Cyclical Rebound or False Start for These 3 Stocks?
There is a lot of noise in the stock market, distracting investors from what really matters: the fundamentals. There is no use in trying to follow the sentiment and optimism when the S&P 500 index is trading near its all-time high levels, since this is typically where underlying drivers become more sensitive and vital, making it harder for portfolios to perform properly.

United Airlines: Don't Be Blind To The ~15% FCF Yield
United Airlines has transformed into a free cash flow machine, with its stock now offering a staggering 15% FCF yield that makes the broader market's yield pale in comparison. The recent Q2 report served as a major de-risking event, with the valuable MileagePlus loyalty program now fully unencumbered and management signaling a significant acceleration in demand. While some investors may focus on the lowered full-year guidance, I view this as a prudent move that establishes an achievable earnings floor, making the outlook more reliable than before.
