Smart Money Is Betting Big In UAL Options

Legendary investor Stanley Druckenmiller's newest 13F filings are out.
He's going hard on airline stocks when everyone else is fearful.
Here's why you should pay attention:
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="308" height="365" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26182955/image-2-2.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-6703" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26182955/image-2-2.jpeg 308w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26182955/image-2-2-253x300.jpeg 253w" sizes="(max-width: 308px) 100vw, 308px" /></figure>
Druckenmiller's new 13F filings indicate he's buying:
<ul>
<li>Delta Air</li>
<li>United Airlines</li>
<li>American Airlines</li>
</ul>
This has taken many investors by surprise.
Airline narratives have been bearish for years.
<ul>
<li>Covid</li>
<li>Boeing scandals</li>
<li>The recent Toronto plane crash</li>
</ul>
So why is Stanley investing in airline stocks?
From an investing standpoint, Druckenmiller appears to be bullish on Trump.
He claims we're "going from the most anti-business administration to the opposite.&#8221;
When Covid hit, airline stocks across the board took a dive.
Only recently, just before Trump's election victory, have they started to recover.
With Trump's victory, they started climbing even higher.
They're finally surpassing pre-pandemic level highs.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="936" height="652" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26182956/image-5.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-6705" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26182956/image-5.jpeg 936w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26182956/image-5-300x209.jpeg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26182956/image-5-768x535.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px" /></figure>
Despite an airline comeback, they're still lagging behind the S&amp;P.
Stanley likely sees this as an opportunity.
Room for growth means room for profit.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="937" height="651" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26182956/image-2-3.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-6704" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26182956/image-2-3.jpeg 937w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26182956/image-2-3-300x208.jpeg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26182956/image-2-3-768x534.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px" /></figure>
U.S. airline stocks aside, the global aviation sector is expanding.
It's expected to continue expanding thanks to:
<ul>
<li>Rising population levels</li>
<li>Higher-income per capita</li>
<li>Post-pandemic travel hype</li>
</ul>
Both micro and macroeconomic projects look great for aviation.
Stanley Druckenmiller's investing decisions have some of the highest annualized returns of all time.
Given his viewpoint + the macro outlook for airline stocks, I understand why he's bullish on airline stocks.

10 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

United Airlines Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NYSE">UAL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 18.24% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 14.81 million shares sold short, which is 5.11% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.01 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740404726_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for United Airlines Holdings has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing United Airlines Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, United Airlines Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.32%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Stanley Druckenmiller, George Soros&#8216; former money manager, made several trades in 2024&#8217;s fourth quarter. Perhaps most notable is a new position in United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/01/43138821/united-airlines-analysts-remain-bullish-as-revenue-exceeds-estimates">the company&#8217;s turnaround</a>.
What Happened: Institutional investment managers are legally required to disclose their quarter-end holdings in 13f filings. Druckenmiller&#8217;s Duquesne Family Office filed on Friday.
According to the filing, Duquesne owned 1,043,805 shares of United Airlines as of Dec. 31, 2024. The position represents 2.7% of the family office&#8217;s portfolio.
Druckenmiller previously owned shares of the Chicago-based company in 2017.
Why it Matters: Druckenmiller&#8217;s thought process behind his investment is unclear.
United Airlines beat earnings and revenue estimates in its third and fourth quarters of 2024. The company lagged behind Delta Airlines and American Airlines following the COVID-19 pandemic but has recovered since then.
United Airlines&#8217; share price has risen over 80% since the end of September, reflecting investor optimism about the airline&#8217;s recovery and growth prospects.
The company has focused on <a href="https://www.united.com/en/us/newsroom/announcements/cision-125351">expanding</a> international routes, <a href="https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/new-united-fleet-experience.html">upgrading</a> its fleet, and enhancing customer experience, which may have contributed to its recent success. Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/12/42745629/gas-prices-to-fall-in-2025-gasbuddy-says-welcome-relief-for-drivers">falling jet fuel prices</a> and strong demand for air travel have bolstered profitability across the industry.
Druckenmiller&#8217;s investment could signal confidence in United Airlines&#8217; strategic direction and long-term growth potential. Investors will be watching closely to see if he increases his stake in the coming quarters, potentially influencing market sentiment toward the airline sector.

Stanley Druckenmiller Bet Big On United Airlines As Company Rebounded In Q4

Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller&#8216;s family office Duquesne has divested his entire stake in Broadcom, simultaneously increasing his investments in major tech companies, as revealed in a recent 13-F filing.
What Happened: According to a recent&nbsp;SEC filing, Druckenmiller, a seasoned investor, sold all his shares of&nbsp;Broadcom Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) in the fourth quarter. This move comes on the heels of his total exit from Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), a competing chipmaker, a few months prior.
In the closing months of 2024, Druckenmiller significantly reduced his tech stock portfolio, selling his entire stakes in&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>),&nbsp;Adobe Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) and&nbsp;Autodesk Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>). He also completely sold his stake in&nbsp;Starbucks Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) and his shares in insurance company&nbsp;Chubb Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>).
Despite these divestments, Druckenmiller increased his investments in several big tech companies in the same quarter, acquiring new positions in&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>),&nbsp;Amazon.com Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Elon Musk&#8216;s electric vehicle manufacturer&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Druckenmiller&#8217;s Duquesne also initiated new investments in United Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NYSE">UAL</a>), Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), Warner Bros. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NYSE">WBD</a>), Skechers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>), and Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>).
The most significant holding in his Duquesne Family Office remains Natera (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTRA#NASDAQ">NTRA</a>), the clinical genetic-testing company in which they held a stake since 2022. Natera holdings account for just over 15% of the portfolio. Meanwhile, the firm increased its stake in Teva Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) by nearly 6.3 times. 
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43649046/warner-bros-jinjiang-international-collaborate-for-harry-potter-studio-tour-in-shanghai">Warner Bros Announces Shanghai Harry Potter Studio Tour—Set To Be Four Times Larger Than London&#8217;s</a>
Why It Matters: Druckenmiller, who formerly managed hedge funds for George Soros, now manages his own wealth through the Duquesne Family Office, which has investments worth nearly $3.72 billion.
The billionaire investor&#8217;s latest moves follow his earlier divestments in AI stocks. During the third quarter of 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42668157/stanley-druckenmiller-dumps-streets-hottest-ai-stocks-heres-what-the-billionaire-investor-is-betting-on-next">Druckenmiller sold all of its Nvidia shares and significantly reduced its Palantir holdings</a> by 95%. This occurred despite Nvidia and Palantir experiencing significant stock surges that year, with Nvidia&#8217;s stock increasing nearly 190% and Palantir&#8217;s shares gaining over 386%. 
The current quarter&#8217;s exit from Broadcom despite the stock surging more than 100% over the past year appears as a profit booking move. Meanwhile, other additions in big tech stocks show his growing confidence in the sector.
Druckenmiller added Tesla to its portfolio which surged over 83% in the past year. However, the stock plunged more than 16% over the last month, amid declining global sales, regulatory roadblocks in China, earnings disappointment, and Musk&#8217;s increasing political involvement.
