United Airlines Holdings (NASDAQ:UAL) Stock, Rapport sur les intérêts à découvert

United Airlines Holdings

United Continental Holdings, Inc.

United Airlines is a major US network carrier with hubs in San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles, New York/Newark, and Washington, D.C. United operates a hub-and-spoke system that is more focused on international and long-haul travel than its large US peers.

United Continental

Bank of America Securities (BofA) outlined a second-quarter 2025 earnings preview for airline companies in an investor note on Tuesday, with a focus on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46082523/whats-going-on-with-airline-stocks-today">second-half 2025 capacity.</a>
Analyst Andrew Didora notes airline management teams have highlighted stability throughout the second quarter 2025.
BofA adds, &#8220;As such, we expect 2Q25 results to be largely in line with outlooks.&#8221;
Looking at trends into the third quarter of 2025, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) throughput has been down, while BAC aggregated debit and credit card data for airline spend has been down slightly more in June than in April/May.

So the analyst does not expect a meaningful sequential improvement in revenue trends.
&#8220;We believe investors will be looking for commentary on any green shoots in demand, and any further commentary on 2H25 capacity cuts could be viewed positively,&#8221; he added.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks in Focus</h2>
For Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), BofA sees its balance sheet strength and cost focus, with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ALK/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $60</a>.
For Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>), the analyst says <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ALGT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the $50 price target</a> is reasonable given the positive industry backdrop and Allegiant Travel&#8217;s monopolistic routes. However, Didora sees heightened cost risks for Allegiant given its recent 737 MAX order and pilot labor costs.
American Airlines Group&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $12</a> is based on 5.5x 2025E EBITDAR. The analyst says the target multiple is at a half-turn discount to American Airlines&#8217;s legacy peers, given higher leverage and execution risk.
For Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DAL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BofA analyst believes</a> the network carrier can trade towards the upper end of its historical valuation range (4-6x) over time, given revenue diversification and strong operational execution.
Frontier Group Holdings Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ULCC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $4</a> is based on approximately 6.5x 2026E EBITDAR, adjusted for sale-leaseback gains. This multiple is in line with ultra-low-cost carriers&#8217; historical valuation multiple and ULCC&#8217;s multiple since going public in 2021.
JetBlue Airways Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JBLU/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $3</a> is based on approximately 0.9x EV/Sales multiple, which is in line with the 0.6-1.0x range that airline stocks traded in more difficult economic times, like those in 2008-2009.
&#8220;We believe this is reasonable given JBLU&#8217;s meaningfully depressed earnings and high net leverage,&#8221; the analyst wrote.
Southwest Airlines Co&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LUV/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $26</a> is based on approximately 7.0x 2025E EBITDAR. Given positive yield dynamics across the industry, this target multiple is at the high end of LUV&#8217;s long-term historical average of 6.2x.
United Airlines Holdings Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UAL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $90</a> is based on approximately 5.5x 2025E EBITDAR.
&#8220;Our target multiple is in line with UAL&#8217;s legacy peers. We believe the network carriers can trade towards the high end of their historical valuation ranges (4-6x) given depressed earnings,&#8221; Didora wrote.

Reuters Cites Google Saying Cyber Incidents In Airline Sector Resemble Work Of 'Scattered Spider' Hacking Group

Airline stocks such as Delta Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NASDAQ">DAL</a>) and United Airlines Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) are trading higher Tuesday following a sharp decline in oil prices and growing hopes for a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46068524/israel-says-iran-broke-trump-ceasefire-orders-high-intensity-strikes-on-tehran"> ceasefire between Iran and Israel.</a>
What To Know: The gains come as Brent crude and other oil benchmarks fell sharply. 
The United States Brent Oil Fund (BNO) dropped over 5%; the United States Oil Fund (USO) dropped a similar amount. The selloff in energy markets was driven by President Donald Trump's announcement of a tentative ceasefire between Israel and Iran. If the truce holds, it could reduce the risk of further escalation in the oil-rich Middle East region.
Iran's foreign ministry disputed the existence of a formal agreement. Yet, it also indicated a willingness to halt operations if Israel stops its attacks. Despite the uncertainty, markets are reacting to the possibility that immediate conflict may subside. A resolution could stabilize oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz, a key passage for global crude shipments.
The resulting drop in jet fuel and broader oil prices is potentially seen as a positive development for the airline sector, which is highly sensitive to fuel costs. Additionally, the reduced geopolitical risk may ease concerns around travel demand in international markets. However, with Israel accusing Iran of violating the ceasefire on Tuesday, the situation remains fluid and volatile.
Price Action: Delta shares were up 2.59% at $49.50 and United Arline shares were 2.72% at $79.06 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

What's Going On With Airline Stocks Today?

Shares of airline companies are trading higher amid a drop in the price of oil. An Iran-Israel ceasefire may lower travel uncertainty.

Reuters Cites Filing With US DOT Saying Spirit Airlines Says Proposed Joint Venture Agreement Between JetBlue Airways, United Airlines Is Anticompetitive And Should Be Rejected

Shares of airline stocks are trading higher, reversing from earlier weakness as oil prices fall. Investors may be assessing Iran's attack on an American base in Qatar and the impact on travel demand.

Shares of airline stocks are trading lower on uncertain travel demand outlook following US strikes on Iran. Qatar has closed airspace amid tensions.

As the tensions between Washington and Tehran rose after U.S. President Donald <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043305/donald-trump-announces-spectacular-military-success-as-us-strikes-key-iranian-nuclear-sites">Trump ordered strikes</a> at key Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
What Happened: The busy airspace between Iran, Iraq and the Mediterranean has been largely empty since June 13 as Israel launched an attack on Iran, Reuters reported on Monday.
However, several airlines, including Singapore Airlines, Air France KLM, Finnair, and Kazakhstan's Air Astana, have canceled flights to busy airports in the Middle East, such as Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha, the report suggests.
Despite this, some airlines like British Airways are resuming flights to Dubai and Doha, the report added.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as mounting tensions between the U.S.-Israel and Iran have already led to United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and American Airlines Group Inc.

Several Airlines Cancel Flights To Dubai, Riyadh, Doha After US-Iran Tensions Rattle Global Air Travel: Report

United Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) has officially launched the first direct commercial flight from the U.S. to Greenland in nearly two decades, with its Newark-to-Nuuk route landing Saturday evening in the Arctic capital.
A United Boeing 737 Max 8 departed Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey and landed in Nuuk, around 6:39 p.m. local time, according to <a href="https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL80/history/20250614/1540Z/KEWR/BGGH">flight-tracking site FlightAware</a>. The route&#8217;s timing coincided with President Donald Trump&#8216;s 79th birthday, though United first <a href="https://www.united.com/en/us/newsroom/announcements/cision-125351">announced</a> the flight back in October, ahead of his re-election.

</ul>
The Newark-to-Nuuk service is United's first direct flight to Greenland, and the first such connection by any U.S. carrier since 2007. That year, Air Greenland briefly operated a route between Baltimore and Kangerlussuaq, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/16/united-airlines-first-direct-flight-us-greenland-since-2008-trump-birthday/">Fortune</a> reported. The service was discontinued a year later due to high operating costs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shorter Flights, Bigger Impact</h2>
The new seasonal route will operate twice weekly from June to September, with each one-way trip lasting approximately 4.5 hours. Tickets are priced between $1,200 and $1,500. The aircraft carries roughly 165 passengers.&nbsp;
"This is really amazing," Warren Rieutort-Louis, a passenger from San Francisco, told <a href="https://apnews.com/article/us-greenland-direct-flight-united-airlines-100f121e1327168a8deb6b242e5e501b">the Associated Press</a>. "I've been to Greenland before, but never this way around."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tourism, Economy, and Geopolitics</h2>
Officials in Greenland say the route has strong economic implications. Naaja Nathanielsen, Greenland's minister for business and energy, told <a href="https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/groenland/foerste-direkte-rutefly-mellem-usa-og-groenland-er-en-realitet-det-aabner">Danish broadcaster DR</a> that the connection is vital for tourism and economic diversification. Fishing currently accounts for roughly 90% of Greenland's exports, and tourism is increasingly viewed as a new growth engine.
U.S. travelers previously had to route through Iceland or Denmark before reaching Greenland. More than 96,000 international passengers passed through Greenland's airports in 2023, up 28% from 2015, according to AP.
"We expect the new flight to have a positive impact — both for the society and travelers," said Tanny Por, head of international relations at Visit Greenland, the government's tourism agency, to AP.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Timing and Political Undercurrents</h2>
Though United's inaugural flight landed on Trump's birthday, and the president has made controversial comments about acquiring Greenland, the airline said that the timing was related to the opening of a new airport in Nuuk late last year. The upgraded runway allows for larger aircraft and direct international flights — a key enabler of the new route.
United <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/united-adds-eight-new-destinations-in-largest-international-expansion-in-its-history-302272864.html">said</a> in October that it would be the only carrier offering direct flights between the U.S. and Nuuk, describing the route as a gateway to outdoor experiences and Arctic wildlife during Greenland's summer season.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Warm Reception Expected</h2>
Some travelers on the flight expressed excitement about the cultural experience and hoped for a positive reception.
"I do hope that we receive a warm welcome from the locals," Aria Varasteh, a traveler from Washington, D.C., told AP. "From those I've talked to already, it seems that they're excited to have us here."

United Airlines Launches First Direct US-Greenland Flights In 17 Years With Newark-Nuuk Route

United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) have suspended flights to the Middle East as the conflict between Iran and Israel continues after Israel launched missiles at Iran on June 13, 2025.
What Happened: United Airlines has announced it will suspend flights from New Jersey's Newark airport to Dubai indefinitely due to the conflict, while American Airlines will suspend flights from Philadelphia International Airport to Doha, Qatar, CBS reported <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-airlines-suspend-middle-east-flights-iran-israel/">on</a> Thursday.&nbsp;
A spokesperson for American Airlines said that the suspension of flights will last until at least June 22, the report suggests.
Why It Matters: The move comes in as the conflict between the two countries has escalated. U.S. President Donald Trump has called on Iran <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46017426/trump-gives-iran-2-weeks-to-strike-a-deal-or-face-us-military-action">to strike a deal</a> with the U.S. or it will face military action. Trump had left the G7 Summit in Canada earlier than scheduled due to the conflict.
Elsewhere, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that a regime change in Iran isn't his goal, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46018790/benjamin-netanyahu-says-he-didnt-present-regime-change-as-a-goal-in-iran-but-it-could-be-the-result">it could happen</a> as a result of the conflict between the two nations.
Amidst this, Russian President Vladimir Putin has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46010064/ayatollah-assassination-discussion-rejected-by-putin-i-do-not-even-want-to-discuss-this-possibility"> rejected discussions</a> relating to the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Putin reiterated that Iranians are rallying in support of their leader.

Amid Iran-Israel Conflict, United, American Airlines Suspend Flights To The Middle East

<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-19/american-united-airline-suspend-some-middle-east-flights?srnd=homepage-americas" title="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-19/american-united-airline-suspend-some-middle-east-flights?srnd=homepage-americas">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-19/american-united-airline-suspend-some-middle-east-flights?srnd=homepage-americas</a>

'American, United Airline Suspend Some Middle East Flights' - Bloomberg

Editor's Note: This story has been updated to correct the amount of the North Carolina Community College System training initiative.
JetZero, a California-based aerospace startup, has <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jetzero-selects-north-carolina-for-4-7b-production-facility-will-create-over-14-500-jobs-302479910.html">announced</a> a $4.7 billion investment to build its first manufacturing facility in Greensboro, North Carolina — a move that could position it to compete with industry giants such as Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Airbus.&nbsp;
The new plant, located at Piedmont Triad International Airport, will manufacture the company's all-wing commercial jet, the Z4, and is expected to create over 14,500 jobs by 2036 — a record-setting employment commitment for the state, according to the North Carolina Department of Commerce.

</ul>
The Z4 aircraft is designed to deliver up to 50% greater fuel efficiency compared to conventional tube-and-wing jetliners. It will seat approximately 250 passengers and offer a range of 5,000 nautical miles. Initially powered by conventional jet fuel, the aircraft is also being developed with the potential for future hydrogen conversion, JetZero<a href="https://www.jetzero.aero/jetzero-selectsgreensborro-nc-for-factory"> said</a>.
The company says its blended-wing design reduces drag and positions its engines on the upper rear fuselage, enabling significantly quieter operation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Airline Backing and Federal Support</h2>
JetZero has raised over $300 million in funding to date, including U.S. Air Force funding to support development of a full-scale demonstrator scheduled to fly by 2027, according to the<a href="https://apnews.com/article/north-carolina-airplane-plant-jetzero-fdb49ed6c9d38981765ef1f421e3357a"> Associated Press</a>. The company said it has signed conditional purchase agreements with United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), and formed a working group with 14 carriers to align the Z4's design with airport compatibility and operational requirements.

The facility is being developed in partnership with Siemens AG to include AI-driven digital manufacturing systems, with the goal of accelerating production and reducing costs, according to the release.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Strategic Win for North Carolina's Aerospace Ecosystem</h2>
JetZero's headquarters will relocate from Long Beach, California, to Greensboro once the site is operational. Production is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2026, with commercial deliveries targeted for the early 2030s. According to the AP, the company aims to eventually produce up to 20 aircraft per month.
&#8220;This is more than just a factory. It's a launchpad for a new chapter of American aerospace,&#8221; said JetZero CEO Tom O'Leary to the AP.
The North Carolina Department of Commerce said the facility will generate average wages of over $89,000 per year, significantly above the county average. Economic incentives for the project—if all investment and employment milestones are met—could total more than $2.35 billion by the 2060s, including contributions from state and local governments.
"North Carolina was first in flight. We are also the future of flight," North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein said at the formal announcement at Piedmont Triad International Airport, the AP reported.

A dedicated $32 million training initiative is being coordinated with Guilford Technical Community College and other regional institutions.

Palantir Hits New Peak, AMD Rallies To 6-Month Highs: What's Driving Markets On Monday?

Shares of airline stocks are trading higher, rebounding after falling on Friday. Oil prices have come down and geopolitical uncertainty could be easing amid a report suggesting Iran wants to de-escalate Israel hostilities.

A federal jury convicted Tiron Alexander, 35, of wire fraud and entering secure airport areas under false pretenses after he posed as a flight attendant to book more than 120 free flights across multiple airlines from 2018 to 2024.
What Happened: The U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office for the Southern District of Florida announced June 5 that Alexander used approximately 30 different badge numbers and fabricated employment dates to exploit airline employee discount systems.
Court evidence showed Alexander flew on 34 flights without payment by claiming he worked for seven different carriers through airline websites restricted to pilots and flight attendants, according to <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/14/florida-man-free-flights-flight-attendant/">a</a> Fortune report.
Alexander&#8217;s employment history included legitimate positions as a global ticketing support representative for Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) from 2010-2012, flight attendant for Atlantic Southeast Airlines from 2013-2014, and briefly with Republic Airways in 2015. However, he leveraged this background to create fraudulent credentials across multiple carriers.
The Transportation Security Administration investigated the case, with incidents occurring primarily at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. While court documents don&#8217;t identify specific airlines, booking screenshots indicate Alexander targeted Spirit Airlines Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVEQ#NASDAQ">SAVEQ</a>).

Why It Matters: Alexander&#8217;s fraud scheme coincided with increased airline fee revenue generation. A Senate investigation in November 2024 revealed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42202979/senate-targets-airlines-over-124-billion-seat-fees-amid-mounting-scrutiny">major U.S. airlines collected $12.4 billion</a> in seat selection fees between 2018 and 2023.
In 2023 alone, United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) earned $1.3 billion from seating fees—exceeding its revenue from checked baggage for the first time.
Spirit Airlines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44320853/spirit-airlines-bounces-back-from-bankruptcy-set-to-enhance-passenger-services">recently emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection </a>in March 2025, completing financial restructuring that reduced funded debt by $795 million while securing $350 million in equity investment. The airline expects to re-list shares &#8220;as soon as reasonably practicable.&#8221;
TSA confirmed Alexander underwent standard security procedures and posed no passenger threat despite fraudulent boarding passes. U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Becerra will sentence Alexander August 25, with wire fraud carrying potential penalties of up to 20 years imprisonment and substantial fines.

AppLovin, Chewy And Carvana Are Among Top 11 Large Cap Losers Last Week (June 9-13): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Oil is on track for its strongest weekly rally in nearly three years as traders brace for a possible supply crunch after Israel launched major airstrikes against Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure, reigniting fears of broader conflict <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/middle-east">in the Middle East.</a> 
West Texas Intermediate crude futures briefly spiked as high as $77.50 per barrel during the Asian session before easing to $73 by 8:00 a.m. in New York, still 7% above Thursday&#8217;s close. 
For the week, oil prices – as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) &#8211; have risen by nearly 13%, their largest weekly gain since October 2022.
U.S. gasoline futures were up 4% on Friday to $2.21 a gallon, heading for the strongest weekly rally in three months.
The Israeli strikes killed top Iranian military officials and targeted critical installations, including nuclear and ballistic missile sites, raising the specter of retaliatory moves that could disrupt vital oil flows in the region.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How High Could Oil Go? ING Analyst Sees $120 Risk Scenario</h2>
Warren Patterson, head of commodity strategy at ING, said Iran's role in the global oil market makes the situation highly sensitive. 
"Iran is a meaningful oil producer, pumping 3.3 million barrels per day and exporting around 1.7 million," he said in a research report Friday.
Patterson said disruptions could hit the Strait of Hormuz, a maritime chokepoint that handles nearly one-third of global seaborne crude shipments, in a scenario of continued escalation.
"It still leaves roughly 14 million barrels per day of oil supply at risk," he said, noting that a serious disruption could push prices to $120 per barrel.
He added that Brent crude could test its all-time high of nearly $150 per barrel if disruptions persist toward year-end.
"The renewed standoff between the two countries risks spiraling into a wider conflict," said Alejandro Cuadrado, a strategist at BBVA. He said the volatility spike in oil may spill over into other markets over the weekend.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street Pulls Back: Energy And Defense Names Surge, Travel Stocks Hit Hard</h2>
U.S. equity futures slid Friday as investors reacted to escalating Middle East tensions, with broad declines across major indexes. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.9%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1% and the Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.1%.
Energy stocks outperformed sharply during premarket trading, buoyed by the surge in crude prices. Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) rose 4.8% to $46.91, APA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NASDAQ">APA</a>) added 4.76% and Diamondback Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FANG#NASDAQ">FANG</a>) advanced 4.68%. 
Oilfield service firms joined the rally, with Halliburton Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>) and Schlumberger Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) both gaining over 4%.
Defense contractors also moved up. Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) rose 3.94% to $516.71, while Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) climbed 3.1% and 4%, respectively.
By contrast, travel stocks faced heavy pressure as higher energy costs and geopolitical uncertainty pressured the sector. Carnival Corp. &amp; plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) sank 5.24%, United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) fell 4.82% and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) slid 4.58%.
