The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- UAL closes above its 50-day average ($107.57) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($108.02): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $109.31, UAL is 21.2% below its 1-year high of $138.77, set on June 30, 2026, and 29.1% above its 1-year low of $84.64 (March 30, 2026).
- Over the past month UAL fell 2.8%, from $112.51 to $109.31.
- UAL trades at 10.0x its last twelve months of earnings and 9.3x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 7.7% higher.
- Its P/E is 47.3% below the 19.0x median of the 2 other airlines companies we track (DAL, LUV).
- UAL's 30-day volatility, 44.5% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.8%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 1.37: over five years of monthly returns, UAL moved about 1.37% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $107.57 (−1.6%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 0.4% to cross the 200-day at $108.02.
- A close above $138.77 (+27.0%) would be a new 1-year high; below $84.64 (−22.6%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for UAL, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under airlines among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for UAL by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
