Delta Air Lines (DAL) Reiterates Annual Profit Outlook as Travel Demand Remains High

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:DAL) is one of the S&P 500 stocks with a low PE ratio. On September 11, Delta reiterated its full-year and present-quarter earnings outlook, expecting American travel demand to remain steady.

The airline raised the minimum estimate of its Q3 revenue forecast through September to 2%, up from 0%, while maintaining the maximum projection at 4%.

This favorable sentiment stands in clear contrast to the beginning of the year, when US carriers estimated lower travel demand amid Trump’s tariffs and spending cuts.

Air travel demand has rebounded, with airline executives in July optimistic about the industry’s capacity to increase ticket prices toward year-end. According to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, airfares climbed 4% in July, while holiday periods saw more Americans taking advantage of travel discounts for domestic and international flights.

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:DAL), established in 1924 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is a global provider of passenger and cargo air transportation.
