- Delta Airlines Q2 Misses Earnings Estimates Due To Costly Fuel Prices
Jul 27, 2011
Delta Airlines (NYSE:DAL) reported a Q2 loss of $0.43, narrower than analyst estimates for a loss of $0.46 per share. Revenues for the quarter rose 12.1% year-over-year to $9.15 billion, missing consensus estimates of $9.16 billion.
Richard Anderson, Delta's chief executive officer said, "High fuel prices are putting significant pressure on the industry, but the benefits of Delta's strategic actions and the dedication of Delta employees are evident in the solid profit we produced despite more than $1 billion in higher fuel expense. Our revenue momentum, coupled with the capacity reductions we are making in September and actions to get our non-fuel costs to 2010 levels, will generate the margins we need to hit our return targets."
Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) has a potential upside of 80.1% based on a current price of $8.02 and an average consensus analyst price target of $14.44.
