3. United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:UAL)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 86

United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) was highlighted as a rare bright spot in the market after better-than-expected earnings and dual-scenario guidance. Cramer praised the airline and its CEO Scott Kirby for running a “really well-run” business. Here are his remarks:

“They’re taking out 4% of the capacity. They get rid of every bad route. The numbers that they have, how well they’re doing is extraordinary. We should be talking about that more because that stock sells at six times earnings. And when you listen to Scott Kirby, it’s not going to Scott. I am telling you that interview and then if you read their statement, it’s like an airline that reads like any other business in the world now. Just really well run. […]

Because Kirby’s so forward. He understands it.  I think that Kirby’s incredible. I think that United, look, I’m right next to the Newark airport. I’m not an advertisement for United, but their app is unbelievable. I mean, they’re just ahead of everybody.
