Premium contentOur PAST TOP PICK with UAL has triggered its stop at $48. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. Combined with the previous buy recommendations, this will result in a net investment loss of 6%.
Premium contentWe reiterate UAL as a TOP PICK. The company just announced it has purchased land in Denver to expand its pilot training centre. It is already Denver's largest employer, operation 400 flights daily from there. Quarterly cash flow is growing as debt is retired. It trades at 6x earnings, 2.2x book and supports a 45% ROE. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $44) to $48, looking to achieve $71 -- upside potential of 30%. Yield 0%.
