United Airlines stock (ISIN US9100471096) closed at USD 113.99 on Nasdaq on September 25, 2026, up 2.52 percent from the prior close. The latest analyst move came from Seaport Global Securities, which cut its price target from USD 150.00 to USD 134.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on September 25, 2026.

Analyst target moves lower

According to Yahoo Finance on September 25, 2026, Seaport reduced its target by USD 16.00, from USD 150.00 to USD 134.00. The target remains above the September 25 closing price, but the reduction places the latest published target below the wider analyst average of USD 156.80 shown for United Airlines.

The market snapshot puts the stock's 52-week range at USD 84.64 to USD 138.77. United Airlines traded 3,416,205 shares in the September 25 session, and its market capitalization stood at USD 37.0 billion.

Q2 revenue rose 16.4 percent

According to MarketBeat in its September 23, 2026 report, United Airlines posted Q2 2026 revenue of USD 17.67 billion, up 16.4 percent year over year. Reported EPS was USD 1.99 against USD 1.88 consensus, a USD 0.11 beat, while fiscal 2026 EPS guidance stood at USD 9.00 to USD 11.00.

That combination gives the stock two competing reference points: operating growth remained visible in Q2, while the latest Seaport target revision shows a more cautious valuation view. The reported Q2 EPS also stood below the USD 3.87 EPS reported for the comparable prior-year period, according to the same MarketBeat report.

Q3 report is set for October 21

MarketBeat lists United Airlines' next Q3 2026 earnings report for October 21, 2026, after the market close. The scheduled report will give investors a fresh test of the USD 9.00 to USD 11.00 full-year EPS guidance.
