Morgan Stanley increased its price target for United Airlines to $190, suggesting nearly 60% upside from the current price of $118.81. The airline's stock has surged 235% since October 2023, driven by a strong rebound in international travel and raised earnings guidance of $9.00 to $11.00 per share. However, rising fuel costs, expected to add $6 billion in expenses this year, remain a significant challenge. United Airlines aims to recover most of these costs by the fourth quarter, while maintaining a solid valuation with a P/E ratio of 11.08 and managing its debt levels.
