United Airlines Posts Q3 EPS of $3.14
UAL sits 16% above its 52-week low of $84.642.
Summary
United reported Q3 earnings per share of $3.14, alongside adjusted EPS of $2.54, on revenue of $17.9B, which came in just below the IBES estimate of USD 17,902 million. Capacity rose 1.3% and traffic was up 0.7% in the quarter, and the airline delivered record 17% revenue growth in Q3 while expecting record Q4 revenue growth, underpinned by accelerating customer investments. Context matters: Q2 net income fell 17% to $805M as fuel costs jumped 84%, and management has already flagged December flight cuts and possible further trims into Q1 2027 if fuel stays high. That makes Q4 guidance and any fuel-cost commentary the real swing factor, not the headline number. Shares sit near $98 versus the $119-$121 range where insiders sold this summer.
