Delta Air Lines: Strategic Adjustments and Market Conditions Support Buy Rating Amid Revenue Shortfall

Raymond James analyst Savanthi Syth has maintained their bullish stance on DAL stock, giving a Buy rating today.

Savanthi Syth’s rating is based on a combination of factors that highlight Delta Air Lines’ strategic positioning and future prospects. Despite a notable revenue shortfall in the first quarter of 2025, attributed to decreased consumer and corporate confidence and higher fuel prices, Delta is showing signs of recovery. The company has adjusted its revenue management strategy, leading to improved booking trends for the second quarter, particularly in the 14-30 day and 30-60 day windows, which are expected to bolster performance.
Furthermore, Delta has reiterated its 2025 earnings guidance, supported by favorable peak season demand indicators and a recent decline in fuel prices, which are expected to positively impact the full-year outlook. While the first quarter faced challenges, the overall sentiment remains optimistic, with Delta’s strategic adjustments and market conditions suggesting potential growth. This combination of factors underpins Savanthi Syth’s Buy rating for Delta Air Lines, reflecting confidence in the company’s ability to navigate short-term hurdles and capitalize on future opportunities.

According to TipRanks, Syth is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 6.0% and a 49.09% success rate. Syth covers the Industrials sector, focusing on stocks such as Delta Air Lines, Allegiant Travel Company, and SkyWest.

In another report released today, Morgan Stanley also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $100.00 price target.
