Da Citigroup a United Airlines: i titoli chiave da tenere d&#39;occhio oggi

Wall Street posted fresh all-time highs this week, fueled by a relentless rally in Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which became the first company in history to surpass a $4 trillion market capitalization, igniting optimism across the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech"> tech and AI sectors.</a>
The chipmaker extended its winning streak to a seventh straight week — and the 11th in the last 12 — nearly doubling its share price from early April lows in just over three months.
This surge pushed the combined market value of the so-called Magnificent Seven — Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) — to a staggering $18.3 trillion.

President Donald Trump reignited trade war concerns, announcing a 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting Aug. 1. He also proposed blanket tariffs of 15% to 20% on most other U.S. trading partners. Additionally, the administration unveiled 50% duties on copper and Brazilian goods, all set to kick in on the same day.
Trump also escalated his feud with the Federal Reserve. On Wednesday, he called for an aggressive three-percentage-point rate cut, arguing that each point costs the U.S. $360 billion annually in debt service.
The Fed remains cautious. Minutes from the June 17–18 FOMC meeting revealed that most officials expect to cut rates later this year. Still, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee pushed back, saying debt costs shouldn&#8217;t drive monetary policy. He reiterated the central bank's dual mandate: price stability and full employment.
Airline stocks outperformed this week. Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) surged 12% on Thursday after beating earnings expectations and reaffirming its full-year profit forecast. Optimism spilled over to United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) and American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>), as investors bet on a strong summer quarter for the travel sector.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also broke records, soaring past $118,000. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) — the world's largest crypto-related exchange-traded fund — posted inflows in 12 of the past 13 weeks, reflecting surging institutional interest in the top cryptocurrency.

Wall Street Hits Record Highs As Nvidia Tops $4 Trillion, Trump Ramps Up Trade Tensions: This Week In Markets

WIIM

Shares airline stocks are trading lower amid a rise in oil prices and renewed tariff concerns. The sector may also be pulling back after recently rising on strong earnings from Delta.

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) delivered a jolt of optimism to Wall Street Thursday, as its stock surged 12% after the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings and reinstated its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46341383/delta-air-lines-ceo-confident-in-stronger-2025-as-demand-holds-steady">full-year profit outlook.</a>&nbsp;
The rally led airline stocks higher across the board with investor confidence returning to the sector.&nbsp;
The Details: Delta reported adjusted earnings of $2.10 per share, topping expectations of $2.05.&nbsp;
Passenger revenue surged 26% to $13.88 billion and operating revenue for the quarter was $16.65 billion, above the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">consensus estimate</a> of $16.18 billion.&nbsp;

CEO Ed Bastian told analysts on a conference call Thursday that Delta's premium and loyalty segments continue to show resilience and growth and helped to offset some lingering softness in the main cabin.&nbsp;
"Our core consumer is in good shape and continues to prioritize travel and affinity for Delta's brand has never been stronger," Bastian said.&nbsp;
"This is evidenced by the sustained strength of our premium products and our industry-leading co-brand card with consumer spend growth on the Delta American Express card up double digits in the first half of the year," the CEO added.  
Bastian also said he expects the passage of Trump's tax and spending bill and progress on trade negotiations to restore some economic certainty and stability.&nbsp;
"We expect both consumer and corporate confidence to improve in the second half of the year, creating the environment for travel demand to accelerate," Bastian said on Delta's earnings call.&nbsp;
What Else: Other airline stocks moved higher in sympathy with Delta as investor confidence in the sector grew following the stronger-than-expected earnings report.&nbsp;
Shares of United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) ended Thursday's session 14.3% higher and American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">A AL</a>) stock closed 12.7% higher at $12.94, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Delta Air Lines Weathers The Storm: CEO Expects 'Demand To Accelerate' To Wrap 2025

A quiet day on Wall Street turned into a major win for airline investors Thursday, as Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) surged 12% after posting second-quarter results that topped both earnings and revenue expectations, while indicating a strong demand outlook, sparking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46341383/delta-air-lines-ceo-confident-in-stronger-2025-as-demand-holds-steady">a broad rally across the sector.</a>
Shares of American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) jumped 12.5% and United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) rallied 13.5%. The U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>), which tracks airline stocks, soared 7.2% for its best day since the 90-day tariff pause in April.
Elsewhere, major large-cap averages were little moved. The Nasdaq 100 slipped 0.3% after hitting all-time highs on Wednesday. Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) eased 0.2%, following a 1.8% surge the day before that pushed its market cap to a record-breaking $4 trillion — the largest ever for any company.
Small-cap stocks continued to outperform, with the Russell 2000 touching levels last seen in February. 
A day earlier, President Donald Trump announced sweeping 50% tariffs on imports from Brazil and confirmed the 50% tariff on copper, effective Aug. 1.
iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWZ#NYSE">EWZ</a>) fell 1.6% Thursday, adding to a 1.7% decline on Wednesday. The combined 3.3% drop marked the worst two-day performance for Brazilian equities since early April.
Copper futures surged 2.2% to around $5.60 per pound in reaction, with strength spilling into other industrial metals. Silver rose 1.6%, while palladium gained 3.6%, reflecting expectations of tightening supply.
Crude oil prices declined over 2% as the market absorbed reports that OPEC+ is considering halting its planned production increases starting in October, highlighting concerns about a potential oversupply after the summer. 
In economic news, the U.S. labor market showed continued resilience as initial jobless claims dropped to 237,000 last week, beating forecasts. However, continuing claims rose to 1.965 million, the highest level since 2021.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) traded flat at $111,300 after touching a fresh record of $112,040 on Wednesday.

12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Thursday's Intraday Session

A new report from Hunterbrook Media suggests that semiconductor testing giant Teradyne Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>) is the supplier for the robotic arms of Amazon.com Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) new breakthrough warehouse robot, Vulcan.
What To Know: Following the <a href="https://newsletter.hntrbrk.com/p/breaking-teradyne-tapped-for-amazons?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=2442504&amp;post_id=167962999&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=true&amp;r=69dzc&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email">report</a>, Hunterbrook&#8217;s affiliate investment firm, Hunterbrook Capital, announced it has taken a long position in Teradyne.
Per the report, Amazon has touted its Vulcan robot as a &#8220;step change&#8221; in automation, featuring a &#8220;sense of touch&#8221; that allows it to handle &#8220;picking&#8221; and &#8220;stowing&#8221; tasks previously difficult to automate. 
While Amazon promoted the technology, it had not mentioned that the distinctive robotic limbs are supplied by Universal Robots, a Danish company Teradyne acquired in 2015. 
Hunterbrook Media <a href="https://newsletter.hntrbrk.com/p/breaking-teradyne-tapped-for-amazons?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=2442504&amp;post_id=167962999&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=true&amp;r=69dzc&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email">identified</a> the supplier through photos and videos from Amazon and CNBC, which clearly show the Universal Robots name and logo on the arm. The gripper attached to the arm is made by Robotiq, a company whose products are designed for compatibility with Universal Robots.
The report suggests that with Amazon planning to automate a large portion of the 14 billion items it handles annually, the deal could represent a roughly $400 million opportunity for Teradyne. This comes as the robotics sector is being propelled by collapsing costs and advancements in AI, such as Nvidia Corp&#8217;s platforms which Universal Robots has integrated.
Benzinga Edge Rankings: According to <a href="http://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Edge</a> stock rankings, which score stocks on four critical factors, Teradyne exhibits a mixed profile. The company&#8217;s strongest attribute is its Growth, for which it receives an exceptional score of 87.63. 
However, its Momentum score is notably weak at 10.53. The stock&#8217;s other metrics are average, with a Value score of 52.50 and a Quality score of 59.13.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, TER shares are trading higher by 5.65% to $98.03 Thursday morning. The stock has a 52-week high of $163.20 and a 52-week low of $65.77.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy TER Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Teradyne &#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 Teradyne, which is trading at $98.03 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 1.02 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.

AZZ Posts Better-Than-Expected Earnings, Joins MP Materials, WK Kellogg And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Thursday

Shares of airline stocks are trading higher in sympathy with Delta, which beat Q2 earnings estimates.

United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) shares are climbing higher Thursday morning, drafting on the tailwinds of a strong <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46341383/delta-air-lines-ceo-confident-in-stronger-2025-as-demand-holds-steady">second-quarter</a> earnings report and optimistic forecast from industry leader Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>).
What To Know: Delta&#8217;s stock surged early Thursday after the carrier announced stronger-than-expected second-quarter results, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">adjusted earnings</a> of $2.10 per share on operating revenue of $16.65 billion. The positive performance was fueled by a 26% jump in passenger revenue and continued strength in its premium and loyalty segments.
This strong showing from a major carrier like Delta often signals positive underlying trends for the entire airline industry. Investors anticipate that factors boosting Delta&#8217;s performance, such as resilient travel demand and stabilizing fuel costs, will likely benefit its competitors as well. Consequently, positive investor sentiment surrounding Delta has translated into sympathy gains for United and American.
Adding to the optimism, Delta reinstated its full-year 2025 guidance, projecting earnings per share between $5.25 and $6.25 and free cash flow of $3 billion to $4 billion. 
This confident outlook suggests a sustained period of profitability and stability for the sector, causing investors on Thursday to buy into other major airlines ahead of their own upcoming earnings announcements.
Benzinga Edge Rankings: Based on <a href="http://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Edge</a> rankings, UAL shows an exceptional score for Growth at 99.38, placing it among the top-rated stocks for this metric. The airline also boasts a strong Momentum score of 81.42, suggesting a powerful and sustained upward trend in its stock price.
Complementing this, UAL holds a solid Value score of 76.02, indicating that it is considered reasonably priced based on its financial fundamentals.
AAL presents a mixed financial profile. The airline&#8217;s most favorable metric is its respectable Growth score of 69.72. In contrast, its Value score is more moderate at 45.51, suggesting it is not considered a strong bargain. 
The stock&#8217;s key weakness appears to be its Momentum, which is rated low at 20.61, indicating a lack of positive recent price movement.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, UAL shares are trading higher by 11.7% to $89.55 Thursday morning. AAL shares are meanwhile higher by 6.05% to $12.18.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy UAL Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for United Airlines Holdings &#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 United Airlines Holdings, which is trading at $80.18 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 1.25 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.

12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

The U.S. Senate Wednesday voted 53 to 43 approve Republic Airways CEO Bryan Bedford to head the Federal Aviation Administration.
Bedford, the head of the regional air carrier nominated by President Donald Trump and approved for a five-year-term, will oversee $12.5 billion in funding over five years to remake the aging U.S. air traffic control system passed by Congress last week. Bedford has also pledged to maintain tough oversight of BoeingBA.N, which came under harsh criticism from the National Transportation Safety Board last month for a mid-air emergency involving a new Alaska Airlines ALK.N 737 MAX 9 missing four key bolts.

Deep Dive Into United Airlines Holdings Stock: Analyst Perspectives (7 Ratings)

Reuters Cites Filing Saying United Airlines, JetBlue Ask U.S. Transportation Department To Reject Spirit Airlines Complaint Over Partnership

Bank of America Securities (BofA) outlined a second-quarter 2025 earnings preview for airline companies in an investor note on Tuesday, with a focus on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46082523/whats-going-on-with-airline-stocks-today">second-half 2025 capacity.</a>
Analyst Andrew Didora notes airline management teams have highlighted stability throughout the second quarter 2025.
BofA adds, &#8220;As such, we expect 2Q25 results to be largely in line with outlooks.&#8221;
Looking at trends into the third quarter of 2025, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) throughput has been down, while BAC aggregated debit and credit card data for airline spend has been down slightly more in June than in April/May.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/06/46157240/runway-ready-can-aviation-safety-tech-be-the-next-frontier-for-aerospace-etfs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Runway Ready: Can Aviation Safety Tech Be The Next Frontier For Aerospace ETFs?</a>
So the analyst does not expect a meaningful sequential improvement in revenue trends.
&#8220;We believe investors will be looking for commentary on any green shoots in demand, and any further commentary on 2H25 capacity cuts could be viewed positively,&#8221; he added.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks in Focus</h2>
For Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), BofA sees its balance sheet strength and cost focus, with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ALK/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $60</a>.
For Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>), the analyst says <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ALGT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the $50 price target</a> is reasonable given the positive industry backdrop and Allegiant Travel&#8217;s monopolistic routes. However, Didora sees heightened cost risks for Allegiant given its recent 737 MAX order and pilot labor costs.
American Airlines Group&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $12</a> is based on 5.5x 2025E EBITDAR. The analyst says the target multiple is at a half-turn discount to American Airlines&#8217;s legacy peers, given higher leverage and execution risk.
For Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DAL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BofA analyst believes</a> the network carrier can trade towards the upper end of its historical valuation range (4-6x) over time, given revenue diversification and strong operational execution.
Frontier Group Holdings Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ULCC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $4</a> is based on approximately 6.5x 2026E EBITDAR, adjusted for sale-leaseback gains. This multiple is in line with ultra-low-cost carriers&#8217; historical valuation multiple and ULCC&#8217;s multiple since going public in 2021.
JetBlue Airways Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JBLU/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $3</a> is based on approximately 0.9x EV/Sales multiple, which is in line with the 0.6-1.0x range that airline stocks traded in more difficult economic times, like those in 2008-2009.
&#8220;We believe this is reasonable given JBLU&#8217;s meaningfully depressed earnings and high net leverage,&#8221; the analyst wrote.
Southwest Airlines Co&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LUV/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $26</a> is based on approximately 7.0x 2025E EBITDAR. Given positive yield dynamics across the industry, this target multiple is at the high end of LUV&#8217;s long-term historical average of 6.2x.
United Airlines Holdings Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UAL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $90</a> is based on approximately 5.5x 2025E EBITDAR.
&#8220;Our target multiple is in line with UAL&#8217;s legacy peers. We believe the network carriers can trade towards the high end of their historical valuation ranges (4-6x) given depressed earnings,&#8221; Didora wrote.

Reuters Cites Google Saying Cyber Incidents In Airline Sector Resemble Work Of 'Scattered Spider' Hacking Group

Airline stocks such as Delta Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NASDAQ">DAL</a>) and United Airlines Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) are trading higher Tuesday following a sharp decline in oil prices and growing hopes for a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46068524/israel-says-iran-broke-trump-ceasefire-orders-high-intensity-strikes-on-tehran"> ceasefire between Iran and Israel.</a>
What To Know: The gains come as Brent crude and other oil benchmarks fell sharply. 
The United States Brent Oil Fund (BNO) dropped over 5%; the United States Oil Fund (USO) dropped a similar amount. The selloff in energy markets was driven by President Donald Trump's announcement of a tentative ceasefire between Israel and Iran. If the truce holds, it could reduce the risk of further escalation in the oil-rich Middle East region.
Iran's foreign ministry disputed the existence of a formal agreement. Yet, it also indicated a willingness to halt operations if Israel stops its attacks. Despite the uncertainty, markets are reacting to the possibility that immediate conflict may subside. A resolution could stabilize oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz, a key passage for global crude shipments.
The resulting drop in jet fuel and broader oil prices is potentially seen as a positive development for the airline sector, which is highly sensitive to fuel costs. Additionally, the reduced geopolitical risk may ease concerns around travel demand in international markets. However, with Israel accusing Iran of violating the ceasefire on Tuesday, the situation remains fluid and volatile.
Price Action: Delta shares were up 2.59% at $49.50 and United Arline shares were 2.72% at $79.06 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>
