Read MoreHide Full Article
Delta Air Lines (DAL - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $59.24, moving +0.47% from the previous trading session. This move outpaced the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.29%. At the same time, the Dow lost 0.46%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.27%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the airline had gained 4% over the past month. This has outpaced the Transportation sector's gain of 3.04% and lagged the S&P 500's gain of 4.56% in that time.
DAL will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be January 14, 2020. In that report, analysts expect DAL to post earnings of $1.40 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 7.69%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $11.34 billion, up 5.59% from the year-ago period.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for DAL. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
