United Airlines Holdings (UAL) has garnered attention from analysts who express a bullish outlook on the airline sector, particularly in light of a post-Covid travel boom. It is noted that the company has experienced a 22% increase in its stock price this year, a trend attributed to its positioning in a duopoly with Delta Airlines. Analysts have provided mixed recommendations, with some suggesting a stop-loss strategy to protect gains after significant price increases, reflecting an overall positive sentiment while maintaining caution. The stock's past performance has led to various target price adjustments, and experts have been advising to cover positions as well as to trail stops to lock in profits. Overall, UAL appears to be a strong contender in the airline space, but analysts recommend disciplined approaches regarding investment strategies.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 29/20, Down 41%) Sold it last March at the bottom of the pandemic. There's no real blame, just circumstance. This speaks to the importance of diversifying one's portfolio. That's life.
COMMENT

They report next week. Airlines need a bailout. It boils down to them getting it or not.

DON'T BUY
Why is it being downgraded while peers are rising? Because business and international travel remain restricted, which limits United's revenues.
DON'T BUY

UAL-Q or DAL-N. The airlines are the most prominent businesses that suffered directly from COVID and it is difficult to know when it will improve. Most of these companies have raised money recently. Both score poorly on most metrics he looks at. He would prefer AC-T over these two as it is liable to get government support. CHR-T also.

DON'T BUY
He bought it a year ago when the fundamentals for airlines were very positive. But he sold this in March during the volatility. There may be a long impact against airlines going forward. You must have a sell discipline divorced from emotion--important.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 21/19, Down 13%) After 9/11, he recalls a money manager urging him to get out of travel stocks, because after 9/11 nobody will travel anymore. But he doesn't think that's true--and it didn't turn out that way. The reason is that people adjust. Also, airlines now are much more efficient businesses, keeping costs down and using technology to sell tickets and pack planes. UAL trades at less than 10x earnings. He likes airlines and UAL is the best.
TOP PICK
The coronavirus makes this a buying opportunity. It trades at a cheap 6x earnings and boasts record levels of passengers it carries. This will come back after the virus scare is over.
TOP PICK
He didn't own an airline until he bought this recently, because airlines were do cyclical. But now the airlines operate so precisely through tech and operate at full capacity far more than before. So, revenue-per-mile is high. This trades at a cheap 8x earnings which are growing. The Boeing 737 Max problem would impair UAL. (Analysts’ price target is $108.47)
