What the Analysts think about Delta Air Lines
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Delta Air Lines stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Delta Air Lines stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Delta beat its June-quarter guidance and reaffirmed adjusted EPS of $6.50–$7.50 and free cash flow of $3–4 billion for 2026. It expects mid-teens revenue growth and an 11–13% operating margin in the September quarter, despite only modest capacity growth. (Reuters, Delta Air Lines)
Delta is becoming less dependent on ordinary seat sales. Premium revenue rose 17%, loyalty revenue 19%, and diverse revenue streams reached 61% of total revenue, while American Express remuneration grew 16% to $2.4 billion. (Delta Air Lines)
The airline is strengthening shareholder returns while reducing financial risk. It cut adjusted net debt, is targeting gross leverage of about 2x by year-end, and raised its dividend by 15% from the September quarter. (Delta Air Lines)
Fuel remains the clearest threat to profits. Delta expects its 2026 fuel bill to be about $4 billion higher than last year, and its June-quarter adjusted earnings fell 26% even after it recovered around 60% of the fuel-cost increase through higher fares. (Reuters, Delta Air Lines)
Non-fuel costs and operational disruption are still weighing on margins. Delta reported 6% non-fuel unit-cost growth in the March quarter, citing higher crew costs and capacity actions, and said improving operational resilience remains a priority. (Delta Air Lines)
Recent fare increases may not prove durable once fuel prices ease and airlines restore capacity. Reuters identified this as the key investor question, while Delta’s own outlook says its expected revenue strength beyond the summer is still an early trend rather than a proven cycle.
