CONTEXT NEWS
United Airlines provided two sets of earnings guidance for 2025 on April 15. The major U.S. airline said during a “stable environment” that it expects full-year earnings per share to be in the range of $11.50 to $13.50, while a “recessionary environment” would lower that range to between $7 and $9.
Rival Delta Air Lines withdrew its full-year forecast on April 9. The same day, retailer Walmart reaffirmed its full-year outlook.
