United, American, and Southwest all surge after Delta’s outlook lifts fortunes for US airlines

US airline stocks saw a significant rally on Thursday after Delta Air Lines (DAL) reported quarterly earnings that exceeded expectations and reinstated its forecast. This positive news has boosted hopes for the airline sector, which has been struggling due to consumer sentiment souring amid tariff-related uncertainty.

Following Delta’s announcement, shares of American Airlines (AAL) and United Airlines (UAL) surged by more than 11% in mid-morning trade. Southwest Airlines (LUV) also saw a 5% increase in its stock, while Alaska Air (ALK) experienced a rise of over 8%.

In recent months, many US airlines had withdrawn their 2025 financial forecasts due to widespread consumer uncertainty surrounding President Trump’s tariff policies. This uncertainty led to a decline in bookings, a crucial metric in the airline industry.

However, Delta managed to turn the tide in its pre-market report on Thursday by announcing that bookings had stabilized. The airline also reported a 5% year-over-year increase in premium ticket revenue and an 8% year-over-year increase in loyalty program revenue, despite a decrease in standard main-cabin fare revenue.

Delta CEO Ed Bastian expressed optimism about the company’s performance, stating, “As we look to the second half of our centennial year, we remain focused on executing our strategic priorities and managing the levers within our control to deliver strong earnings and cash flow.”

The company posted adjusted revenue of $15.5 billion and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.10, slightly exceeding analysts’ expectations. Delta’s operating income was $2 billion, with an operating margin of 13.2%, down from 14.7% the previous year.

Other major airlines, including United, American, Southwest, and Alaska Airlines, are scheduled to report their earnings in the coming weeks. Analysts will be closely monitoring whether these airlines can replicate Delta’s positive performance and whether they will restore their full-year forecasts.

Furthermore, airlines are expected to benefit from the recent decline in oil prices, which reduces a significant expense for the industry. Delta reported an 11% year-over-year decrease in fuel expenses in the second quarter, with the per-gallon fuel price down 14% year-over-year.

Deutsche Bank analysts anticipate that United, American, Sun Country Airlines Holdings (SNCY), and SkyWest (SKYW) are well-positioned to surpass current Street forecasts and deliver strong earnings.

In conclusion, the positive news from Delta Air Lines has provided a much-needed boost to the US airline sector. With improving financial performance and favorable market conditions, investors are hopeful for a turnaround in the industry.
