United Airlines Holdings expects brand-loyal flyers and demand for its premium seats to drive profit through the end of the year, maintaining momentum after reporting better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter.
The Chicago-based airline on Wednesday released a forecast for adjusted earnings per share (EPS) in a range of $3 to $3.50 for the fourth quarter. That’s ahead of the $2.82 average of analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
The carrier also expects full-year results at the upper end of its guidance. In July, United predicted full-year adjusted EPS of $9 to $11.
