The three main indexes finished Wednesday trading higher for the second consecutive session.UnitedHealth (UNH), GE Aerospace (GE), Abbott Laboratories (ABT), Prologis (PLD), US Bancorp (USB), State Street (STT) and Citizens Financial (CFG) are expected to report their latest financial results before the bell, among others.

Earlier in the week, an official report showed that consumer prices decreased last month for the first time in more than six years."While still nominally elevated at a dangerously high level, the relative improvement in inflation in June emboldens the more dovish argument that price pressures are already cooling and could retreat further into year-end as the lingering impact from tariffs falls off and energy prices potentially normalize amid -- still tentative -- but ongoing, US-Iran peace negotiations," Stifel said in a note Wednesday.US Treasury yields were up in premarket action, with the two-year rate increasing 3.2 basis points to 4.16% and the 10-year rate adding 2.8 basis points to 4.57%.Thursday's economic calendar also has the weekly jobless claims bulletin at 8:30 am, along with the Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index for July.

Separately, New York Fed President John Williams said that inflation should ease in the next few quarters as energy prices retreat.West Texas Intermediate crude oil dipped less than 0.1% to $79.59 a barrel before the open, while Brent nudged down 0.3% to $84.72.The US Central Command said Wednesday its forces disabled an unladen oil tanker attempting to transit towards an Iranian port in the Arabian Gulf. The US resumed its naval blockade on Iranian ships and ports earlier this week.A spokesperson for Iran's top military command reportedly said Thursday that it will destroy key infrastructure in the Middle East if the US follows through on President Donald Trump's threat to attack power plants and bridges in the country in case a deal isn't finalized, CNBC reported.Gold decreased 0.3% to $4,039 per troy ounce, while bitcoin fell 1.1% to $64,176.

United Airlines Raises Full-Year Earnings Outlook, Flags $6 Billion in Additional Fuel Costs Amid Rising Oil Prices

United Airlines (UAL) raised the low end of its full-year earnings outlook and reported upbeat second-quarter results, but the air carrier warned that rising oil prices are expected to add nearly $6 billion to its fuel costs this year, sending its shares lower early Thursday.The company anticipates about $6 billion in added fuel expense for 2026 based on oil prices as of Tuesday, compared with expectations at the start of the year, it said late Wednesday. United Airlines forecasts an all-in average fuel price of about $3.69 per gallon in the ongoing three-month period.The stock was down 2.3% in the most recent premarket activity.Crude prices are rising following renewed tensions between the US and Iran, just weeks after the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding to end their war that began at the end of February.In the second quarter, fuel expense was up $2.3 billion, or 84% year over year. United Airlines said it recovered approximately half of this increase. The company expects to recover about 80% to 90% of the increase in the current quarter and all of it in the subsequent period.United Airlines now estimates adjusted earnings to be in a range of $9 to $11 per share for 2026, reflecting a higher bottom end than the previous guidance of $7. The company said it expects to be above the high end of the guidance if fuel prices return to their levels seen in early July. The current consensus on FactSet is for non-GAAP EPS of $10.47.The company's adjusted EPS fell to $1.99 in the June quarter from $3.87 the year before, but topped the Street's view for $1.91. Operating revenue climbed 16% to $17.67 billion, surpassing the average analyst estimate of $17.62 billion.Domestic passenger revenue advanced 20% to $9.51 billion, while international passenger revenue improved 11% to $6.59 billion, amid gains across the majority of regions. Cargo revenue grew 23% on a yearly basis, according to the company.Total revenue per available seat mile rose 12% year over year while capacity increased 3.5%. Cost per available seat mile grew 15.2%, while unit costs excluding fuel moved 6.1% higher. Fuel price per gallon surged 79% on a yearly basis to $4.19.Last week, Delta Air Lines (DAL) reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter results and reiterated its full-year earnings outlook.For the ongoing quarter, United Airlines anticipates adjusted EPS to come in between $2.50 and $3.50. The Street is currently looking for non-GAAP EPS of $3.50. The company expects unit revenue growth in the third and fourth quarters to exceed the pace seen in the second quarter.

US Airlines Seen Setting Q3 Profit Guidance Above Consensus, UBS Says

US airlines are expected to issue above-consensus earnings guidance for the third quarter, while second-quarter profit likely met expectations, UBS Securities said Tuesday in a report.Jet fuel prices have fallen about 30% in the past month, and travel demand has stayed firm even as fares rose, the report said. Fuel costs had surged on Middle East supply disruptions, and prices have since eased after the US-Iran agreement to halt fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.With fuel pressure easing from a year earlier and fares higher than in the second quarter, UBS expects revenue growth to accelerate in the third quarter.While there are some unit-cost headwinds for certain carriers, "the positive revenue and fuel dynamics are driving the expected EPS upside" for the third quarter," the report said.UBS projects low-double-digit to mid-teens revenue growth for major US airlines in the second quarter, with broadly in-line earnings.Demand remained solid through the quarter, consistent with company outlooks, and jet fuel generally tracked guidance assumptions, the report said.UBS named American Airlines Group (AAL) and United Airlines Holdings (UAL) as its top picks ahead of second-quarter results. American's profitability is highly sensitive to fuel prices and should benefit from strong industry demand, while United has "meaningful earnings upside" from revenue momentum and lower fuel costs, with room for full-year guidance to move higher, the report said.UBS reiterated its buy ratings on Delta Air Lines (DAL), Southwest Airlines (LUV) and Alaska Air Group (ALK).Price: $16.13, Change: $+0.05, Percent Change: +0.31%

Airlines Gain on Pricing as 'Capacity Discipline' Becomes Key Into Summer, BofA Says

Airlines are benefiting from strong demand, rising fares and lower fuel costs alongside flat capacity, with future gains hinging on whether "capacity discipline" holds as comparisons tighten into the summer, BofA Securities said Monday in a report.The Airline Fare Consumer Price Index in May rose almost 27% from a year earlier, and the Air Passenger Services Producer Price Index increased 14%, the report said. The Airline Reporting Corp.'s average ticket price rose more than 18%, with economy fares continuing to outperform premium cabins for a third straight month, BofA said.Into June, Bank of America's "aggregated credit and debit card data suggests momentum remains intact, with airline spending returning to double-digit growth, supported by strength in spend per transaction," the report said.Near-term comparisons will tighten as the industry enters peak summer, following an easier Q2 backdrop, BofA said. Late June and July will be key in determining whether current demand strength can persist as comparisons from a year earlier normalize, the report said.BofA raised its price target to $93 from $78 on Delta Air Lines (DAL), to $145 from $140 on United Airlines (UAL), and to $16 from $14 on American Airlines (AAL).Delta shares rose 1.8% in Monday trading, United climbed 0.9%, and American advanced 2.8%.Price: $85.72, Change: $+1.54, Percent Change: +1.83%

Research Alert: CFRA Raises Opinion On Shares Of United Airlines Holdings, Inc To Buy From Hold

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Oil prices have retreated ~15% from May's $108 high. We upgrade UAL to Buy from Hold, raise our price target by $28 to $128, and lift our 2026 EPS to $11.07 from $11.02 and 2027's to $14.20 from $13.33. Our target reflects 9x 2027 EPS (from 7.5x), and our multiple expansion reflects increased confidence in UAL's ability to offset fuel headwinds through pricing and capacity optimization. Q1 business revenue rose 14% Y/Y, and UAL expects full fuel cost recapture by 4Q. We see opportunity for UAL to retain strong unit revenues post-spike. We favor UAL's industry-leading unit cost performance, led by fixed cost leverage across the largest fleet and geographic diversification. Domestic trends remain solid, with UAL noting no customer pushback on higher fares. Capacity is largely set for 2Q, with 3Q/4Q guided flat to +2% Y/Y depending on fuel. While oil remains a key variable, UAL's operational execution and pricing power position it favorably. Key risk is demand softening if macro conditions deteriorate.

Equity Markets Rebound Following Fed Minutes; Yields Tumble

US stocks rebounded Wednesday as traders parsed minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy meeting, while Treasury yields slid.The Nasdaq Composite rose 1.5% to 26,270.4, while the S&P 500 advanced 1.1% to 7,433, both rising after a three-day fall. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 1.3% to 50,009.4. Most sectors ended in the green, led by consumer discretionary, while energy saw the biggest drop.Fed officials flagged the possibility of higher interest rates if the Middle East conflict drags on and keeps inflation above the 2% goal, minutes from the central bank's April meeting showed.Meeting participants generally determined that elevated inflation, combined with uncertainty around the duration and impact of the Iran war, could justify holding rates for longer than previously anticipated, the meeting minutes showed.However, majority of Fed officials pointed out "that some policy firming would likely become appropriate if inflation were to continue to run persistently above 2%.""The discussion at the April meeting suggests the (Federal Open Market Committee) is becoming increasingly worried about the inflation outlook," Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, said in a report. "While it is in no rush to raise rates, that possibility will only grow if inflation remains stubbornly high."Treasury yields plunged in Wednesday late-afternoon trade, with the 10-year yield rate declining 9.6 basis points to 4.58% and the two-year rate retreating 7.4 basis points to 4.05%.Bond yields have surged amid mounting concerns about inflation. Higher yields drove a sell-off in stocks on Tuesday, according to Macquarie."The state of play now and following the end of earnings season, is that stock indexes are likely to remain sensitive to what happens to long-term yields," Macquarie said in note Wednesday. "Should yields go higher (for whatever reason), stocks will slip further."West Texas Intermediate crude oil was last down 5.5% at $98.47 a barrel, while Brent fell 5.6% to $105.03.US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that negotiations with Iran had reached the final stages, though he warned of further attacks if Tehran backs out, according to a Reuters report.Shares of airlines and cruise operators were notable gainers on Wednesday, with United Airlines (UAL) up 10%, the top gainer on S&P 500. Delta Air Lines (DAL) jumped 9.4%, among the best performers on the index, along with Carnival (CCL) and Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH).In other company news, Hasbro (HAS) reported a first-quarter operating loss for the consumer products division even as the toymaker delivered stronger-than-expected results at the consolidated level. The stock slid 8.8%, the worst performer on the S&P 500.Target (TGT) shares fell 3.9%, among the steepest declines on the S&P 500.

US Consumers' Air Travel Intentions Largely Steady Despite High Fuel Cost, UBS Survey Shows

US consumers' air travel intentions for leisure purposes leveled off in March year over year despite higher fuel costs and geopolitical concerns, UBS Securities said in a note sent Tuesday.The brokerage conducted a survey of 6,877 consumers across the world, including 1,754 in the US, from March to early April.Crude oil prices soared after the US and Israel launched attacks against Iran at the end of February, disrupting shipments through the crucial Strait of Hormuz.Plans to undertake leisure travel in the US over the next 12 months slipped to 82.8% from 83.1% a year ago, but remained above March 2024 levels, the survey results showed. Business travel intentions decreased on an annual basis, but rose from two years ago."The key takeaway was that intentions among US consumers to undertake leisure and business travel over the next 12 months remain high," UBS analysts, including Atul Maheswari, wrote in the note. "The survey results show that significantly more US consumers expect to increase spend in the next 12 months than spend less on their trips -- a trend that's consistent with last year's survey."There was an annual moderation in those citing plans to travel more with large US carriers Delta Air Lines (DAL), United Airlines (UAL), American Airlines (AAL), and Southwest Airlines (LUV), according to UBS. However, the number of consumers willing to travel about the same with each of the four airlines increased.Most consumers consider price as the most important factor when purchasing airline tickets for leisure travel, while about half of the survey respondents look at destination and airline brand, according to UBS."Airline brand was meaningfully more important than (three) years ago as was seat class. This should bode well for the larger airlines with a stronger loyalty/premium offering," Maheswari said, referring to Delta, United, American, and Alaska Air (ALK).Price: $68.35, Change: $-1.89, Percent Change: -2.69%
