UAL futures are showing modest upward momentum in pre-market trading, buoyed by softer crude oil prices and positive airline sector earnings. Analysts project a potential 2–3% lift over the next week, contingent on maintaining industry load factors above 85%. The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves. The Nasdaq Composite ( ^IXIC ) also hit its second record close in a row as investors went risk-on. Futures traders are watching UAL’s cargo division performance, as freight yield recovery could add incremental EPS growth. This operational strength has been lightly priced in, giving room for upside surprises.
