Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL) continues to attract attention from analysts, with several reiterating it as a 'Top Pick' based on growing consumer demand and recent dividend increases. The airline has demonstrated the ability to manage rising fuel costs while expanding its margins, which is crucial in the current volatile environment. Analysts highlight the company's strong return on equity (ROE) and manageable debt levels, suggesting that it is well-positioned for future growth. However, some concerns do arise from the macroeconomic climate, such as geopolitical tensions and potential economic downturns, which may impact travel demand. Despite short-term challenges, the long-term outlook seems positive, especially if the airline can maintain its competitive edge within the duopoly of Delta and United.

UAL

DON'T BUY

High cost of jet fuel has a significant impact on airlines. Airline industry in the US is undergoing consolidation right now because it is in big trouble.

DON'T BUY

There apparently is going to be a merger but the biggest problem will be a cultural one between the pilots. Airlines have a host of problems including the high cost of fuel but demand is rising and load factors are going up. Wouldn't be a buyer of this.

DON'T BUY

Airlines have been scary for a while, but are recovering a bit but are now back in the same boat with sky high jet fuel prices. They only own one stock in the sector (Air France AKH-N) and he is a little bit nervous about it, but it has been doing pretty well because they've been hedging their fuel prices. Maneuvering room is extremely limited.

DON'T BUY

In tough straits. The price of fuel is their problem as refining capacity is extremely tight. Can see them under increasing pressures, even if they raise prices. May have a tough time staving off bankruptcy.

DON'T BUY

Model price is substantially below its current price. No earnings.

DON'T BUY

Have value, but no earnings. If US Air goes into bankruptcy, it will put a lot of pressure on the major airlines. Will have a tough year.

DON'T BUY

Has had a rough ride. Expect it will be going into Chapter 11 sometime. Have high fixed costs such as oil and unions.

DON'T BUY

A difficult business to get any kind of pricing power. Instead of airlines, concentrate on niche players such as Transat.

DON'T BUY

A lot of value portfolio managers are starting to look at this airline. The high price of oil is a factor that could put earnings in the red.

DON'T BUY

Generally are cautious on airlines. They have a tremendous amount of debt and very little equity value.
