What will be United Airlines' adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) in 2025?
Closed Jan 01, 2026 08:01AM UTC
In April 2025, United took the unusual move to give two sets of guidance for its EPS in 2025: $11.50 to $13.50 in a "stable environment" and $7.00 to $9.00 in a "recessionary environment," highlighting the levels of economic uncertainty at the beginning of the second quarter of the year (CNBC, Yahoo [Reuters], United - Investor Update 15 April 2025). The question will be suspended on 31 December 2025 and the outcome determined using full-year earnings data once released in 2026 (United - Earnings Releases). For 2024, United reported an adjusted diluted earnings per share of $10.61 (United - Earnings Release Q4 2024). United's fiscal year mirrors the calendar year.
