Wall Street expects Delta to report $1.50 per share for Q2, a near 29% drop year-over-year, despite 13% revenue growth.
Delta Air Lines (DAL) is set to release second-quarter earnings on Friday, with analysts forecasting a 29% year-over-year decline in earnings per share to $1.50. Revenue is expected to rise about 13% to $18.85 billion, driven by strong premium demand but offset by elevated fuel costs.
The projected earnings drop contrasts with last year’s stronger performance, reflecting broader industry challenges. Consensus estimates align with Delta’s own guidance, though fuel price volatility remains a key risk factor for the quarter.
Markets will focus on Delta’s commentary around demand trends and cost management amid persistent inflationary pressures in the aviation sector.
