UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – Delta Air Lines' strong Q2 earnings, driven by premium seat sales and a 10% revenue increase from its American Express partnership, led to a 13% jump in shares, reinstating its 2025 profit outlook.
- In a July 10 release, Delta Air Lines reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $2.10 on $15.51 billion revenue, trimming 2025 profit forecasts due to demand and industry glut.

- In response to strong earnings, Delta's shares soared 13% in premarket trading, while rival airlines withdrew guidance and announced flight capacity cuts.
- For Q3, Delta projects adjusted EPS of $1.25–$1.75 versus $1.31 consensus, with planned 'surgical' capacity reductions after summer.
