UBS sees high bar for Delta Air Lines' Q4 revenue growth amid mixed earnings expectations

UBS highlights a challenging outlook for Delta Air Lines' fourth-quarter revenue growth, with investors expecting around 19% growth but cautious on earnings guidance. Third-quarter revenue is forecasted to grow about 16% to 16.5%, with earnings per share estimates ranging from $1.70 to $1.90. Fuel costs remain a key variable, impacting earnings forecasts significantly. UBS maintains a 'buy' rating and a $105 price target, anticipating a return to lower operating cost growth by 2027.

Delta Air Lines shares are trading at USD 83.07 on Pluang as of Oct 07, 2026 01:42 WIB, slightly below its 52-week high of USD 93.66 but well above the 52-week low of USD 55.65. Despite the cautious outlook on fourth-quarter revenue growth and earnings guidance highlighted by UBS, the stock's dividend yield remains modest at 1.04%. The current price reflects a near-flat 1-day change of -0.01%, indicating stability amid the revenue concerns discussed.
