UAL is trading at 3.39% up now at $98.86 after the company forecasted record Thanksgiving travel, expecting 6.6 million passengers between November 20 and December 2, with international bookings up 10% year over year. This surge in travel demand is supporting airline stocks despite recent analyst caution about softer passenger demand and modest revenue growth. The broader market is mixed, but strong sector-specific momentum and optimism around holiday travel are fueling UAL's gains. Trading activity is elevated as investors respond to the positive outlook for passenger volumes and resilience in key markets.
