Delta Airlines Inc (NYSE: DAL) reported record revenue with air travel demand being at record highs, but profits couldn’t keep up the pace due to discounted airfares, falling 30%. 

Delta Signals Trouble Despite Healthy Travel Demand And Record Traffic

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. - Common Stock

United Airlines Holdings Inc

United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) reported second-quarter financial results Wednesday after the bell. Here&#8217;s a look at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UAL">key metrics from the quarter</a>.
Q2 Earnings: United Airlines reported second-quarter revenue of $14.986 billion, missing the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate</a>&nbsp;of $15.096 billion, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/gxjhpowx7zks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>. The airline company reported adjusted quarterly earnings of $4.14 per share, beating analyst estimates of $3.95 per share.
United said capacity was up 8.3% on a year-over-year basis. TRASM (total revenue per available seat mile) was down 2.4% and CASM (cost per available seat mile) was down 4.8%.
United ended the quarter with $18.2 billion in total liquidity and $26.6 billion in total debt and finance lease obligations.
&#8220;The revenue diversity advantages that we&#8217;ve built with our premium customers, Basic Economy customers, and domestic road warriors, on top of the world&#8217;s best loyalty program and leading customer service, have propelled our margins to near the top of the industry,&#8221; said&nbsp;Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines.

Outlook: United Airlines reiterated expectations for full-year 2024 adjusted earnings of $9 to $11 per share versus estimates of $10.04 per share.
&#8220;Looking forward, we see multiple airlines have begun to cancel loss-making capacity, and we expect leading unit revenue performance among our largest peers in the second half of the third quarter. United has long been preparing for the moment when industry wide domestic capacity would adjust — it&#8217;s now clear that inflection point is just 30 days away,&#8221; Kirby said.
Management will hold a conference call to discuss its quarterly results Thursday morning at 10:30 a.m. ET.
United Airlines shares dropped about 6% last week after Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) fell on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39726801/delta-air-lines-q2-earnings-eps-miss-revenue-beat-underwhelming-q3-eps-outlook-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter earnings</a>. Delta&#8217;s guidance came up short of analyst estimates as rising costs and increased capacity weighed on profitability. That move may be taking some of the sting out of United&#8217;s top-line miss Wednesday.
UAL Price Action: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UAL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Airlines shares</a> were down 0.94% in after hours, trading at $46.50at the time of publication, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/gxjhpowx7zks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The S&amp;P 500 dropped 1.2%, while blue-chip stocks of the Dow Jones rose 0.6% to 41,200 points, extending their all-time highs and marking a sixth consecutive session of gains. Meanwhile, small caps took a breather, with the Russell 2000 index falling 1%, ending a five-day winning streak.
U.S. natural gas futures fell over 6%, hitting two-month lows, due to lower-than-expected cooling demand amid milder weather forecasts for the next two weeks.
Oil prices rallied 1.9% after U.S. inventories declined again last week. Gold edged down 0.5% from the all-time highs reached on Tuesday. The dollar fell 0.4%, with the dollar-yen pair dropping 1.3%.

Whether to sell or hold a stock largely depends on an investor's strategy and risk tolerance. Swing traders may sell an outperforming stock to lock in a capital gain, while long-term investors might ride out the turbulence in anticipation of further share price growth.
Similarly, traders willing to minimize losses may sell a stock that falls a certain percentage, while long-term investors may see this as an opportunity to buy more shares at a discounted price.
Shares of United Airlines Holdings have lost 14.43% year to date. This compares to the average annual return of 2.7%, meaning the stock has underperformed its historical averages. Investors can compare a stock's movement to its historical performance to gauge whether this is a normal movement or a potential trading opportunity. 
Investors may also consider market dynamics. The Relative Strength Index can be used to indicate whether a stock is overbought or oversold. United Airlines Holdings stock currently has an RSI of 52.28, indicating neutral conditions.

The midair incident in January involving a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/02/36965801/boeing-737-max-door-plug-that-flew-off-alaska-air-flight-missing-4-key-bolts-preliminary-ntsb-report"> door panel blowing off an Alaska Air Group Inc</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) operated Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 737 MAX 9 jet, leading the carrier to ground its MAX 9 fleet has had a domino effect on all aspects of aviation industry.
This single incident has led to inflating costs for those dependent on Boeing and straining airlines&#8217; operations, reported Reuters.
The resulting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/39058924/boeings-production-slowdown-sends-shockwaves-through-aerospace-supply-chain">slowdown in Boeing&#8217;s MAX deliveries </a>has hurt earnings for airlines like Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) and various suppliers, while also causing inconvenience and stranding passengers.

Southwest Airlines and other carriers have had to fly fewer routes and face increased costs. With a significant impact on its earnings, Southwest has decided to focus on more profitable markets, exiting Bellingham which contributes about 40% of passenger traffic and three other airports.
This disruption has also led to a slowdown in pilot hiring and strained resources for airlines relying on new aircraft.
Boeing, the largest U.S. exporter, employs nearly 150,000 people and supports millions more through its supply chain. The company contributes about $1 trillion annually to the U.S. economy, supporting over 5 million jobs. 
Under regulatory pressure, Boeing has committed to prioritizing safety over speed, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/39115731/boeings-737-max-production-freeze-remains-as-faa-demands-safety-overhaul">slowing down jet production</a>. 
In the first half of 2024, Boeing delivered 175 jets, a 34% decrease from the previous year, and 46% fewer than its European competitor, Airbus. 
This slowdown has delayed benefits for suppliers and impacted airlines&#8217; preparation and infrastructure costs.
U.S. budget carrier Allegiant Travel Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>) reported that delivery delays are costing it about $30 million annually. 
United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) have reduced their hiring plans due to fewer aircraft deliveries.

Boeing's 737 MAX Crisis Ripple Effects Disrupt Airlines, Suppliers

Sentiment will likely reverse course, with the index futures trading notably lower early Wednesday. The recent run-up ideally should render the mood cautious, and the caution may intensify as the first AI-levered chip company from across the Atlantic reported second-quarter results that were not viewed positively by the Street. 
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump added to the worries concerning the tech space after he said in a Bloomberg interview that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39807774/trump-says-taiwan-should-pay-us-for-defense-ex-presidents-remark-triggers-fall-in-tsmc-shares">Taiwan should foot its own defense bill</a> as it strives to keep China at bay. Taiwan houses most chip suppliers to the tech industry. Bond yields edged up ahead of the housing starts and industrial production report.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks kept their rally streak alive as they advanced on Tuesday, with material, industrial and consumer discretionary stocks fueling the upside, offsetting the weakness seen among IT and communication services stocks. A healthy retail sales report did not dampen expectations for a rate cut, with bond yields finishing down 1.70%.
The major averages opened uniformly higher, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&amp;P 500 Index advanced steadily and kept themselves to the positive terrain. 
In the process, the Dow and the S&amp;P 500 Index notched up fresh intraday and closing highs. Commenting on the Dow&#8217;s move, Chris Zaccarelli, Chief Investment Officer for Independent Advisor Alliance, said, &#8220;The Dow has spent most of the past two years lagging the S&amp;P 500 index, but it has new wind in its sales this summer on the hopes that the market rally will broaden from a narrow set of technology companies into a broader array of companies throughout the economy.&#8221;
The Nasdaq Composite, however, squandered its early gain and traded mostly below the unchanged line before closing modestly higher.
Small-caps once again outperformed with the Russell 2,000 Index closing at a fresh 2-1/2 year high.

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> Insights From Analysts:</figcaption></figure>
Money is flowing out of mega-cap tech stocks and the market breadth is rapidly improving as the odds for a Fed rate cut in September&nbsp;climbed to over a 90% probability, said fund manager Louis Navellier.
&#8220;This is a healthy development&nbsp;but will be tested as earnings and forecasts roll out during the current earnings&nbsp;period,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;&#8220;No one is calling the AI narrative a bubble (yet) but it may be largely priced in until more concrete examples of inroads are identified beyond chip sales and data center build-outs.&#8221;
The momentum remains clearly positive, and the earnings season is off to a good start, Navellier said.
LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist said competing factors underpin small-cap performance. Immediate data points such as consumer price inflation and Fed projections are igniting small-cap names higher for now, the strategist said. He expressed doubts about whether a longer-term economic slowdown will balance out the recent step higher.
Turnquist sees a portion of small-cap stocks, mainly regional banks on the value side, to continue to benefit from elevated lending rates if the higher-for-longer policy takes hold. On the contrary, if economic weakness persists, he recommended positioning in more profitable segments of the small caps and remaining cautious. &#8220;The late-cycle characteristics of this economy and the increase in expected volatility require a watchful and targeted approach at this point,&#8221; he added.
Upcoming Economic Data:
<ul>
<li>The Commerce Department is due to release the housing starts report for June at 8:30 a.m. EDT. The consensus estimate calls for the month&#8217;s housing starts, and building permits, an indicator of future housing activity, to come in at 1.30 million units and 1.40 million units, respectively. In May, the readings came in at 1.28 million units and 1.39 million units.</li>
<li>Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin is scheduled to speak at 9 a.m. EDT.</li>
<li>The Fed will release its industrial production report for June at 9:15 a.m. EDT. Economists, on average, expect industrial output growth of 0.3% month-over-month, slower than the 0.9% increase in May.</li>

<li>The Energy Information Administration is due to release its weekly petroleum status report at 10:30 a.m. EDT.</li>

Flight Attendants at United Airlines, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA), will take a strike authorization vote after continued frustrations in contract negotiations. This is the first time since the 2005 bankruptcy negotiations that Flight Attendants at the major airline will vote on strike authorization. This United management team rewards themselves with <a href="https://www.afacwa.org/ual_picket_contract_executive_comp_skyrockets">massive compensation increases</a> while Flight Attendants struggle to pay basic bills.&nbsp;
"United Flight Attendants can't afford to wait for improvements. We deserve an industry-leading contract, and we are ready to show United management that we will do whatever it takes," said Ken Diaz, president of the United chapter of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, representing 28,000 United Airlines Flight Attendants. "There is no time to waste. Our negotiations are at a critical state, the issues are clear, and the time to act is now."
United Flight Attendants filed for federal mediation nearly eight months ago and have been working under an amendable contract for nearly three years. Now – with negotiations at a critical stage and management delaying on an industry-leading contract – United Flight Attendants are making clear that they are unified in their fight for a fair contract.
Strike vote ballots will be sent to the 28,000 Flight Attendants, with the vote opening August 1, 2024 and closing on August 28, 2024 as Labor Day travel begins.
Recent strike authorization votes have propelled negotiations forward at <a href="https://www.afacwa.org/alaska_vote_authorize_strike">Alaska</a>, Southwest, and American Airlines.&nbsp;
AFA has a trademarked strike strategy known as <a href="https://www.afacwa.org/chaos">CHAOS</a>&#x2122; or Create Havoc Around Our System&#x2122;. With CHAOS, a strike could affect the entire system or a single flight. The union decides when, where and how to strike without notice to management or passengers. The right to strike is triggered when the National Mediation Board (NMB) declares that negotiations are deadlocked and releases both parties into a 30-day "cooling off" period leading to a strike deadline.&nbsp;
United Flight Attendant attendants are demanding in addition to significant double-digit base pay increase, increased pay for time at work including on the ground, retroactive pay to the amendable date, schedule flexibility and work rule improvements, job security, retirement and more.&nbsp;

The second-quarter reporting season got off to a rocky start with investors reacting to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39751519/jpmorgan-citigroup-wells-fargo-boast-better-than-expected-q2-results">some big bank earnings. </a>Nevertheless, optimism over a healthy earnings season continues to abound.
The Week That Was: Shares of high-profile big banks including JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) and Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) came under selling pressure following their earnings releases. JPMorgan fell 1.21% after being down over 2.5% intraday on Friday. The weakness was despite the company reporting a double-beat. Wells Fargo slumped a steeper 6.02% as higher deposit costs dented its bottom line.
Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) shares fell about 7% in two sessions after the airline reported a plunge in profit despite top-line coming in above estimates. 
We are early days into earnings with only 5% of the S&amp;P 500 companies having reporting earnings so far, <a href="https://insight.factset.com/sp-500-will-likely-report-earnings-growth-of-at-least-12-for-q2?utm_source=Direct&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;utm_campaign=FO-07-12-2024&amp;utm_content=httpsinsightfactsetcomsp500willlikelyreportearningsgrowthofatleast12forq2">according</a> to financial data analytics company FactSet. Of these 81% reported earnings beat and a more modest 56% ringed in a positive revenue surprise.

What&#8217;s Next: Blended earnings per share growth of S&amp;P 500 companies is expected to be 9.3% for the second quarter, FactSet data showed. If the estimated growth is hit, it would mark the highest year-over-year growth rate since the first quarter of 2022, when the growth was 9.4%, it said.
The 9.3% estimated currently marks an improvement from the 8.9% that was expected at the end of June.
Nine of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors are expected to report year-over-year earnings growth in the second quarter, with four of these, namely communication services, IT, healthcare and financials priming to report double-digit growth, Factset said. On the other hand, the materials sector is expected to report an earnings drop.
The blended revenue growth rate estimated for the second quarter is currently at 4.8%.
Notable among the sectors and industries on tap this week include the remainder of the big banks, a slew of regional banks, airlines, transportation, oilfield services and healthcare companies. European chip-equipment company ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) is among the first tech reporters this season and its report could grab a lot of eyeballs.
In a note released Sunday, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives said, &#8220;We believe 2Q earnings will be a major positive catalyst for the tech sector and expect tech stocks to be up another 15% for the year adding to the robust tech gains in 1H2024.&#8221;  Factset&#8217;s estimates show that the IT sector will see a robust 16.4% earnings growth, with the largest contributor being Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
