Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in United Airlines Holdings

Is a recession quietly taxiing down the runway? In March, airfare prices dropped 5.3% year-over-year, the sharpest decline in nearly four years, according to the<a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cpi.pdf"> Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>.&nbsp;
The drop came as major U.S. airlines — including Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), Southwest Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>), United Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), and Alaska Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) — warned of weaker-than-expected demand, spurred by economic uncertainty, stalled business travel, and global volatility.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Slashed Fares, Shaky Forecasts, And A Bumpy Ride Ahead</h2>
&#8220;Like others in the industry, we&#8217;ve seen lower fare levels being booked for April and throughout the summer,&#8221; Alaska Airlines CFO Shane Tackett told Reuters in an <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/alaska-air-pulls-its-2025-outlook-sees-weaker-profit-second-quarter-2025-04-23/">interview</a> published last month. Though he emphasized that demand hadn't collapsed, Tackett confirmed the airline had to reduce fares to keep planes full.
Robert Isom, CEO of American Airlines, echoed the concern during the company's quarterly <a href="https://americanairlines.gcs-web.com/events/event-details/q1-2025-american-airlines-group-inc-earnings-conference-call">earnings call </a>on April 24. "The economic uncertainty in the market has pressured demand and impacted America&#8217;s first-quarter results and second-quarter outlook," he told analysts, prompting the airline to pull its 2025 guidance.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian said during the company's April 9 <a href="https://s2.q4cdn.com/181345880/files/doc_earnings/2025/q1/transcript/CORRECTED-TRANSCRIPT_-Delta-Air-Lines-Inc-DAL-US-Q1-2025-Earnings-Call.pdf">earnings call</a>, highlighting measures taken in response to economic uncertainties. These include deferring aircraft deliveries and maintaining flat capacity growth for the second half of 2025. Bastian noted that corporate travel, which had been trending up 10% year-over-year at the start of 2025, has now flattened.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
Meanwhile, United Airlines took a split-scenario approach. In an <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/319687/000010051725000013/ual_12312024erex992.htm">investor update</a> filed with the SEC in January, the airline issued two 2025 profit forecasts: one showing earnings per share between $11.50 and $13.50 if the economy holds steady, and another EPS of $7 to $9 in a recession. Starting in July, United plans to reduce domestic capacity by 4%.
This domestic softness comes at a time when business travel budgets are also tightening. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/airlines/business-travel-expenses-decline-trade-war-7b0ac8b4">The Wall Street Journal</a> reported that companies like Invesco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVZ#NYSE">IVZ</a>) and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) are trimming non-essential travel due to cost pressures and diminished ROI from face-to-face meetings.
Despite the turbulence at home, premium and international travel segments are staying aloft. United Airlines saw a <a href="https://ir.united.com/static-files/eac79d3d-fdbc-4c6d-97f2-109769c238a8">17% jump in premium booking</a>s and 5% rise in international sales. Delta is also leaning into loyalty programs and premium cabin sales.

In the current market session, United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) stock price is at $77.36, after a 2.07% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 16.68%, and in the past year, by 40.72%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Evaluating United Airlines Holdings P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
United Airlines Holdings has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 14.65 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/2025/1747328447_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.

'United Air Warns Flyers of Reduced Newark Service Through Summer'- Bloomberg

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) shares are trading higher on Tuesday after the company revealed its new United Elevated interior for incoming Boeing 787-9 aircraft targeting the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45371239" rel="noreferrer noopener">international premium travel market</a>.
The highlights include two new, larger Polaris Studio suites (8 total) with privacy doors, a companion ottoman, premium amenities (including Ossetra caviar), wireless charging, Bluetooth, and a massive 27-inch 4K OLED screen (the largest among U.S. carriers).
Standard United Polaris seats are also being upgraded to suites with sliding doors and larger 19-inch 4K OLED screens.

All United Polaris business class passengers will continue to have access to the airline&#8217;s six award-winning United Polaris lounges.
The company anticipates receiving its first Boeing 787-9 with the Elevated interior before the close of 2025, with the inaugural international passenger flights scheduled for 2026 from San Francisco to Singapore and San Francisco to London.
The initial deliveries of 787-9 aircraft with the Elevated interior will have 8 Polaris Studio suites (1-2-1), 56 Polaris suites (1-2-1, window/center or aisle-facing options), 35 Premium Plus seats (2-3-2, most in fleet), and 123 Economy/Economy Plus seats (3-3-3).
This differs from the current 787-9s with 48 Polaris, 21 Premium Plus, 39 Economy Plus, and 149 Economy seats.
Notably, United has invested over $150 million in enhancing its food and beverage offerings this year.
&#8220;We already deliver a superior international experience and fly to the most places across the Atlantic and Pacific &#8211; these new innovations provide a more premium experience overall, give customers even more reasons to choose United, and set our airline up to grow into the next decade and beyond,&#8221; said&nbsp;Andrew Nocella, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer at United.
In April, the company reported&nbsp;first-quarter&nbsp;revenue of&nbsp;$13.21 billion, missing&nbsp;analyst estimates of&nbsp;$13.25 billion and adjusted EPS of 91 cents per share, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44826858" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating estimates of 76 cents per share</a>.
Price Action: UAL shares are up 3.02% to $81.00 at the last check on Tuesday.

Shares of travel and leisure stocks are trading higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could reduce economic uncertainty that has been clouding travel and spending outlook.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reportedly considering reducing the number of flights operating out of New Jersey's Newark Airport.
What Happened: The agency is set to meet with officials from several U.S. airlines to discuss scaling back flights out of Newark following disruptions caused by equipment malfunctions as well as staff shortages, CNBC reported <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/11/newark-airport-flight-cuts-ahead-after-wee.html">on</a> Sunday.
"What you see in Newark is going to happen in other places across the country. It needs to be fixed," U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, according to the report.
Equipment outages caused air traffic controllers to lose communication as well as flight monitoring capabilities for over 90 seconds last month. There were also delays to over 1,000 flights due to equipment failures, the report suggests. The event also led to several staff members going on leave.
Questions have been raised over the aging air traffic infrastructure, which could reportedly cost over $31 billion to revamp, as well as more hiring of air traffic controllers, the report said.
"In ideal weather, with full staffing and with perfectly functioning technology, the FAA tells us that the airport (Newark) can only handle 77 flights per hour. And yet, the FAA regularly approves schedules of 80+ flights per hour almost every day between 3:00 pm and 8:00 p.m.," United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) CEO Scott Kirby told employees in a note, according to the report.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as the U.S. aviation industry is dealing with a difficult quarter, as analysts have<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/45020724/airlines-face-significant-pressure-analysts-adjust-expectations-after-q1-results"> reset price targets </a>for several U.S. airlines following quarterly results.
American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) recently announced it was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44982328/american-airlines-flies-into-uncertainty-q1-revenue-miss-2025-outlook-pulled-but-debt-plan-on-track?_gl=1&#x2A;1yry3sk&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;NTM5OTQ2NTE5LjE3NDcwMjQyNzY.&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;R1MyLjEuczE3NDcwMzM3NzAkbzIkZzEkdDE3NDcwMzM3NzAkajAkbDAkaDA.&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;czE3NDcwMzM1MzkkbzMkZzEkdDE3NDcwMzQyNzAkajAkbDAkaDA.">pulling its 2025 outlook </a>as the airline's operating revenue declined slightly to $12.55 billion, a 0.15% YoY decline.
Elsewhere, JetBlue Airways Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) is reportedly in talks with United Airlines over a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45093263/jetblue-in-talks-with-united-airlines-over-possible-partnership-report">possible partnership</a> between the two companies.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning United Airlines Holdings Stock In The Last 5 Years

Shares of major U.S. airlines rose Monday as oil prices fell following OPEC+'s decision to ramp up production. American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) surged 3.56% to $10.94, Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) gained 3.12% to $45.67, and United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) rose 2.2% to $75.70.
What To Know: The rally comes after WTI crude futures <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">dropped nearly 2%</a>, settling just below $57 per barrel. The decline was triggered by OPEC+'s announcement that it will increase oil production by 411,000 barrels per day in June, adding to similar hikes in April and May.
Altogether, the bloc has reversed nearly half of the voluntary cuts made since 2022, aiming to discipline overproducing members like Iraq and Kazakhstan and reclaim market share.

Lower oil prices are a major tailwind for airlines, which count jet fuel—closely tied to crude prices—as one of their largest operating expenses. Falling fuel costs can significantly improve profit margins, especially for carriers operating on thin margins like American.
With oil now trading well below the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">$65 per barrel</a> threshold, investors on Monday are likely betting that airlines will benefit disproportionately from the energy market shift—explaining Monday's broad gains across the sector.
