On June 25, Delta Air Lines rose 3.13% in regular trading, trading at $94.43 per share with turnover of $152 million, as a confluence of bullish catalysts continued to lift the stock.
On the news front, multiple investment banks have recently issued significant target price upgrades. Jefferies raised its target from $81 to $100, UBS lifted its target from $98 to $107, Argus Research moved from $85 to $100, and Bank of America adjusted from $78 to $93, all maintaining buy-equivalent ratings. Meanwhile, crude oil prices fell below $70 per barrel, directly reducing the airline industry's largest cost component. Delta also recently announced a quarterly dividend increase from $0.1875 to $0.2150 per share, reinforcing shareholder return expectations.
The broader airline sector rallied in tandem, with Bank of America noting that airlines are benefiting from strong demand, rising fares, and capacity discipline. Within the sector, JetBlue Airways rose 4.84%, United Airlines gained 4.91%, and Southwest Airlines advanced 3.16%.
