Latest Earnings Insight

Delta Air Lines is poised to navigate a turbulent economic landscape with its upcoming earnings report on July 10, 2025, as the company recalibrates its ambitious forecasts from earlier in the year. Despite a recent dip in share prices due to revised profit expectations, Delta's strategic adjustments and robust operational performance in 2024 set a strong foundation for 2025. The airline's EPS estimate stands at $2.04, with a revenue projection of $15.41 billion, while the whisper number suggests a more optimistic EPS of $2.33, reflecting market anticipation for Delta to outperform. With a market cap of approximately $32 billion, Delta's record-breaking revenue and operating profit in the December quarter of 2024 underscore its resilience and capacity for growth. As the company aims for over $7.35 per share in earnings for the full year 2025, investors will be keen to see if Delta can maintain its trajectory amid economic uncertainties and deliver on its promise of strong free cash flow.

Delta Air Flight Attendant Sues for Retaliation After Surviving Traumatic Tel Aviv Missile Attack
A Delta Air Lines flight attendant is suing the airline for alleged retaliation after he was terminated following a traumatic missile attack on Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport in May 2025. Mark Shannon, who had nearly a decade of service, claims he was unjustly fired after filing complaints with the FAA and EEOC when Delta reportedly refused to cover his expenses incurred due to his refusal to "deadhead" back to New York immediately after the incident. Shannon asserts his refusal was based on safety protocols and fatigue, requesting back and front pay, along with compensatory damages for emotional distress.
