After United Continental (UAL) reported "strong" Q2 results and gave commentary that points to the upper-end, or perhaps above, its FY19 guidance, Stephens analyst Jack Atkins said he has "a hard time understanding why United isn't getting more love." The stock's multiple is below those of peers Southwest (LUV) and Delta Air Lines (DAL), noted Atkins, who does not believe the current valuation reflects the company's execution track record over the past 18 months. He keeps an Overweight rating on United shares and raised his price target on the stock to $112 from $107.

TD Cowen lowered the firm's price target on Southwest to $25 from $26 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The firm said they reported another quarterly loss as revenue growth continues to lag cost growth. Management is focused on increasing revenue to cover higher costs including higher wage rates above historical levels albeit in line with the peer group.
