On July 24, Delta Air Lines rose 3.12% in regular trading, trading at $84.47/share, with turnover of $103 million.
On the news front, the airline sector staged a broad rebound following the previous session's collective decline triggered by American Airlines' quarterly earnings release. American Airlines led the recovery with a gain of over 5%, while JetBlue Airways rose 4.17%, United Airlines gained 2.81%, and Southwest Airlines added 1.99%, reflecting a swift recovery in sector sentiment that lifted Delta Air Lines in tandem.
Notably, Delta Air Lines had previously reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $1.56, exceeding the FactSet consensus estimate of $1.49, and reaffirmed its full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $6.50 to $7.50, well above the market estimate of $6.00. However, Q2 fuel costs surged 67% year-over-year to $4.1 billion, pressuring net income down 25%. The company's ownership of a refinery partially offsets fuel cost headwinds relative to peers, supporting its positioning within the sector recovery.
