Percentile across ~4,600 US stocks on Ticker Nerd’s systematic factor model. Higher is better. How the model is built and tested
Value (92): The shares cost little relative to the profits and assets behind them — which can mean the market is too gloomy, or that the business really is in trouble.
Growth (35): Sales and profits are flat, shrinking, or growing more slowly than they were.
Size (7): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.

United Airlines stock closed at $110.66 in the recent trading session, a decline of 3.95% from the prior trading day, representing a larger drop than the broader market.
Why it matters — A UAL watcher would note that the airline underperformed the wider market on the day, a significant single-session decline for the stock.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said a major telecom outage that disrupted thousands of flights on Monday will not occur again once a new, more modern and resilient air traffic control system is in place. The comments were made in response to the outage that affected airline operations.
Why it matters — A more resilient air traffic control system could reduce the risk of similar nationwide flight disruptions affecting United Airlines' operations in the future.
A failed telecom circuit at a Philadelphia air-traffic facility caused a multi-hour ground stop at New York City-area airports, disrupting more than 1,000 flights as world leaders arrived for the UN General Assembly. Despite the delays, airline stocks including UAL rose, with UAL up 5%.
Why it matters — UAL watchers would note that airline shares advanced in spite of operational disruptions, suggesting the market's focus was on factors other than the ground stop.
The FAA halted flights at Newark Liberty International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport on Monday due to an equipment issue. United Airlines said it would waive change fees for travelers affected by the disruption.
Why it matters — A flight disruption at United's Newark hub could affect operations and inconvenience passengers, though the airline's fee waiver seeks to mitigate the impact.
