United Airlines Holdings, Inc. - Common Stock

United Airlines Holdings Inc

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) shares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UAL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">traded lower on Wednesday.</a>
On Tuesday, the company reported first-quarter revenue of $13.21 billion, missing<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44826858/united-airlines-stock-takes-off-on-q1-earnings-strong-q2-forecast-fy-guidance-for-stable-and-recessionary-environments-impossible-to-predict" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;analyst estimates of $13.25 billion.</a> United estimated second-quarter adjusted earnings in the range of $3.25 to $4.25 per share.
Here are the key analyst takes on the stock, shared on Wednesday:
<ul>
<li>BofA Securities analyst Andrew G. Didora reiterated the Buy rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $100.</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs analyst Catherine O'Brien reiterated the Buy rating on United Airlines, with a price forecast of $92.</li>
</ul>
BofA Securities: Didora noted that, like Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), United Airlines has not experienced any further decline in bookings in recent weeks.
This stability allowed the company to provide a strong second-quarter 2025 earnings guidance.

The analyst described the quarter as well-executed and expressed confidence in United&#8217;s potential to outperform moving forward, citing its strong revenue from premium offerings, a robust loyalty program, and a healthy balance sheet as key drivers of its competitive edge.
The analyst suggested that United Airlines likely began reducing costs when it noticed weakening demand in early February, coinciding with the DOGE fare cuts.
The cost-cutting measures appear to have focused on improving operational efficiency, adjusting maintenance schedules, and speeding up the retirement of older aircraft.
These strategic moves likely served as key levers to manage expenses and preserve margins in response to softening market conditions, Didora adds.
The analyst noted that while a holiday shift may have slightly boosted booking numbers, the performance still appears strong—especially as investors closely watch for potential weakness in international demand due to tariff-related concerns.
Goldman Sachs: O'Brien pointed out that, amid growing investor concern around full-year earnings guidance due to an uncertain demand outlook, many expected airlines to either withdraw or significantly lower their forecasts.
However, United Airlines took a different route by presenting two potential scenarios.
In one case, where bookings remain consistent with recent weaker trends, the company is sticking with its original 2025 EPS forecast of $11.50 to $13.50.
In a more cautious, recessionary scenario, United expects earnings between $7.00 and $9.00, which is still above Goldman Sachs&#8217; illustrative estimate of $6.20 for a downturn.
These ranges compare to the current Street consensus of $10.52 and Goldman's estimate of $9.75.
O'Brien highlighted several key risks, including the possibility that increased competition could offset the benefits of United&#8217;s network restructuring plans.
There's also concern about potential further delays in aircraft deliveries and the chance that demand in the Asia-Pacific region may recover more slowly than expected, the analyst writes.
Price Action: UAL shares ended Wednesday down 0.01% at $66.99.

United Airlines Holds The Line On Bookings—Analysts See Strength Beneath The Surface

U.S. major indices traded lower at midday Wednesday, pressured by sharp declines in tech and semiconductor stocks after Washington tightened chip <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">export restrictions to China.</a>
The U.S. government has barred Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) from selling its H20 chips to China — a move that could wipe out an estimated $5.5 billion from the company's projected quarterly revenue. Nvidia shares slid nearly 7%.
Other chipmakers also felt the heat. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) dropped 6% as its MI308 chips fall under the new licensing requirements.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) sank 3.4%, extending the sector&#8217;s losses. Adding to the drag, Dutch chip equipment giant ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) missed quarterly revenue estimates, sending its shares down 5%.
On the macro front, March retail sales surprised to the upside, rising 1.4% month-over-month — topping forecasts of 1.3% and marking the strongest monthly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44837237/march-retail-sales-post-highest-surge-in-over-two-years-as-us-consumers-anticipate-tariff-jitters">gain since January 2023.</a>
Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar saw renewed selling pressure, with the dollar index dipping back below 100. Treasury yields were little changed, with the 10-year yield holding steady near 4.33%.
Gold continued its stellar run, surging 2.5% to a fresh record high of $3,320 per ounce as demand for safe-haven assets remains robust.
In commodities, oil prices rebounded sharply, with WTI crude climbing 2% to $62 a barrel. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also edged up 1.3% to around $84,500.
All eyes are now on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who is set to speak at the Economic Club of Chicago later this afternoon.

Nvidia Drags Wall Street Down, Gold Defies Gravity Ahead Of Powell Remarks: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) shares were trading higher by 2.1% to $41.67 at Wednesday&#8217;s open, before pulling back. The stock was potentially moving higher in early trading in sympathy with peer United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44826858/united-airlines-stock-takes-off-on-q1-earnings-strong-q2-forecast-fy-guidance-for-stable-and-recessionary-environments-impossible-to-predict">better-than-expected</a> first-quarter EPS results and guidance.
What To Know: Despite United narrowly missing revenue estimates, its earnings per share of 91 cents surpassed forecasts, driven by double-digit gains across premium cabin, cargo and loyalty revenue.
For Delta, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44833164/united-airlines-to-cut-back-on-flights-this-summer-as-it-anticipates-decline-in-demand">United's performance</a> points to positive industry-wide trends, particularly in high-margin segments where Delta is a market leader. United's growth in premium and business travel—up 9.2% and 7.4% respectively—indicates corporate demand recovery, a critical revenue stream for Delta's flagship transcontinental and international routes.

Additionally, United's improved cost efficiency, highlighted by a 3.4% decline in CASM, bodes well for Delta, which has aggressively managed expenses amid rising capacity.
Strong free cash flow and confident 2025 earnings guidance—$11.50–$13.50 per share in a stable economy—further suggest resilient travel demand. Investors are likely extrapolating similar tailwinds for Delta, whose financials and customer loyalty programs often outperform peers.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy DAL Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Delta Air Lines &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Delta Air Lines, which is trading at $41.18 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 2.43 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, DAL has a 52-week high of $69.98 and a 52-week low of $34.74.

What's Going On With Delta Air Lines (DAL) Shares?

In the current market session, United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) share price is at $68.88, after a 2.81% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 7.46%, but in the past year, spiked by 33.96%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Comparing United Airlines Holdings P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
United Airlines Holdings has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 11.56 of the Passenger Airlines industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744815624_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Market-Moving News for April 16th

United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) said it will roll back its flight operations this summer as the company readies itself for a decline in air travel.
What Happened: In a full-year forecast released by the company, United Airlines announced it will cut its flight schedule by 4% starting in July, owing to softer customer demand.
The airline also announced it will retire 21 older aircraft from its fleet as well as scale back on off-peak flights on days with lower demand for air travel, which the company says is part of ‘prudent adjustments to the utilization rate of its fleet'.
The airlines also offered two forecasts — one scenario outlined a stable economy whilst the other outlined a ‘recessionary environment'. United said it earned $0.91 per share in Q1 2025.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as United recorded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44826858/united-airlines-stock-takes-off-on-q1-earnings-strong-q2-forecast-fy-guidance-for-stable-and-recessionary-environments-impossible-to-predict">over $13.21 billion</a> in revenue for the quarter, amid uncertainty as Donald Trump's tariffs wreak havoc in the global markets.
Delta Airlines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44671680/which-us-airline-is-facing-the-strongest-industry-tailwinds">being the leader</a> in the sector, experienced a surge in stock value after the Donald Trump administration announced a 90-day halt on all tariffs, which had cast doubts over the company's 2025 plans.
However, the aviation industry in the U.S. faces uncertainty with China imposing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44831116/kimbal-musk-warns-of-boeings-decline-amid-us-china-decoupling-fewer-planes-pricier-parts-and-lost-jobs-as-airbus-gains-ground">halt on all imports </a>of aircraft made by manufacturer Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) into the country.
Boeing could face another challenge as it grapples with a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44811150/faulty-bathroom-latches-could-cost-boeing-34-million-following-faa-directive">$3.4 million in modification costs</a> to its fleet as the FAA proposes an airworthiness report after it reviewed an incident involving a Boeing aircraft where a passenger got stuck in the onboard lavatory.
Price action: UAL stock experienced a 29.79% YTD in value and currently trades for $67.00 on the NASDAQ, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Tuesday's After-Market Session

United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) reported first-quarter financial results after the market close on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at the key metrics from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44825487/united-airlines-reports-best-first-quarter-financial-performance-in-five-years-despite-challenging">airline company&#8217;s report</a>.
Q1 Earnings: United Airlines reported first-quarter revenue of $13.21 billion, missing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst estimates</a>&nbsp;of $13.25 billion. The company reported adjusted first-quarter earnings of 91 cents per share, beating estimates of 76 cents per share, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Here&#8217;s a breakdown of year-over-year revenue growth by category:
<ul>
<li>Premium Cabin revenue: up 9.2% </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Business revenue: up 7.4%</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Basic Economy revenue: up 7.6%</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Cargo revenue: up 9.7%</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Loyalty revenue: up 9.4%</li>
</ul>
Capacity was up 4.9% on a year-over-year basis. TRASM (total revenue per available seat mile) was up 0.5% while CASM (cost per available seat mile) declined 3.4%. Average fuel price per gallon was $2.53 during the quarter.
United said it generated $3.7 billion of operating cash flow and $2.3 billion of free cash flow in the period. The company ended the quarter with $18.3 billion in total liquidity and $27.7 billion in total debt, finance lease obligations and other financial liabilities.
&#8220;Our strategy coming out of the COVID pandemic was simple: Build the best airline in the world to attract brand-loyal customers. The people of United Airlines have executed and built that airline,&#8221; said&nbsp;Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines. 
&#8220;United Next is on track and we will continue to execute our multiyear plan that has allowed United to thrive in any demand environment. It has given us industry-leading margins in the good times and we expect to expand our lead further in challenging economic times.&#8221;

Guidance: United estimated second-quarter adjusted earnings in the range of $3.25 to $4.25 per share.
The airline company sees its ability to win brand-loyal customers as a competitive advantage that will allow it to remain "resilient" in any economic environment.
The company noted that it expects resilient earnings in both the second quarter and full-year 2025.
In response to the current demand environment, United plans to remove four percentage points of scheduled domestic capacity beginning in the third quarter. The company will also make &#8220;prudent&#8221; adjustments to its fleet rate utilization and retire aircraft earlier than planned, as previously announced.
United also provided two sets of guidance for full-year 2025. The company anticipates full-year 2025 adjusted earnings of $11.50 to $13.50 per share in a &#8220;stable environment.&#8221; United expects full-year earnings of $7 to $9 per share in a &#8220;recessionary environment.&#8221;
&#8220;The Company's outlook is dependent on the macro environment, which the Company believes is impossible to predict this year with any degree of confidence,&#8221; United said in an investor update.
United Airlines executives will further discuss the quarter on a call with investors and analysts Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. ET.
UAL Price Action:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UAL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Airlines shares</a>&nbsp;were down about 31% year-to-date heading into the report.

UAL stock is showing a technically bearish setup, with the stock trading below its five-day, 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages — a signal of downward momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reading of a negative 5.62 further confirms this trend, indicating a loss of positive momentum and reinforcing the current bearish sentiment.
Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 43.48, hovering above the oversold threshold of 30. This suggests that while the stock isn&#8217;t deeply oversold yet, it remains under modest selling pressure.
From a simple moving average standpoint, UAL stock, at $65.69 is below its 20-day SMA of $69.09, 50-day SMA of $84.15 and 200-day SMA of $73.87 — each flashing bearish technical signals. However, the current price is above its 8-day simple moving average of $62.21, hinting at a possible near-term bullish reversal.
For investors, this setup suggests caution in the short term, as longer-term indicators continue to lean bearish, but the short-term bounce could offer opportunities for nimble traders watching for signs of a reversal.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">United Airlines&#8217; Analysts See 44% Upside</h2>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UAL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The consensus analyst rating</a> on UAL stock stands at a Buy currently with a price target of $87.65. The three most recent analyst ratings for UAL stock — from Evercore ISI Group, Barclays and Susquehanna — suggest an average price target of $94.67. This implies a 44.16% upside from the current level.
UAL Stock Price Action: UAL stock closed the trading day Monday at $65.59, up 0.14%.

United Airlines Stock Hits Resistance Before Q1 Earnings: Can Analyst Optimism Fuel A Rebound?

The number of Canadian tourists visiting the U.S. has taken a significant hit, potentially resulting in a $6 billion economic loss for the year, as per reports.
What Happened: The number of Canadians traveling to the U.S. has seen a notable decline. According to Statistics Canada, road trips—which make up the bulk of Canadian visits—dropped by 32% in March compared to the same month in 2024. Air travel also fell, with a 13.5% decrease reported.
The U.S. Travel Association (USTA) had earlier cautioned that even a 10% drop in Canadian tourism could lead to a $2.1 billion loss and put 140,000 jobs in jeopardy in the hospitality and associated sectors. If the decline of over 30% in Canadian visitors persists, it could result in over $6 billion in losses to the U.S. economy in 2025, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2025/04/14/canadian-travel-usa-boycott-escalates/">Forbes </a>reported.
This downturn marks&nbsp;the third straight month of&nbsp;significant declines in Canadian car travel to the U.S., following a 23% year-on-year&nbsp;decline in car travel and&nbsp;a 2.4% reduction in air&nbsp;travel in February. This trend started&nbsp;after President Donald Trump announced&nbsp;tariffs and referred to Canada as &#8220;the 51st state&#8221;.

Why It Matters: The decline in Canadian tourism <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44592941/canadian-tourism-decline-poses-risk-to-us-airlines-hotels-and-theme-parks-details">was anticipated</a> to have a significant impact on U.S. airlines, hotels, and theme parks. Goldman Sachs analyst Lizzie Dove had warned that a 10% decline could result in 2 million fewer visits and&nbsp;$2.1 billion in lost spending&nbsp;to the U.S.
As a result of this, United Airlines&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and Delta&nbsp;Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) which have significant partnerships with Air Canada and WestJet, respectively, are cutting down on Canada-U.S. flights while also reducing capacity in this route, as per Visual Approach Analytics.
Moreover, the &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44766548/us-brands-poised-to-lose-billions-of-dollars-in-sales-as-buy-canadian-movement-grows">Buy Canadian</a>&#8216; movement, which started in response to President Trump&#8217;s tariff threats, has been gaining momentum since early 2025. This movement, which encourages Canadians to buy from domestic brands rather than American brands, has begun to impact many U.S. retailers. 
According to Reuters, Canada imported $350 billion worth of U.S.-made goods in 2024, making it the United States&#8217; top trading partner. If the boycotts persist, brands risk losing billions of dollars in sales this year.
The shares of United Airlines plunged more than 11% over the past month, while Delta Air Lines stock lost nearly 24% over the last six months, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Canadian Travel To US Nosedives: Road Trips Down 32%, Air Travel Slips 13.5% — Report Warns Of Over $6 Billion In Economic Losses

U.S. stock futures were volatile on Tuesday following a two-day advance. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed in premarket.
Donald Trump hinted at helping the car companies while talking to reporters in his Oval Office on Monday. He explained that automakers require a transition period to shift production from Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere.
&#8220;And they need a little bit of time because they're going to make them here, but they need a little bit of time. So I'm talking about things like that,&#8221; he said.
Stocks advanced for two consecutive days after he exempted smartphones, computers, and semiconductors from the reciprocal tariffs on Friday. However, he hinted that he may look at levying duties on the chips imported into the U.S. on Sunday in a Truth Social post.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.38% and the two-year bond was at 3.86%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing an 82.7% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said that she sees a &#8220;light at the end of the tunnel,&#8221; despite the ongoing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44807265/cathie-wood-says-shock-therapy-from-trumps-trade-moves-may-end-prolonged-economic-slump"> tariff turmoil</a>. According to Wood, tariffs could be the catalyst to end a three-year "rolling recession."
She said that Trump&#8217;s decision to bring Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent into the process indicates a move to reduce both tariffs and non-tariff trade obstacles. She contends this shift wouldn&#8217;t have occurred without the initial &#8220;shock therapy&#8221; of aggressive trade measures.
The slowdown caused by the tariff introduction will give the administration and the Federal Reserve "more degrees of freedom to stimulate than most investors have been expecting,&#8221; she said.
This will create a "clarion call" for tax cuts, deregulation, and lower interest rates, ultimately paving the way for economic recovery, Wood added.

The analysts at BlackRock extended their tactical horizon back to six to 12 months and resumed their positive view on U.S., while still expecting the &#8220;ongoing risk asset volatility and potentially sharp reversals.&#8221;
Spiking yields in long-term U.S. Treasuries seemed to be a factor in the change in tariff tactics, the weekly note stated.
&#8220;We stay underweight long-term Treasuries, our highest conviction view: tariffs are likely to add to already sticky inflation, and congressional budget plans last week reinforce the outlook for persistent budget deficits. We favor gold instead as a portfolio diversifier.&#8221;
According to BlackRock, the broad-based equity selloff has created opportunities to tap into certain sectors, and &#8220;selectivity is key.&#8221;
&#8220;We still like U.S. technology benefitting from the AI buildout and adoption. We also favor global banks. That includes U.S. banks given the scope for deregulation even with some potential economic pain.&#8221;
