United Airlines Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates but Cuts Full-Year Guidance Due to Rising Fuel Costs
United Airlines (UAL) reported first-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations, but rising fuel costs led to a reduction in its full-year profit forecast. The airline trimmed its 2026 adjusted EPS range to $7-$11 from $12-$14 due to increased fuel expenses linked to the US-Israeli war with Iran. Despite the challenges, United's premium business helped offset some of the costs.
