Delta Airlines is the first company to make stock movements after sharing its quarterly earnings for the recently concluded quarter. The airline company has reported that for the particular quarter, the analysts had estimated that the company’s quarterly earnings would be 30 cents per share. However, Delta Air Lines has successfully achieved earnings worth 43 cents per share. This is the first time the company has reported its profits since the pandemic.
As the pandemic hit the airline sector tremendously, Delta Air Lines was forced to shut down its operations for a very long time. Although the company has generated significant quarterly earnings, it has ended up incurring a loss as well. The loss has been caused by the fuel costs that have recently surged. As a result of the recent revelation of earnings and profits, the share prices for Delta Air Lines have experienced a 1.6% drop.
