Delta Air Lines released their latest earnings report Thursday, saying that the results so far for the quarter were in line with expectations from April.

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 is scheduled to release its second-quarter results Thursday, setting the tone for other carriers like United, Southwest, and American, each set to report later this month.

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.

Delta Air Lines stocks surged by over 10% following impressive Q2 earnings, signaling greater economic clarity stemming from tax reforms and finalized trade deals, bolstering consumer confidence in discretionary travel spending.

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.
