United Airlines: Will Take Flight With Global Demand

By -

 

  • The U.S. is set to reopen travel with the U.K. and the EU starting in November pending more details.
  • Atlantic departures remain down 50% from 2019 levels providing some of the best upside to recapture 2019 traffic levels.
  • Back in 2019, United Airlines had 43% of ASMs assigned to international travel.
  • The stock is cheap as a reopening of Atlantic traffic is a big part in the airline recapturing the 2019 EPS levels of $12 in a few years.

While air travel demand cooled off during August, the regulations restricting international travel are on the verge of being relaxed. United Airlines Holdings (UAL) led domestic carriers in international travel prior to the COVID-19 restrictions on flying outside of the domestic market. My investment thesis is very Bullish on the stock after a big sell off leading into a reopening of international travel for the vaccinated.

Update - Oct. 19

The airlines continue to report a strong boost in the business during 2022 while the stocks are still trading at the lows. 

  • United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) shares trade up after the company reports positive Q3 GAAP net income of $0.5B and adjusted EPS of -$1.02, beats by $0.66.
  • Q3 capacity remains below 2019 levels at 28%, while total operating revenue is down 31.9% from the pre-pandemic level.
  • The company plans to capitalize on projected record flying levels in Europe by expanding international capacity by 10% in 2022 compared to 2019 levels while keeping domestic capacity flat. United notes that international margins are steadily improving.
  • "We're solidly on track to achieve the targets we set for 2022," said CEO Scott Kirby. "From the return of business travel and the planned re-opening of Europe and early indications for opening in the Pacific, the headwinds we've faced are turning to tailwinds."

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

By -
Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.

This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More »   Update - June 23, 2023 C3.ai has fallen back to earth after the Investor Day meeting. The Deutsche Bank analyst call on the meeting suggests the company still isn't ready to produce actual numbers from the generative AI demand.  C3.ai ( NYSE: AI ) shares  fell more than 8%  on Friday after investment firm Deutsche Bank reiterated its sell rating on the enterprise software company after it held its investor meeting. Analyst Brad Zelnick said the event "left a lot to be desired" as there were  no details on financials, "limited" updates on the company's operations and investors did not really attend the event, despite it being positioned as for them. "While we appreciate the vast opportunity presented by AI, the event did nothing to ease our skepticism on the true differentiation of the company's platform, its traction with custome
