United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL - Free Report) just released its third quarter fiscal 2017 earnings results, posting diluted earnings of $2.12 per share and revenue of $9.9 billion. Currently, UAL is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is down a slight 0.79% to $67.45 per share in trading shortly after its earnings report was released.
United:
Matched earnings estimates. The company posted earnings of $2.12 per share, meeting the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.12 per share. Net income was $637 million for the quarter.
Beat revenue estimates. The company saw revenue figures of $9.9 billion, topping our consensus estimate of $9.86 billion and coming in roughly flat year-over-year.
Consolidated passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) was down 3.7% compared to the year-ago period.
Operating expenses were $8.8 billion in Q3, up 6% year-over-year. Consolidated unit cost per available seat mile (CASM) rose 3% compared to the third quarter of 2016 due largely to higher fuel and labor expenses.
"Our employees continued to run a great operation and set new company records during the third quarter despite a challenging operational environment with an unprecedented series of storms. Our team set new records for on-time performance this quarter and had the fewest maintenance delays in over five years," said Scott Kirby, president of United Airlines.
Here’s a graph that looks at United Continental’s price, consensus, and EPS surprise:
