NEGATIVE IMPACT
United Airlines anticipates a lower Q1 2024 adjusted EPS than analysts estimated, but a potentially higher full-year EPS.
The lower than expected Q1 2024 EPS guidance is likely to negatively impact investor sentiment in the short term, as it suggests a weaker upcoming quarter than analysts anticipated. However, the full-year guidance range has a midpoint above the analyst estimate, which could indicate confidence in the company's performance over the longer term. The immediate reaction to the Q1 guidance might be negative, but the full-year outlook could mitigate some of the negative sentiment.
