Today’s video takes a quick look at Delta Air Lines (DAL Quick QuoteDAL - Free Report) heading into their earnings report. The company is one of the most important ones in the air transportation market, so its report can definitely set the tone for the space, making it a closely watched release for investors.

The stock will definitely need a nice report to soothe investor concerns though, as shares of this name have been under pressure for much of the year, like other stocks in the space. In fact, the airline industry currently has a rank in the bottom 30%, suggesting that many companies have poor Zacks Ranks in this corner of the stock world.

DAL has just escaped a similar fate, as its Zacks Rank has just been upgraded out of ‘sell’ territory and into hold. The stock does have a nice VGM score suggesting strong fundamentals though, while it has an excellent history in earnings season, something that could bode well for its report later in the week.
