United Airlines posted Q2 2026 adjusted diluted EPS of $1.99, beating consensus, as operating revenue rose 16% to $17.7B and TRASM increased 12.1% with yields up 12%. CASM climbed 15.2%, so fuel costs that jumped about $2.3B were only partly offset by pricing. Management expects to recover roughly 80–90% in Q3 and all by Q4, with nearly $6B extra full-year fuel expense; accumulated cash will go toward debt reduction and aircraft deliveries.

ABOUT

What is Fimmer?

Most feeds treat all company headlines the same. An executive interview, an office closure, stock analysis, and a data breach can sit side by side with no sense of scale. Fimmer ranks coverage by what matters, so important events stand out and signals are prioritised over noise. We cluster related company news and score each story using a range of metrics, so you see the most crucial stories first.

SCORING

What do the scores mean?

Significance (0–10) measures the scale of the real-world impact. Sentiment and ESG (−10 to +10) indicate the tone of the coverage and whether the change relates to environmental, social, or governance factors. Together, these scores help distinguish meaningful developments from routine company news. More information about our scoring methodology can be found on our About page.
