American, United Airlines Shares Are Nosediving Thursday: What's Going On?
Jul 11, 2024 7:40 AM

Airline stocks including American Airlines Group Inc ( AAL ) and United Airlines Holdings Inc ( UAL ) are losing altitude Thursday in sympathy with Delta Air Lines Inc ( DAL ) , which fell on second-quarter earnings results.

What Happened With DAL: Delta reported second-quarter revenue of $16.658 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $15.452 billion. The company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.36 per share, missing estimates of $2.37 per share, according to estimates from Benzinga Pro.

Delta also guided for third-quarter revenue growth of 2% to 4% and adjusted earnings of $1.70 to $2 per share versus estimates of $2.06 per share. The company’s guidance fell short of analyst estimates as rising costs and increased capacity weigh on profitability, per CNBC.
