Delta Air Lines Is Up 10% This Year and Still Trades at Less Than 12 Times Earnings
Yahoo Finance ·
Airline stocks tend to be volatile, and Delta Air Lines ( DAL +1.84% ) is no exception. Airline companies tend to have fixed costs and exposure to highly dynamic variable costs, such as jet fuel, and transportation demand can ebb and flow. This all leaves them exposed to a cycle of declining earnings as revenue dries up while they continue to run routes with lower-than-expected load factors. These risks are why stocks like Delta Air Lines tend to trade at low valuations. To be clear, despite maintaining its full-year 2026 guidance for earnings per share of $6.50-$7.50 and free cash flow (FCF) of $3 billion to $4 billion, Delta has been negatively impacted by events.
