“Wednesday's First Moves: FTNT Double Downgrade, UAL Double Miss, T Earnings”
UAL adjusted EPS missed expectations; Q4 and full-year earnings guidance came in below analysts' forecasts, a sharp deceleration, with higher fuel prices the main pressure point. Bookings and premium, basic-economy, loyalty and cargo revenue were strong, but fuel is hurting profit and shares are down.

Let's check out United Airlines. Yeah, we knew coming into today the question around United Airlines would be what is the impact of fuel? And that is certainly a headwind for United Airlines.

Now, they did have strong bookings, but they missed expectations on earnings. Profit took a hit uh in terms of adjusted earnings per share. They ca it came in at 254. The street was looking for 260. So, that was weaker than expected.
