| Union Pacific Gears Up to Report Q3 Earnings: Is a Beat in Store? | Union Pacific (UNP) is expected to report Q3 2026 earnings of $3.47 per share (up 12.7% YoY) with revenues projected at $7.12 billion (up 14% YoY), driven by freight revenue growth of 14.8%. However, lower shipment volumes, Middle East tensions, and supply-chain disruptions may pressure results. The company has a positive earnings surprise history and an Earnings ESP of +0.28% with a Zacks Rank #3. | View source ↗ | Zacks Investment Research | Oct 20, 2026 | bullish | 1 | 1 |
| American Airlines Stock to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Cards? | American Airlines is projected to report a Q3 2026 loss of 28 cents per share, down 64.71% year-over-year, despite revenues expected to rise 18.35% to $16.20 billion. High fuel costs from Middle East tensions, escalated labor and airport costs, and high debt levels are pressuring profitability, though solid bookings and network optimization support revenue growth. | View source ↗ | Zacks Investment Research | Oct 20, 2026 | bullish | 0.333 | 1 |
| JetBlue Gears Up for Q3 Earnings: What's in Store for the Stock? | JetBlue Airways is set to report Q3 2026 earnings on October 27 with expectations for a loss of 52 cents per share, wider than previous estimates. The airline faces significant headwinds from elevated fuel costs ($3.49/gallon expected), non-fuel expense pressures with CASM ex-fuel growth of 2.5-4.5%, operational disruptions, and a substantial $8.48 billion debt burden. The company's negative Earnings ESP of -6.22% and Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) suggest limited likelihood of beating consensus estimates. | View source ↗ | Zacks Investment Research | Oct 20, 2026 | bullish | 0.333 | 1 |
