Getty Images United Airlines Holdings, Inc. ( UAL ) got hit by the Iran conflict, and this was a gift for long-term investors in the airline. The stock is surging on a potential ceasefire and an end to the conflict, causing oil prices to collapse, but investors shouldn't trade United Airlines based on short-term hiccups in market dynamics. My investment thesis is ultra Bullish on the stock still trading below $100 despite strong earnings from a peer in the face of the saga in Iran. Source: Finviz Oil Impacts Oil prices ( CO1:COM ) surged over $100 in the last month due to the conflict in Iran. United Airlines spent $11.4 billion on fuel costs last year, and oil is the second largest cost at nearly 20% of revenues in 2025. A few weeks ago, CEO Scott Kirby warned about the impact of higher oil prices. In a letter to employees , the CEO warned of oil prices reaching $175 a barrel and staying at $100/bbl until 2027. According to IATA data , jet fuel prices are at the highest levels in the last decade due to higher crack spreads than normal. United Airlines could definitely face up to $11 billion in additional fuel costs. Source: IATA The airline made plans to cut up to 5 percentage points of capacity. The major worry with United Airlines is the company going too far to make adjustments in the face of normal oil prices. With signs of even a questionable ceasefire in Iran, WTI quickly plummeted back below $100. Clearly, United Airlines prepared for unreasonably high oil prices. The big question when the company reports Q1 '26 earnings on April 21 is how these moves impact 2026 targets. The airline plans to add 120 aircraft this year and another 130 new aircraft by April 2028. United Airlines will add 250 new aircraft during this period despite the worries about higher oil prices, so the company is still investing for the future despite the alarming commentary from the CEO. Strong Demand Prior to the market open, Delta Air Lines ( DAL ) led off the earnings season by repor...

A federal appeals court declined for now Anthropic PBC ’s request to pause a declaration by the Pentagon that the artificial intelligence company poses a risk to the US supply chain, even as plans for a broader government ban on its technology remain blocked by a California judge. In its decision Wednesday, the three-judge panel in Washington, DC, said it would work quickly to review the case because Anthropic is likely to “suffer some irreparable harm” as the legal action plays out. The court set oral arguments in the case for May 19. The ruling leaves in place a US Defense Department declaration that was the legal basis for the Trump administration’s plan to sever all ties to the company, which claims it could face billions of dollars in lost revenue. The government announced the ban after a dispute with Anthropic over how its AI technology would be used by the military. “On one side is a relatively contained risk of financial harm to a single private company,” the court wrote in explaining why it rejected the request for an immediate pause. “On the other side is judicial management of how, and through whom, the Department of War secures vital AI technology during an active military conflict.” Anthropic welcomed an expedited schedule for its lawsuit. “While this case was necessary to protect Anthropic, our customers, and our partners, our focus remains on working productively with the government to ensure all Americans benefit from safe, reliable AI,” the company said in a statement. The Claude chatbot maker has been fighting back on two fronts. It asked the appeals court on March 9 to review the Pentagon’s declaration, calling it “arbitrary, capricious and an abuse of discretion.” The same day, Anthropic sued in San Francisco federal court to challenge the ban, which could mean billions in lost revenue. On March 27, a judge in that case blocked the government following through while the lawsuit proceeds. The Trump administration is appealing. The Defense Departme...

Legislation laid before parliament on Thursday will mean that people who start work or volunteering no longer automatically face a benefit reassessment, a prospect disabled people said was holding them back from trying to gain employment.

China’s military appointed an executive from a state telecommunications company as a senior colonel in its reserve force, highlighting Beijing’s continued efforts to integrate civilian technology with its armed forces. The Information Support Force of the People’s Liberation Army announced the enlistment of Li Chunran in a social media post last week, which was reported by People’s Daily and other state media on Tuesday. The PLA article featured photos of Li dressed in military clothing and identified her employer as a state-owned enterprise, without naming it. A Bloomberg review of records showed she is chairwoman of the Qinghai province branch of China Broadnet, the country’s fourth-largest telecoms operator. The symbolic appointment underscores the role of state-owned enterprises in China’s defense strategy. President Xi Jinping has increasingly promoted military-civil fusion to support national security goals, although such ties have invited global scrutiny as Chinese companies expand their global presence. The company and its Qinghai unit didn’t respond to a request for comment. Operators such as China Mobile and China Telecom have been subjected to Western curbs over their defense links, which have been invoked to justify bans on their use in critical infrastructure and limits on market access due to security risks.

The company holds exclusive rights to the 700MHz spectrum band in China, a resource highly valued for its wide coverage. China Broadnet Qinghai Internet Co. Ltd. officially provides television and radio coverage for the northwestern province. It also won a bid for a surveillance tech contract in Qinghai last March, according to corporate records.

In this article CVX FANG Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 3:20 03:20 Today's Dow winners tell us investors think rates are coming down, says Jim Cramer Mad Money with Jim Cramer As tensions between the U.S. and Iran cooled, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Wednesday's massive rally revealed which stocks investors should be buying as conditions stabilize and which to avoid. "When you go through these lists of the best and worst performers, you can see what's worth owning when things calm down and what's untouchable," Cramer said on "Mad Money" Wednesday. "When the market gets hammered again, you know what the professional money managers will reach for. It's a great way to figure out what can take you higher and what's just a plain old dead end," he added. Cramer's commentary came after stocks soared on the news that President Donald Trump announced the suspension of U.S. attacks on Iran for two weeks. The pause signals some relief in a five-week conflict that led to Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, which is a critical waterway for global energy supplies. To be sure, Cramer said questions still remain about the durability of the ceasefire and all of the details that need to be ironed out in a longer-term agreement. Nevertheless, The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2.85%%, while the S&P 500 gained 2.51% and the Nasdaq jumped 2.8%. West Texas Intermediate crude fell over 16% to $94.41 per barrel, while Brent crude for June delivery dropped roughly 13% to $94.75 per barrel. Among the Dow's biggest winners during Wednesday's rally were Sherwin-Williams , Caterpillar , Home Depot and Goldman Sachs , Cramer pointed out. "That's a pretty extraordinary set of leaders," Cramer said. "When you see these four going up, it means investors believe that interest rates are coming down." The 10-year treasury yield, which is tied to 30-year mortgage rates, also fell sharply Wednesday. Cramer previously said lower rates are key to reviving the stalled housing m...
