United Airlines Holdings (UAL) shares are up 0.85% to $99.02 on October 17, 2025, recovering modestly after a sharp 5.63% drop on October 16, 2025. There is no major company-specific news or announcements today; the most notable development is UBS maintaining its 'Buy' rating while slightly lowering its price target from $131 to $128, reflecting continued analyst confidence despite recent volatility[1]. The stock's movement appears to align with broader market gains (S&P 500 +0.62%, NASDAQ +0.72%), as no significant UAL-specific catalysts are reported. Recent earnings beat expectations, but consensus forecasts for 2026 remain unchanged, and options activity indicates mixed sentiment among large traders[2][3]. The rebound seems driven more by general market sentiment than by any new UAL-specific event.
