Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.
Achieving those goals is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores, a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on popular investing methodologies, namely value, growth, and momentum. The Style Scores can help you narrow down which stocks are better for your portfolio and which ones can beat the market over the long-term.
Value investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
United Airlines Holdings is based in Chicago. The carrier changed its name from United Continental Holdings to United Airlines Holdings in June 2019. It is the holding company for both United Airlines and Continental Airlines.
UAL boasts a Value Style Score of A and VGM Score of A, and holds a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) rating. Shares of United Airlines are trading at a forward earnings multiple of 6.7X, as well as a PEG Ratio of 0.5, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 4.4X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 0.5X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2025, nine analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for UAL, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $1.08 to $12.96 per share. UAL also holds an average earnings surprise of 22.9%.
Investors should take the time to consider UAL for their portfolios due to its solid Zacks Ranks, notable earnings and valuation metrics, and impressive Value and VGM Style Scores.
