Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning United Airlines Holdings Stock In The Last 5 Years

If you&#8217;re analyzing contrarian opportunities in 2025, this list is worth studying. It highlights names that, despite widespread skepticism, have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">outperforming more popular picks.</a>
In a year when Wall Street&#8217;s darlings have stumbled, some of the most unloved names in the S&amp;P 500 are quietly delivering gains that put high-conviction buys to shame—and the data may challenge how investors think about analyst ratings.
In a newsletter sent Tuesday, DataTrek Research spotlighted what it called "a truly remarkable list": the 10 S&amp;P 500 companies with the highest share of &#8216;Sell&#8217; ratings from analysts. 
&#8220;History and year-to-date returns suggest it is a good place to look for longs,&#8221; analysts suggested.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Contrarian Play: Most-Hated, Yet Outperforming</h3>
&#8220;Wall Street analysts don&#8217;t put &#8216;Sell&#8217; on many stocks,&#8221; Datatrek wrote.
FactSet data shows that of the 12,320 ratings issued on S&amp;P 500 stocks, 55.7% are Buys, 38.7% are Holds, and only 5.6% are Sells.
&#8220;The percentage of Buy ratings is above its 5-year (month-end) average of 55.0%. The percentage Hold ratings is below its 5-year (month-end) average of 39.1%. The percentage of Sell ratings is also below its 5-year (month-end) average of 5.9%,&#8221; FactSet said.
Here are the 10 S&amp;P 500 stocks with the highest percentage of Sell ratings:

That performance handily beats the -2.36% decline of the S&amp;P 500, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), and it's miles ahead of the -10% drop in the Magnificent Seven cohort, tracked by the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NYSE">MAGS</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The "Buy" Darlings Didn't Deliver</h3>
Now, contrast that with the 10 most-loved stocks in the S&amp;P 500 — the ones with the highest percentage of Buy ratings.
This basket includes mega-cap giants like Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Nvidia Corp.

Bottom line, the trend offers a striking insight: being unloved by analysts doesn't necessarily doom a stock to underperformance. 
In fact, in a year marked by pullbacks in big tech and sector rotations, contrarian plays are quietly thriving.
For those willing to swim against the tide, Wall Street's least-favored stocks may hold the key to outperformance this year.

Want To Buy Stocks In 2025? There's One Conflicting Place To Find Winners, Analyst Says

99.5% Of Teamsters Voted To Reject United Airlines' Latest Economic Proposal

Shares of United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) are trading nearly flat on Tuesday.
United has begun construction on a 140,000-square-foot Ground Service Equipment (GSE) Maintenance Facility and unveiled a Technical Operations Training Center at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44471336/united-airlines-breaks-ground-on-new-177m-ground-service-equipment-facility-and-opens-new-state-of" rel="noreferrer noopener">George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).</a>
These initiatives are key components of United&#8217;s strategy to address increasing passenger demand while advancing employee development and sustainability goals.
United Airlines has allocated $177 million to the construction of a new Ground Service Equipment Maintenance Facility, a vital addition to support its expanding fleet of ground service equipment.

Scheduled for completion in 2027, the facility, designed to address both present and future requirements, is part of United&#8217;s broader plan to strengthen its presence in Houston, where the airline employs over 14,000 people and operates 500 daily flights.
The facility is expected to provide a 25% increase in repair space, 60% increase in shop space, 80% increase in storage capacity and a 50% increase in shared spaces.
The air carrier has also invested $16 million in the newly launched Technical Operations Training Center in Houston, to prepare technicians for the airline&#8217;s expanding fleet.
The TTC offers a hands-on training environment with advanced tools such as simulators for Boeing 737 and 787 troubleshooting and specialized engine inspections.

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Looking Into United Airlines Holdings's Recent Short Interest

Wall Street soared Monday, kicking off the week in full risk-on mode as investors welcomed signs of easing trade tensions and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44459470/us-business-activity-rebounds-as-services-growth-outpaces-forecasts-yet-cost-pressures-intensify">stronger-than-expected economic data. </a>
President Donald Trump&#8216;s softer tone on potential tariffs ahead of the looming April 2, 2025 deadline helped calm nerves. Adding to the optimism, fresh business surveys showed a strong rebound in services activity in March, easing recession worries.
U.S. economic activity accelerated in March, with the Composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rising rom 51.6 in February to to 53.5. Services PMI jumped to 54.3 — well above consensus forecasts of 50.8 and sharply higher than the prior month's 51.0 reading. Yet, the report also flagged a notable uptick in cost pressures, as businesses reported growing concerns over input prices, likely linked to heightened speculation around potential tariff measures.
The S&amp;P 500 jumped 1.75% by midday in New York, on track for its best one-day performance since mid-January. The Nasdaq 100 rallied 2%, mirroring gains from March 14 — the index's strongest day since early November 2024.
Small caps outperformed their large-cap peers, underscoring the market's improving risk appetite. The Russell 2000 surged 2.8%, marking its best session since the post-election rally on Nov. 6, 2024.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) led the charge on both the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100, soaring 9.8%, on track for its sharpest one-day gain since early November.
All seven mega-cap tech stocks posted solid gains, with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NYSE">MAGS</a>) climbing 2.9% after Friday's 1.4% rise, setting up what could be its strongest two-day advance since early January.
Every S&amp;P 500 sector, except utilities, traded in positive territory, with consumer discretionary and technology leading the pack.
The U.S. dollar index edged higher, eyeing a fourth consecutive session of gains. Meanwhile, Treasury yields spiked across the curve as investors rotated out of safe-haven assets. The 10-year yield jumped seven basis points to 4.32%, while the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 0.9%.
Gold pulled back 0.3% to $3,014 per ounce, on pace for its third straight decline, as investors favored riskier assets.
Oil prices gained 1.5% after Trump threatened a 25% tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44460897/oil-prices-rally-exxon-hits-16-week-highs-as-trump-vows-25-tariffs-on-any-country-buying-venezuelan-crude">countries importing Venezuelan crude.</a>
Crypto-related assets also rallied. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) climbed 2.7% to $88,400, while MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) jumped 7.4% and Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) rose 6.2%.

United Airlines And JPMorgan Roll Out Exclusive Benefits For New MileagePlus Cardholders, Including Welcome Bonuses

The power outage at London&#8217;s Heathrow Airport resulted in substantial flight disruptions, potentially causing airlines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44431360/londons-heathrow-airport-shuts-down-due-to-major-power-outage-caused-by-a-fire-over-1300-flights-expected-to-be-impacted">to lose millions of dollars</a>.
What Happened: The outage forced LHR to close, resulting in flight cancellations and diversions. This left thousands of passengers stranded, with some finding themselves in cities like Tokyo, Mumbai, and Dallas.
Although the airport announced that flights would resume later on Friday, reorganizing airline networks continues to be a significant hurdle.&nbsp;
According to the report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/heathrow-airport-power-outage-ccould-cost-airlines-millions-2025-3">by</a> Insider, Ronan Murphy, a director at Alton Aviation Consultancy, estimates that airlines could face losses ranging from $80 to $100 million due to the costs of rerouting passengers and providing accommodations.
&#8220;If you think about load factor, let&#8217;s say 75% full on average, that&#8217;s 220,000 people, give or take, that are affected. That could be $100 million-plus of revenue for one day,&#8221; Murphy told the outlet.

&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a good thing it&#8217;s sort of pre-Easter in a bit of a March lull moment. If this is the&nbsp;middle of July, it would be an absolute disaster. You could have another 300 or 400 flights,&#8221; he said. 
As Heathrow reopens, airlines such as&nbsp;United Airlines&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and&nbsp;British Airways&nbsp;are striving to mitigate the impact and restart operations.&nbsp;British Airways CEO Sean Doyle&nbsp;referred to the situation as &#8220;unprecedented.&#8221;
Heathrow, ranked as the world&#8217;s fifth-busiest airport, had around 1,300 flights scheduled for&nbsp;Friday, with a capacity of&nbsp;290,930 seats. The&nbsp;New York-JFK to London Heathrow&nbsp;route, one of the world&#8217;s busiest, is expected to be among the most affected.
Why It Matters: The power outage at Heathrow Airport underscores the vulnerability of global airline networks to unexpected disruptions. Despite the significant interruption, travel expert Mike Arnot remains hopeful, noting that large airlines usually&nbsp;have spare capacity and can&nbsp;utilize their alliance partners to manage such situations. 
However, the incident serves as a reminder of the need for robust contingency plans in the aviation industry, particularly at high-traffic airports like Heathrow.
