US EditionThese Analysts Increase Their Forecasts On Delta Air Lines After Better-Than-Expected Q2 Earnings - Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL)
UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – Delta's Q2 revenue hit a record $15.5 billion with pre-tax profits of $1.8 billion driven by a 5% rise in premium travel and AI-enabled ticket pricing boosting efficiency and revenue.
- Delta Air Lines reported its highest-ever second-quarter revenue of $15.5 billion and delivered results that surpassed expectations, leading to a 12% increase in its stock price.
- The results followed a rocky start to 2025 marked by a third of its share price lost by April amid economic uncertainty and tariff concerns.
- Delta plans to use AI pricing technology for about 20% of its domestic fares by the end of 2025 after partnering with Fetcherr, an Israeli AI firm.
- Delta President Glen Hauenstein described the AI as a "super analyst" working 24/7 to optimize fares, while analysts raised price targets up to $90 post-earnings.
- The strong second-quarter performance and AI adoption suggest Delta aims to increase profitability despite softer main cabin demand and reduced inbound traffic from Europe.
