Top banks reported strong earnings this week, with impressive results from Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>).
Despite significant gains in their stock prices, analysts believe these banks still have room for growth, thanks to lower price-to-earnings multiples compared to the broader market, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/17/jim-cramer-parses-bank-earnings-stocks-have-quite-a-bit-more-upside.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> CNBC.
Investors who owned shares in these banks likely benefitted from the positive earnings reports, with some experts suggesting adding one or two of these names to portfolios moving forward.
Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; reviewed the week&#8217;s earnings and expressed confidence in the banking sector&#8217;s continued potential.
Cramer also discussed how next week&#8217;s market could be influenced by the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, who is expected to take action on deregulation and other pro-business policies, CNBC reports.

Cramer noted he is optimistic about results from 3M Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) and United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), predicting a strong quarter for both.
He is especially bullish on GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>), citing the growing demand for energy in the data center sector, though he is more cautious about Halliburton Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>)&nbsp;&nbsp;due to market uncertainties.
With earnings rolling in and political changes ahead, investors should stay vigilant, as market conditions could shift quickly in the coming days. Cramer&#8217;s advice is to keep an eye on both corporate performance and potential regulatory changes under the new administration, CNBC adds.

Looking At United Airlines Holdings's Recent Unusual Options Activity

A recent analyst note from Bank of America outlines a mixed outlook for the U.S. airline industry in 2025, emphasizing strong performance from network carriers and challenges for leisure-focused <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/airlines">airlines</a>.
What To Know: Lead analyst Andrew Didora says Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) leads the pack with robust revenue growth, fueled by corporate travel, premium offerings and Atlantic route expansion. Its Buy rating is reaffirmed with an unchanged price target of $78.
United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) also holds a Buy rating, supported by similar trends, with a price target of $120.

American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) has been upgraded to Neutral and its price target has been raised from $12 to $20. BofA says the airline stands to benefit from Delta-driven industry trends, including premium revenue growth and recovery in corporate travel. BofA also notes the potential to recapture $1.5 billion in market share lost in 2024, though execution risks temper expectations.
Conversely, Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) and JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) face downgrades to Underperform. Southwest's price target is lowered from $33 to $31, reflecting challenges in adapting to post-COVID-19 pandemic industry dynamics, including competition from premium and corporate-focused carriers.
JetBlue's price target remains at $6.50 despite limited capacity growth and higher costs, compounded by a tough comparison to 2024's early Easter holiday.

Alaska Air Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), rated Buy, sees its price target raised to $80 from $70 by BofA, bolstered by opportunities from its Hawaiian Airlines acquisition.
Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>) also benefits from a price target increase, climbing from $54 to $95, although concerns about pilot contracts and rising fuel costs persist. 
Frontier Group Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>), rated Neutral, has its price target adjusted upward from $7.50 to $9 due to slightly higher earnings forecasts.
What Else: While rising jet fuel prices, up 8% year-to-date, weigh on the sector, network carriers like Delta, United and American remain better positioned. BofA expects these airlines to outperform in 2025, leveraging premium revenues and international routes to navigate cost pressures.

Trump Cabinet Confirmation Hearings On Wednesday: Departments Of Transportation, Energy, State; Attorney General, CIA Director

U.S. Global Investors Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GROW#NASDAQ">GROW</a>) <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/01/13/3008669/0/en/U-S-Global-Investors-Highlights-Positive-2024-Results-for-Its-Thematic-Smart-Beta-2-0-ETFs.html">celebrated </a>a banner year in 2024 with its flagship ETFs witnessing solid returns.
The standout performer? The U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>) soared 33.21% higher, spurred by an uptick in travel demand, effective capacity management and lower fuel prices. These drivers helped lift the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aviation">broader aviation sector</a> fly high.
The Transportation Security Administration&nbsp;(TSA) reportedly screened more than 900 million passengers, up 5% compared to 2023.
United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) was the biggest winner, with its stock soaring 135% on-year in 2024.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Global Jets ETF: An Investment to Consider?</h1>
The U.S. Global Jets ETF aims to replicate the performance of the U.S. Global Jets Index through a portfolio of 51 securities. With an asset base of $1.07 billion, the fund has an expense ratio of 0.60%, which can be a cost-effective investment choice. In addition, this fund allocates almost half of its holdings to large-cap stocks, and top holdings include American Airlines Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>),&nbsp;Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) and United Airlines.
Moreover, this pure-play aviation holds stocks of both domestic and international companies with a range of market capitalization.&nbsp;This spreads out the risk of volatility in a particular geographic region.
Nonetheless, a point to be noted here is that the fund features a beta of 1.43, which means it is at slightly higher risk to be more volatile than the market.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Other U.S. Global ETFs that Contributed to a Stellar Year</h1>

Behind the Scenes of United Airlines Holdings's Latest Options Trends

A United Airlines Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) analyst says the company could mirror recent earnings strength and guidance that Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) had when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">on Jan. 21.</a>
The United Airlines Analyst: Bank of America analyst Andrew Didora reiterated a Buy rating on United Airlines and raised the price target from $100 to $120.
The Analyst Takeaways: United Airlines could be the biggest winner from a strong outlook<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42912208/delta-stock-jumps-after-record-q4-earnings-and-strong-2025-outlook"> shared by Delta, </a>Didora said in a new investor note.
"We expect UAL to report strong 4Q24 results and guide 1Q25 ahead of consensus when the company reports earnings on 1/21," Didora said.
The analyst raised fourth quarter, first quarter and full year 2025 earnings per share estimates ahead of the earnings report.
"The airline is the biggest beneficiary of the strong premium, corporate, and transatlantic growth mentioned in DAL's earnings report last week."
Didora said United's premium product offering and coastal hubs that see strong corporate share should see the airline company reporting results in line with Delta or better.
"The magnitude of DAL's +7-9% 1Q25 revenue guide was a positive surprise to us, and this outlook was well ahead of our prior/Visible Alpha consensus 1Q25 revenue growth forecast of +6.0% for UAL."
The analyst estimates UAL could see 7.5% year-over-year growth in the first quarter based on Delta's report.
"We are modeling consistent unit revenue growth throughout 2025 of around 3% for total revenue growth of +7.6%."
The analyst said the new forecast should allow United to see both higher earnings and free cash flow, allowing the company to complete its buyback and see "further de-leveraging."
UAL Price Action: United Airlines stock is down 3.32% to $103.52 at publication Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $37.02 to $110.92. United Airlines stock is up 164% over the last year.

Walgreens Boots Alliance, Aurora Innovation And Delta Air Lines Are Among Top Large Cap Gainers Last Week (Jan 6-10): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Wall Street faced heavy selling pressure in its first trading session after former President Jimmy Carter's funeral, as a series of economic developments rattled interest rate and energy markets, sparking heightened <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">risk aversion among investors.</a>
The U.S. economy added 256,000 jobs in December, far exceeding expectations of a slowdown to 160,000. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, defying forecasts that had anticipated it to remain at 4.2%.
This red-hot labor market data spurred traders to recalibrate their interest-rate projections. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, expectations for a rate cut have been postponed even further, with markets now fully pricing in a reduction only by September 2025.
Adding to market turmoil, oil prices — as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) — surged more than 3% to $76 per barrel after the Biden administration imposed stricter sanctions on Russian oil exports. These measures targeted major Russian oil companies, shadow fleet tankers and opaque trading networks, intensifying pressure on Moscow&#8217;s energy revenues.
Rising interest rate concerns and inflation uncertainty weighed heavily on equities. The latest University of Michigan consumer survey showed five-year inflation expectations rise to 3.3%, the highest since June 2008.
The S&amp;P 500 dropped nearly 2%, hovering around the 5,800-point level, fully erasing gains made since the election. 
Technology and small-cap stocks bore the brunt of the sell-off, with sharper declines across both sectors.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) climbed to 109.70, marking its highest level since November 2022. The greenback is on track to notch its sixth consecutive weekly gain and has risen in 14 of the past 15 weeks, underscoring its dominance as a safe haven amid market turbulence.
Treasury yields climbed further as fixed-income investors braced for the possibility of persistent inflation. The 10-year Treasury yield rose seven basis points to 4.76%, nearing its late October 2023 highs.
The 30-year Treasury yield briefly touched the 5% mark, a level last seen in October 2023 and previously in August 2007.
Gold prices offered a haven for risk-averse investors, climbing 0.9% as geopolitical uncertainties mounted.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) saw some dip-buying activity, up by 1.2%, snapping a three-day losing streak during which it shed 10% of its value.

Wildfire Rips Through LA's Pacific Palisades Neighborhood Destroying Homes: 3,000 Acres Burned As 30,000 Residents Evacuate

Southern California is bracing for another <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39583371/july-fourth-heat-california-faces-blackout-and-fire-risks-this-week-during-triple-digit-temperat">severe weather event</a> as the National Weather Service says an incoming windstorm could lead to wildfires.
The Forecast: The windstorm will hit most of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, according to an NWS <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nwslosangeles/p/DEghe26MjNM/">post</a> on Monday night labeling the weather as an &#8220;extreme risk.&#8221; The agency anticipates 50 to 80 mile-per-hour wind gusts with increased exposure in mountainous regions. 
The warning spans Tuesday to Thursday.
&#8220;Strong winds are coming. This is a Particularly Dangerous Situation &#8211; in other words, this is about as bad as it gets in terms of fire weather,&#8221; the post read. &#8220;Stay aware of your surroundings. Be ready to evacuate, especially if in a high fire risk area. Be careful with fire sources.&#8221;
A <a href="https://x.com/NWSLosAngeles/status/1876408016930803836">post</a> on X said the wind could lead to downed trees, many power outages and significant airport delays at LAX.

Edison International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EIX#NYSE">EIX</a>) also services the region and could face significant exposure.
Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) and United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) are the <a href="https://www.lawa.org/-/media/lawa-web/statistics/market-share-statistics/aircarrier-2023.ashx">largest</a> airlines with flights out of LAX.
