周四盘中，联合大陆航空（UAL）股价大幅下跌5.10%，投资者对该公司最新发布的第三季度财报反应消极。尽管公司盈利超出预期，但营收略低于市场预期，引发了市场对其增长前景的担忧。
根据公司财报，联合大陆航空第三季度营收同比增长2.6%至152.3亿美元，低于分析师预期的153.3亿美元。尽管公司整体运力增加逾7%，但国内和国际旅行的单位销售额分别下降3.3%和7.1%，显示出需求增长可能不及运力扩张。然而，公司净利润为9.49亿美元，经调整每股盈利2.78美元，高于市场预期的2.62美元，表明成本控制措施取得一定成效。
值得注意的是，联合大陆航空管理层对第四季度业绩持乐观态度，预计将实现公司历史上单季度最高营收。公司还预计第四季度调整后每股收益将在3.0美元至3.5美元之间，好于市场普遍预期。然而，这一乐观展望似乎未能打消投资者对当前业绩的担忧。分析人士指出，航空业竞争激烈，加之经济不确定性增加，可能会继续给航空公司的收入和盈利能力带来压力。
