There were some rough skies for a couple months there, but Delta seems to think it has now punched through to the other side.
Delta Air Lines, the world’s largest carrier by revenue, reported upbeat second quarter results and reinstated its guidance as growing economic clarity deflects headwinds resulting from a global trade war.
Delta’s encouraging report boosted the entire airline sector. United jumped 14.3%, American climbed 12.7%, JetBlue gained 7.8% and Southwest finished 8.1% higher.
U.S. financial markets were uneven before the opening bell on Thursday, even as Delta Air Lines kicked off earnings season with solid results and an improved outlook for the rest of 2025.
The demand stabilization was enough to push Delta's top and bottom lines ahead of Wall Street expectations for the second quarter. Revenue was flat at $16.65 billion, in the quarter ended June 30, beating the $15.46 billion analysts were forecasting. Total revenue per available seat mile, a key industry metric, fell 4%, to 21 cents.
