EOSE

FWRD

Stanley Druckenmiller, George Soros&#8216; former money manager, made several trades in 2024&#8217;s fourth quarter. Perhaps most notable is a new position in United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/01/43138821/united-airlines-analysts-remain-bullish-as-revenue-exceeds-estimates">the company&#8217;s turnaround</a>.
What Happened: Institutional investment managers are legally required to disclose their quarter-end holdings in 13f filings. Druckenmiller&#8217;s Duquesne Family Office filed on Friday.
According to the filing, Duquesne owned 1,043,805 shares of United Airlines as of Dec. 31, 2024. The position represents 2.7% of the family office&#8217;s portfolio.
Druckenmiller previously owned shares of the Chicago-based company in 2017.
Why it Matters: Druckenmiller&#8217;s thought process behind his investment is unclear.
United Airlines beat earnings and revenue estimates in its third and fourth quarters of 2024. The company lagged behind Delta Airlines and American Airlines following the COVID-19 pandemic but has recovered since then.
United Airlines&#8217; share price has risen over 80% since the end of September, reflecting investor optimism about the airline&#8217;s recovery and growth prospects.
The company has focused on <a href="https://www.united.com/en/us/newsroom/announcements/cision-125351">expanding</a> international routes, <a href="https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/new-united-fleet-experience.html">upgrading</a> its fleet, and enhancing customer experience, which may have contributed to its recent success. Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/12/42745629/gas-prices-to-fall-in-2025-gasbuddy-says-welcome-relief-for-drivers">falling jet fuel prices</a> and strong demand for air travel have bolstered profitability across the industry.
Druckenmiller&#8217;s investment could signal confidence in United Airlines&#8217; strategic direction and long-term growth potential. Investors will be watching closely to see if he increases his stake in the coming quarters, potentially influencing market sentiment toward the airline sector.

Stanley Druckenmiller Bet Big On United Airlines As Company Rebounded In Q4

Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller&#8216;s family office Duquesne has divested his entire stake in Broadcom, simultaneously increasing his investments in major tech companies, as revealed in a recent 13-F filing.
What Happened: According to a recent&nbsp;SEC filing, Druckenmiller, a seasoned investor, sold all his shares of&nbsp;Broadcom Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) in the fourth quarter. This move comes on the heels of his total exit from Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), a competing chipmaker, a few months prior.
In the closing months of 2024, Druckenmiller significantly reduced his tech stock portfolio, selling his entire stakes in&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>),&nbsp;Adobe Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) and&nbsp;Autodesk Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>). He also completely sold his stake in&nbsp;Starbucks Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) and his shares in insurance company&nbsp;Chubb Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>).
Despite these divestments, Druckenmiller increased his investments in several big tech companies in the same quarter, acquiring new positions in&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>),&nbsp;Amazon.com Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Elon Musk&#8216;s electric vehicle manufacturer&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Druckenmiller&#8217;s Duquesne also initiated new investments in United Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NYSE">UAL</a>), Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), Warner Bros. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NYSE">WBD</a>), Skechers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>), and Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>).
The most significant holding in his Duquesne Family Office remains Natera (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTRA#NASDAQ">NTRA</a>), the clinical genetic-testing company in which they held a stake since 2022. Natera holdings account for just over 15% of the portfolio. Meanwhile, the firm increased its stake in Teva Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) by nearly 6.3 times.

Why It Matters: Druckenmiller, who formerly managed hedge funds for George Soros, now manages his own wealth through the Duquesne Family Office, which has investments worth nearly $3.72 billion.
The billionaire investor&#8217;s latest moves follow his earlier divestments in AI stocks. During the third quarter of 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42668157/stanley-druckenmiller-dumps-streets-hottest-ai-stocks-heres-what-the-billionaire-investor-is-betting-on-next">Druckenmiller sold all of its Nvidia shares and significantly reduced its Palantir holdings</a> by 95%. This occurred despite Nvidia and Palantir experiencing significant stock surges that year, with Nvidia&#8217;s stock increasing nearly 190% and Palantir&#8217;s shares gaining over 386%. 
The current quarter&#8217;s exit from Broadcom despite the stock surging more than 100% over the past year appears as a profit booking move. Meanwhile, other additions in big tech stocks show his growing confidence in the sector.
Druckenmiller added Tesla to its portfolio which surged over 83% in the past year. However, the stock plunged more than 16% over the last month, amid declining global sales, regulatory roadblocks in China, earnings disappointment, and Musk&#8217;s increasing political involvement.

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) shares are trading lower on Thursday following American Airlines Group, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) latest earnings report, which issued weak guidance for the 2025 first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43159332">and fiscal-year.</a>
The Details: American projects a loss between 40 and 20 cents per share for the first-quarter, versus analysts estimate of a loss of 4 cents per share. For the 2025 fiscal-year, the company forecasts adjusted earnings per share between $1.70 and $2.70, versus analysts estimate of $2.42.
The company said its guidance is based upon current demand trends and anticipated jet fuel costs. Additionally, American expects total revenue to grow by approximately 3% to 5% year-over-year in the first-quarter and by 4.5% to 7.5% for the 2025 fiscal-year.
United shares may be moving lower following weak guidance from American, as both companies operate in the same industry and could face similar headwinds, such as increased jet fuel costs.
How To Buy United Airlines Stock
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for United Airlines &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
In the the case of United Airlines, which is trading at $105.06 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.95 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
