On August 3, Delta Air Lines rose 3.36% in regular trading, trading at $91.44/share, with turnover of $82.43 million. The move came as Goldman Sachs added Delta Air Lines to its US equity list alongside names such as Applied Materials, Microsoft, and United Parcel Service, providing a fresh catalyst for the stock.

The broader airline sector showed notable strength, with American Airlines up 6.65%, United Airlines up 6.07%, JetBlue Airways up 4.36%, Southwest Airlines up 3.65%, and Joby Aviation up 1.61%. Delta has benefited from a series of positive developments in recent weeks, including multiple analyst price target upgrades following a strong Q2 earnings report on July 10, where the company beat expectations despite record-high fuel costs and reaffirmed full-year EPS guidance of $6.50 to $7.50. The company has also been expanding its international route network with new direct flights to Saudi Arabia and Manila.
