Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL) is seen as a strong pick among analysts, largely due to robust travel demand and improved financial metrics post-pandemic. The airline has reported better-than-expected earnings and significant growth in cash reserves, while simultaneously reducing debt. Analysts are optimistic about DAL's earnings trajectory, projecting substantial growth over the next few years, and highlight its competitive edge in maintaining capacity without initiating price wars. Additionally, the stock is considered relatively cheap compared to the S&P, with a low price-to-earnings ratio that contributes to a positive assessment. There is general agreement among experts that the airline sector, particularly DAL, remains strong despite a few market challenges.
They just cut guidance, because the US consumer is starting to stall, due to weaker consumer guidance. They cut their revenue forecast from 8% to 4%, but in a recession they'd be down double digits. Stock weakness also happened after two high-profile plane crashes
Airlines are under pressure right now, but will do well this summer with strong travel demand.
Fuel prices are now low, there's no labour contracts up for negotiation and plane travel demand is high. Also, the PE is now attractive. His pick is DAL in this space. They will probably earn $7.50 this year and $8.50 next. Make sense to put a 10x multiple on it.
Following better than expected Q4 earnings, we again reiterate DAL as a TOP PICK. EPS growth was 45% over the year and the partnership with AMEX added another $2 billion to the bottom line. Management expects 10% earnings growth in 2025 as premium routes allow margins to continue to grow. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $54) to $60, looking to achieve $83 — upside potential of 19%. Yield 0.7%
(Analysts’ price target is $82.95)It reports Thursday, Airlines are no longer building capacity, but are keeping capacity tight and prevent create price wars. Airline profits and demand remain robust.
We reiterate DAL as a TOP PICK. Analysts forecast another 11% growth in international cargo demand and the airline has one of the best diversified networks in the world -- even if the new US Administration imposes tariffs. We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired. It trades at 9x earnings and supports a 40% ROE. We recommend keeping a tight stop at $54, looking to achieve $76 -- upside potential of 20%. Yield 0.8% Season's Greetings!
(Analysts’ price target is $75.75)This and UAL were momentum plays, and he chased when the momentum began to build and he's been rewarded. True, he was skeptical about their fundamentals.
Despite a huge run and despite a projected decline in overall airline capacity, DAL trades at only 10x PE, cheap, half the S&P's PE. Will continue to do well as long as it doesn't add too many new flights.
US airline passengers volumes have finally returned to pre-Covid levels (vs. 16 months after 9/11, and 19 months after the 2008 crisis). UAL just announced a beat and strong guidance; UAL said the price wars are over, so this has lifted the entire airline industry. DAL just announced 7 new destinations to Europe and increases flights on some routes, like Atlanta to Barcelona.
They report Tuesday. Lots of moving parts now, but overall demand remains high. The problem in recent months is overcapacity in the airline industry.
The airline sector has come off again. Delta is the dominant carrier in Atlanta airport, the world's biggest airport and it is the least unionized airline. Also they own their own refinery and fuel is a big expense. It trades at 6X next year's earnings. Buy 21 Hold 1 Sell 0
(Analysts’ price target is $59.05)Though the PE is reasonable, he's troubled by the lawsuit against Crowdstrike.
We again reiterate DAL as a TOP PICK. Fitch just upgraded their credit rating back to investment grade, commenting their metrics have improved considerably after the pandemic. The company has reduced gross debt aggressively and downsized its leases by $11 billion over the past three years. It trades at 7x earnings, 2.2x book and supports a robust 43% ROE. We continue to recommend maintaining a tight stop at $43, looking to achieve $61 -- upside potential of 31%. Yield 1.4%
(Analysts’ price target is $61.32)
