• MarketBeat's stock screener flags five airline stocks to watch — United Airlines (UAL), American Airlines (AAL), Delta Air Lines (DAL), Southwest Airlines (LUV), and Joby Aviation (JOBY) — after they posted the highest dollar trading volume among airline stocks recently.
• Airline stocks are cyclical and volatile, highly sensitive to economic growth, travel demand, fuel prices and capacity, so investors monitor metrics like load factor, yields, and capacity management when evaluating them.
• Joby Aviation stands out as an eVTOL air-mobility play aiming to build an aerial ridesharing service, contrasting with the traditional passenger and cargo carriers on the list.

United Airlines, American Airlines Group, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, and Joby Aviation are the five Airline stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Airline stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is operating passenger and cargo air transport, giving investors ownership claims on the carriers’ revenue, assets and future profits. They tend to be cyclical and volatile—sensitive to economic growth, travel demand, fuel prices, capacity and regulation—because airlines have high fixed costs and thin margins, so investors watch metrics like load factor, yields and capacity management when evaluating them. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Airline stocks within the last several days.
