Deep Analysis

Gross margin is the percentage of revenue a company keeps after covering the direct costs of producing its services, here 24.3%.

That is well below the sector median of 46.4%, placing UAL in the 17th percentile among peers. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter change is -3.2%, and the only two historical values reported are 24.3% and 25.1%, showing a decline from the prior quarter. A margin this far below the sector norm, combined with a recent drop, points to higher investment risk from weak pricing power or cost control. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the low and falling gross margin is a negative signal that would typically warrant a more cautious stance.
