Sterne Agee Reiterates Buy Rating, $35 PT on United Continental Holdings

In a report published Friday, Sterne Agee Group reiterated its Buy rating and $35.00 price target on United Continental Holdings

. Sterne Agee noted, “Despite an overall improved airline environment, we are lowering EPS expectations for UAL related to somewhat company specific issues - larger winter storm impact than last year, and earlier than expected labor accruals for new labor contracts. We don't see either of these issues materially affecting our 2013 expectations. Our 2013/2014 estimates change slightly on lower capacity.” United Continental Holdings closed on Thursday at $23.19.
