TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate UAL as a TOP PICK.  Earnings will be released around mid-month and the market has already factored in a 7% decline in EPS.  As customer air miles travelled is set to hit an all time high, we think this is a good time to add to our previous guidance.  It trades at 7x earnings, 2x book and supports a robust 33% ROE.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $54) to $63, looking to achieve $99 -- upside potential of 23%.  Yield 0%

(Analysts’ price target is $98.95)
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. 

BUY

It's replaced Delta as the best US airline. Their outlook is positive. Is -38% from January highs and trading under 6x PE.

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)
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.
