Delta Air Lines stock (DAL) fell on Wednesday, erasing early gains after the company topped first-quarter earnings forecasts. The dip occurred amidst a broader downturn among airline stocks, which initially led gains in the S&P 500 index during early trading.
Delta Air Lines announced an impressive 80% jump in its adjusted earnings for the first quarter, reaching 45 cents per share, alongside a 6% increase in revenue to $12.6 billion— a record high for the company in the first quarter.
The figures exceeded FactSet analysts’ projections, as they had anticipated a 44% rise in earnings to 36 cents per share and a revenue increase of 5.7% to $12.52 billion.
Delta highlighted a surge in corporate travel demand, with managed corporate sales climbing 14% compared to the previous year. Domestic unit revenues also increased by 3% year-over-year, setting a new record for the March quarter.
