On this page we presented the UAL Historical PE Ratio information for United Airlines Holdings' stock. The average UAL historical PE based on using the annualized quarterly earnings result at each measurement period (for the "E" in the PE calculation; and the closing price on earnings date as the "P") is 9.0. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average UAL historical PE based on this TTM earnings result method is 11.1. Note: any PE calculations involving negative earnings were discarded as not meaningful.

Let's now compare this UAL historical PE result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 4/17/2024, the most recent closing price for UAL had been 48.74, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 8. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 10.53. From these numbers, we calculate the recent UAL PE on 4/17/2024 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 6.1. Based on UAL's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 32.2% lower than the historical average PE across our data set for United Airlines Holdings. Looking at the recent UAL PE on 4/17/2024 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 4.6. Based on UAL's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 58.6% lower than the average PE across our United Airlines Holdings data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.

Another interesting UAL historical PE Ratio calculation we look at is to take the median earnings per share of the last four quarters for UAL, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for UAL, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: -0.15, 2.00, 3.65, and 5.03. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 2.00 and 3.65 — which gives us the median of 2.83. Basically the way to think about this 2.83 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 2.83 marks the "middle ground" number where UAL has reported a value higher than 2.83 half the time, and has reported a value lower than 2.83 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 11.32/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 48.74 as the numerator (as of 4/17/2024), the calculation is then 48.74 / 11.32 = 4.3 as the UAL PE ratio as of 4/17/2024, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
