United Airlines Q4 profit dips 20.2% but beats estimates

United Airlines parent United Continental Holdings (UAL) reported a 20.2% dip in earnings for the fourth quarter due to higher operating expenses. However, the results exceeded analysts’ expectations. The company also issued adjusted earnings guidance for full-year 2019.
