After withdrawing its outlook in April, Delta is again forecasting a profit—though at a significantly lower level than originally projected.

Delta Air Lines DAL reported second-quarter 2025 earnings (excluding $1.17 per share from non-recurring items) of $2.10 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.04. Earnings decreased 11% on a year-over-year basis due to high labor costs.

Delta Air Lines' strong earnings and projected growth provided an early boom for the airline industry as the rest of the major carriers prepare to report.

Analysts expect that airlines will have a tepid earnings season as tariff uncertainty and declining U.S. dollar weigh on the industry.

Delta Air Lines' stock has gained nearly 3% over the past week ahead of the company’s earnings before the bell on Thursday. According to Fiscal.ai data, Wall Street expects the company to post second-quarter earnings per share (EPS) of $2.
