聯合航空:高端需求強勁,無懼經濟逆風




聯合航空料業績穩健 受惠高端服務及國際旅遊需求

路透社報道,聯合航空周三表示,儘管受到新關稅帶來的經濟不確定性影響,但其財務表現預期仍將保持韌性,主要因為高利潤的高端服務及國際旅遊需求持續增長。

該航空公司股價早盤曾一度上升逾5%,但隨後隨大市回落,午後交易時段微跌。

聯合航空財務總監Michael Leskinen表示:「無論未來經濟走勢如何,我們預期財務結果將保持韌性。」

特朗普的貿易政策及廣泛關稅引發了全球貿易戰,且增加全球經濟衰退的可能性,令消費者對旅行支出變得謹慎。

市場對需求疲軟的預期,促使航空公司採取謹慎策略,控制航班數量及成本。多家美國航空公司已削減航班,以避免票價下跌及保障利潤率。

經濟放緩為美國大型航空公司帶來逆風,這些航空公司兩個月前仍受惠於強勁的旅遊需求及穩健的價格。

不過,擁有龐大高端市場份額的航空公司,部分抵銷了這些影響。

聯合航空周二公布的第一季度盈利優於市場預期,並表示過去兩周高利潤的高端艙位預訂量增加了17%,同期國際訂位增長5%。

公司首席商務官Andrew Nocella在財報電話會議中說:「至今尚未見到高端消費者在購買高端體驗上的意願有任何惡化。」

聯合航空表示,若需求穩定且燃油價格維持現水平,預計全年調整後每股盈利將達11.50至13.50美元。

美銀(BofA)在報告中讚揚該季度執行良好,預期聯合航空將因其高端收入基礎、強大的忠誠計劃及穩健的資產負債表而表現優異,並維持對其「買入」評級。

不過,聯合航空也提醒,該盈利預測依賴於宏觀經濟環境,並強調今年的經濟走勢「無法有信心作出準確預測」。

如果經濟陷入衰退,聯合航空預計收入將下跌5個百分點,全年調整後每股盈利降至7至9美元。

這與競爭對手達美航空形成對比,後者上周因需求增長「停滯」而撤回全年指引。

評論分析:聯合航空的韌性與挑戰

聯合航空在經濟不確定及貿易摩擦加劇的背景下,依然保持樂觀,主要依靠高端市場及國際旅遊需求的強勁表現。這反映出航空業在面對宏觀經濟風險時,提升高利潤產品佔比是抵禦衝擊的有效策略。不過,這種策略也有一定局限性:高端市場受經濟景氣影響較大,一旦經濟衰退成真,消費者對奢侈旅遊的需求將大幅下降,屆時聯合航空的盈利能力將面臨嚴峻考驗。

另外,聯合航空的表現與達美航空形成鮮明對比,後者已因需求放緩而撤回指引,說明市場分化明顯。這或許提示投資者應該關注各家航空公司不同的市場定位及策略,不能一概而論。

從更廣泛的角度看,全球貿易戰和關稅政策的變動,對航空業的影響不僅是短期的需求波動,更可能改變長遠的國際旅遊格局。航空公司應積極調整策略,如加強成本控制、提升數字化服務體驗,以及開拓新的利潤增長點,才能在充滿變數的市場中保持競爭力。

總括而言,聯合航空的財務韌性值得肯定,但未來仍需警惕宏觀經濟的不確定性,投資者應保持謹慎,密切關注全球經濟及政策走向對航空業的深遠影響。
