Delta Air Lines Inc. News:
Atlanta-based carrier Delta Air Lines Inc is set to announce an upward revision in its full-year earnings forecast during its investor presentation on Tuesday. The anticipated increase is attributed to strong travel demand and a reduction in fuel costs, as per analysts’ predictions. Moreover, industry experts speculate that Delta might disclose additional details about its plans to expand its loyalty credit card and jet maintenance and repair businesses.
With the persistent resilience of travel demand, particularly for international journeys, and a moderation in fuel prices, analysts have adjusted their profit estimates for Delta. Previously, the company had projected an adjusted profit in the range of $5 to $6 per share for the year 2023. However, the favorable market conditions have prompted analysts to raise their expectations.
Delta’s positive outlook is fueled by the robust recovery in the travel industry, with more people returning to the skies. This increase in passenger volume contributes to higher revenue for the airline. Additionally, a decline in fuel expenses has significantly alleviated the financial burden on Delta, further bolstering its profitability prospects.
