Key Takeaways

The Estimize consensus is calling for earnings per share of $1.52 on $8.91 billion in revenue, 1 cent below Wall Street on the bottom line but right in line on the top

United Continental recently raised its target PRASM range to down 1.25-1.75% from a decline of 3 to 4%

Steadily rising fuel costs plus macroeconomic uncertainty poses a threat to high margin international flights

Airline earnings season is officially underway and going by Delta’s results, other major airlines can expect to hit some turbulence. Delta announced better than expected revenue for the fourth quarter but fell short of analyst’s estimates on the bottom line. Sales figures benefited from lower fuel costs, improving travel trends and greater promotional and discounting campaigns. But discounting also put a damper on margins especially for large airlines which traditionally rely on overpriced flights. Don’t be surprised if United falls into a similar trap when it announces fourth quarter results tomorrow morning.

Analysts at Estimize expect United to post $1.52 per share on the bottom line, reflecting a 43% decline from a year. That estimate increased by 14% since the company’s most recent report in October. Revenue for the period is expected to decline by 2% to $8.91 billion, marking a significant improvement from previous reports in fiscal 2016. The stock typically does its best in the month following an earnings report, increasing by an average of 4%. Like the other airlines, United reports operational performance on a monthly basis. Its most recent reports declared December 2016 traffic increased by 2.6% on a 2.6% increase in average seat miles, compared to a year earlier. The company also took the time to raise guidance on key PRASM metrics from a decline of 3-4% to 1.25-1.75%. The bullish revisions reflect a stronger close in bookings, low fuel costs, and improving traffic trends.

United’s promotion activity, especially its member loyalty, continues to play a large role in its recent success. In fact, United was recently deemed to operate the best overall frequent flyer program in the world for a thirteenth straight year.

Some near term risks to another bullish report include currency headwinds, slowly rising fuel costs, macroeconomic uncertainty and increased competition. JetBlue, Spirit and Southwest pose a legitimate threat to major airlines market share by offering tickets at more attractive price points. Meanwhile the strength of the U.S. dollar and increasing turmoil overseas could hamper performance in international operations. Do you think UAL can beat estimates? There is still time to get your estimate in here!

Each week Forcerank runs a variety of games covering different industries. What we have found, is that the top three ranked companies in their respective games deliver the biggest positive price movement for that week. This week the winners include popular names like Amazon and Twitter.  

JetBlue Airways (JBLU) | Airlines: Shares of Jetblue have been on a tear lately, jumping 12.7% in the past past month. The stock still appears to have room to run after being hammered for the better part of year. Share prices are still slightly below the volume profile so further gains aren’t out of the question.  Last week, JetBlue announced one of the largest renewable jet fuel agreements in aviation history. The company will begin burning renewable biofuel mix on some of its flights within the NYC area. The move puts JetBlue ahead of the looming restrictions that are likely to cripple the airline industry. Meanwhile, more frequent discounting and promotional sales are helping drive traffic gains and cutting PRASM losses.

United States Steel (X) | Most Heavily Shorted: United States Steel has been on one of the hottest streaks this year. Year to date shares are up 145% despite pundits writing them off.  Just yesterday, analysts at JPMorgan reiterated their overweight rating, citing a buying opportunity after this recent dip. Additionally structural change in the steel industry will continue to bode well. These ongoing victories have been supported by several technical indicators. On balance volume recently turned positive coupled with a bullish crossover in the MACD indicating near term momentum.

Amazon (AMZN) | E-Commerce: Week after week Amazon shares have reached record highs on its path to $1000. Just last week the online retailer eclipsed the $800 mark and is now trading near $830. It’s easy to tell that the stock is overvalued but most investors still wouldn’t advise betting against them. Amazon and Jeff Bezos constantly prove why they are a pioneer for technology and innovation. Late last week, Argus raised its call on the stock from hold to buy with a $935 price target. If you weren’t lucky enough to hold a position in the past few years it’s still not too late. The Forcerank consensus has correctly ranked the tech giant in the top position of the ecommerce contests for multiple weeks.

Adobe (ADBE) | Large Enterprise Software: Momentum from a strong earnings report last week has carried over into this week. Adobe shares are near all time highs after jumping 7% in the past month. Since its report, the stock has seen a bullish crossover in the MACD and is steadily improving on balance volume. This week the company made headlines after inking a partnership with Microsoft to integrate Creative Cloud with MS cloud services. This is a big win for Adobe and Microsoft but also a huge blow to Salesforce, Oracle, and Amazon. On average, analysts still remain committed to a “buy” rating as does the Forcerank consensus. Adobe ranks in the top 3 spots in the large cap enterprise contests on an ongoing basis.

Twitter (TWTR) | Social Media: Twitter has been the most popular stock over the past 3 days, after rumors broke that management was inching closer to sale. Shares spiked over 20% on Friday alone and have nearly reached 10% gains  at the start of this week. The list of possible suitors include heavy hitters like Microsoft, Google, Disney and Salesforce. So far there is no indication that one is more likely than the others to emerge victorious, but there certainly seems to be more legitimacy around these rumors than in the past. Outside of takeover talk, Twitter is gaining steam from the recent slew of newsworthy events. Thursday night football which now streams on the platform is already being deemed a success while Monday night’s presidential debate was a breeding ground for new tweets. This week, Twitter was ranked third in the social media game, a strong signal that the stock still has room to run.
