Why United Airlines Stock Crashed and Burned on Thursday
Shares of United Airlines (NYSE: UAL) stock got destroyed in Thursday trading (yes, again), falling 12% by day's end, after the airline reported disappointing Q3 2017 results.
United, America's fourth biggest airline by traffic, confirmed Wednesday evening that its Q3 revenues declined 0.4% in comparison to Q3 2016, while operating profits plunged 33% and net income was down 34%. A reduction in share count pared the company's per-share profit decline to only 30% -- but even that wasn't good enough to prevent a sell-off in the shares.
