PARTIAL SELL

Shares have rallied since last fall, so take profits. But remember that all airlines are trades.

DON'T BUY

They report tomorrow and probably will report a loss. Delta which he also owns looks a lot better technically. It comes down to Boeing's delays in delivering 737 Max's.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

As US air travel breaks all time records, we select UAL as a TOP PICK.  The FAA just cleared them to continue expansion plans following the recent spat of flight mishaps.  It trades at 6x earnings, under 2x book and supports a 33% ROE.  Cash reserves are growing, while debt is aggressively retired.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $41, looking to achieve $68 -- upside potential of 30%.  Yield 0% 

(Analysts’ price target is $68.67)

COMMENT

Yesterday, they reported a surprisingly strong quarter with in-line sales, an earnings beat, but share flatlined today. Why? UAL offered 2 sets of guidance--one for a stable economy and the other for a recession. That's a brilliant idea. Bookings could be stable or weaken. Both forecasts are certainly possible.
