United Lifted by Upgrade, Higher Price Targets
United Continental Holdings (UAL) is having another good day: After a beat-and-raise quarter, the shares are climbing on an upgrade from Macquarie Thursday. Analyst Susan Donofrio raised her rating on the shares to Outperform from Neutral, with a $95 price target. Donofrio writes that United's management appears "more measured and thoughtful," adding to her confidence in the stock, although the real news, as we mentioned yesterday, was the capacity decreases. United "still has a long runway on revenue and cost initiatives...and operations are improving," she writes, as United was the best U.S. airline in terms of on-time departures last quarter.

United Earnings: A Beat & Raise Quarter Is Just the Beginning
It wasn't all good news: Share buybacks bumped up the bottom-line beat, and fuel costs jumped over 43% in the quarter. Way back in January, United's increased capacity spooked investors across the industry, and Delta Air Lines' (DAL) second-quarter earnings lift came largely from its lowered capacity, as airlines try to win back investors' trust. After all, even with strong demand for air travel, excess capacity on the supply-side means less pricing power for airlines, an issue that's more relevant than ever as fuel prices climb. On this score, United did well.

Airlines Earnings: United, American Cleared for Take-Off?
While Delta Air Lines (DAL) already reported second-quarter earnings and gave the sector a lift, this week we'll get two more reports, from United Continental Holdings (UAL) this afternoon and American Airlines Group (AAL) on Wednesday. Investors are likely starved for good news: Airline stocks have taken a hit this year, as high fuel prices and worries about capacity distract from the ongoing strong demand, and that's before thinking about what a trade war could mean for business flyers, who tend to favor the big three legacy airlines. Barclays' Brandon Oglenski takes a look at the sector ahead of United's and American's results, writing that a discussion about reducing capacity could help put a floor under the stocks, especially given low valuations and lower market expectations.

First, Driverless Cars. Next, Pilotless Planes?
Could we someday see American Airlines Group (AAL), United Continental Holdings (UAL), and Delta Air Lines (DAL) fly pilotless planes? Driverless cars haven't proven they can safely maneuver through the streets, and with the stakes higher for passenger planes, who'd want to take the risk. Most passenger planes require two pilots, and just reducing that to one pilot could be a $15 billion "profit opportunity," according to a new UBS report.

[$$] Delta to Increase Fares, Trim Flights as Fuel Prices Rise
