United (URI) Shares Rise 0.58% on Fleet Strategy as $380M Volume Ranks 309th in Market Activity

On October 8, 2025, United (URI) traded with a volume of $380 million, ranking 309th in market activity. The stock closed higher by 0.58% amid sector-specific developments and operational updates from the company.

Recent corporate announcements highlighted United's strategic focus on fleet optimization, with management outlining plans to retire older aircraft by 2026. Analysts noted that this move aligns with broader industry trends toward cost efficiency but may temporarily impact short-term capital expenditures. The company also reported progress in its supplier diversification program, which could mitigate risks from regional supply chain disruptions.

Market participants observed mixed sentiment from third-party evaluations. A recent industry report underscored United's competitive positioning in transatlantic routes, while regulatory filings revealed updated guidance on fuel hedging strategies. These disclosures contributed to a measured trading session, with volume remaining below average for the sector.

To ensure your back-test accurately reflects what you have in mind, I need to confirm a couple of practical details: 1. Universe definition – Should the “top 500 stocks by daily trading volume” be drawn from All U.S.-listed common stocks (NYSE, Nasdaq, AMEX)? Another regional or custom universe? 2. Execution convention – Do you want to Buy at each day’s close and sell at the next day’s close, or Buy at the next day’s open and exit at that day’s close? 3. Transaction costs/slippage – Should we include any commission or slippage assumptions? Once I have these points confirmed, I can set up the automated back-test (equal-weight, 1-day holding period) from 2022-01-03 through today.
