tariff-driven-profit-squeeze-as-businesses-avoid-price-hikes-what-it-means-for-consumers">Fed&#8217;s Beige Book</a>, released Wednesday, stated that businesses that did not raise prices or pass on the impact of tariffs to their customers are likely to take a hit on their profit margins.
Jeffrey Roach, the chief economist at LPL Financial, told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a> that "Investors should expect margin compression as businesses held off raising prices because of customers' growing price sensitivity."
Roach's macro quicktake was that Beige Book reveals "heavier margin compression" in the coming months, cautioning the investors and consumers.
&#8220;We&#8217;re hearing from a lot of businesses that a lot of companies are going to absorb tariffs in their margins over time, maybe three to five years in some cases, and slowly pass the costs along,&#8221; said Alex Coffey, senior trading and derivatives strategist at Schwab.
Meanwhile, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates supported Trump calling out Powell and said &#8220;Obviously, President Trump will continue to bash Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and push for multiple key interest rate cuts, since higher rates are hindering real estate and other major sectors of the U.S. economy.&#8221;
Angelo Kourkafas, of Edward Jones, stated that earnings growth for the S&amp;P 500 is expected to slow in the second quarter to around 5% from the more than 10% in the prior two quarters.
However, he said that for the full year, estimates call for 8.5% growth, which, if realized, would be above the index&#8217;s long-term average of 6.5%.
&#8220;Lingering uncertainties suggest that there could be some more volatility around these expectations, but next year&#8217;s backdrop appears to be more favorable, as corporate profits may reaccelerate amid lower rates and modest fiscal stimulus from the tax bill,&#8221; he added.

Rigetti Computing, Netflix, Johnson & Johnson, United Airlines And ASML: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) reported second-quarter financial results after the market close on Wednesday. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46454110/united-airlines-reports-second-quarter-profit-sees-third-quarter-positive-inflection-in-both-suppl">of the report</a>.
Q2 Earnings: United reported second-quarter revenue of $15.27 billion, missing the&nbsp;<a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/UAL/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate</a>&nbsp;of $15.35 billion. The airline company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.87 per share, beating analyst estimates of $3.77 per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Premium cabin revenue was up 5.6% year-over-year and basic economy revenue climbed 1.7%. Loyalty revenue was up 8.7% year-over-year and cargo revenue rose 3.8%.
Capacity was up 5.9% on a year-over-year basis. TRASM (total revenue per available seat mile) was down 4% while CASM (cost per available seat mile) increased 0.6% year-over-year.
United generated $2.2 billion in operating cash flow and $1.1 billion of free cash flow in the second quarter. The company ended the period with $18.6 in total liquidity and $27.1 billion in total debt and finance lease obligations.
&#8220;Our&nbsp;second-quarter&nbsp;performance was more proof that the United Next strategy is working. I am extremely proud of the team for executing a strong operation and navigating through a volatile macroeconomic period, while still growing earnings and pre-tax margin for the first half of the year,&#8221; said&nbsp;Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines. 
&#8220;Importantly, United saw a positive shift in demand beginning in early July, and, like 2024, anticipates another inflection in industry supply in mid-August.&#8221;
Outlook:&nbsp;United lowered its full-year 2025 earnings outlook. The company now expects full-year earnings of $9 to $11 per share, down from prior guidance of $11.50 to $13.50 per share. Analysts are forecasting full-year earnings of $10.05 per share.
&#8220;Beginning in early July, United has seen a sequential six point acceleration in demand and a double-digit acceleration in business demand versus the second quarter. The airline attributes this to less geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty,&#8221; the company said.
United said it will provide guidance for the third quarter on its conference call Thursday at 10:30 a.m. ET.
UAL Price Action: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UAL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Airlines shares</a> were down 1.37% in after-hours, trading at $87.20 at the time of publication on Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
