10 Industrials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Two small planes collided midair near Marana Regional Airport in Arizona on Wednesday, killing two people, the National Transportation Safety Board said.
A Cessna 172S landed safely, while a Lancair 360 MK II crashed and caught fire, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/us/plane-crash-arizona-airport.html">reported</a> The New York Times. The airport, an uncontrolled field without a control tower, relies on pilots to coordinate.
Marana Airport, an uncontrolled field without a tower, had Federal Aviation Administration-backed plans for one, but funding cuts delayed completion to 2029. 
The crash follows a series of aviation disasters, including an American Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) jet collision with a U.S. Army helicopter and a Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) jet flipping on a Toronto runway. The NTSB is investigating the cause of the collision.
President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration recently dismissed hundreds of FAA employees, including those responsible for radar and navigation systems, raising concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43771492/chuck-schumer-blasts-trump-faa-layoffs-after-delta-plane-overturns-on-landing-in-toronto-president-fired-safety-specialists">aviation safety and national security</a>.

Two Dead After Planes Collide Near Arizona's Marana Regional Airport

Billy Nolen, former acting Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator, reportedly emphasized the urgent <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43771492/chuck-schumer-blasts-trump-faa-layoffs-after-delta-plane-overturns-on-landing-in-toronto-president-fired-safety-specialists" rel="noreferrer noopener">need for air traffic control system upgrades.</a>
Nolen highlighted that the FAA oversees systems that are 40 to 60 years old, underscoring the importance of modernization, The Hill <a target="_blank" href="https://thehill.com/policy/transportation/5150243-ex-acting-faa-administrator-air-traffic-control-upgrades/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
This call for reform comes in the middle of chaos where the Trump administration began firing hundreds of FAA employees following a deadly crash, where an American Airlines Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) flight collided midair with a military Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan Washington National Airport, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43402439/trump-musk-blame-dei-for-plane-crash-authorities-look-at-staffing-congestion-for-answers-search-continues-after-4">resulting in multiple fatalities.</a>

Additionally, on Monday, Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) Flight 4819 crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport, though all passengers were safely evacuated.
Nolen, in his interview with The Hill, suggested that now is an opportune moment for leaders like Elon Musk to help improve the U.S. air traffic control infrastructure by gaining a clear understanding of existing systems and pushing for upgrades.
Musk announced earlier that his Department of Government Efficiency, popularly known as DOGE, would tackle rapid safety upgrades to the air traffic control system.
&#8220;With the support of President @realDonaldTrump, the @DOGE team will aim to make rapid safety upgrades to the air traffic control system.

Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller&#8216;s family office Duquesne has divested his entire stake in Broadcom, simultaneously increasing his investments in major tech companies, as revealed in a recent 13-F filing.
What Happened: According to a recent&nbsp;SEC filing, Druckenmiller, a seasoned investor, sold all his shares of&nbsp;Broadcom Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) in the fourth quarter. This move comes on the heels of his total exit from Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), a competing chipmaker, a few months prior.
In the closing months of 2024, Druckenmiller significantly reduced his tech stock portfolio, selling his entire stakes in&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>),&nbsp;Adobe Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) and&nbsp;Autodesk Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>). He also completely sold his stake in&nbsp;Starbucks Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) and his shares in insurance company&nbsp;Chubb Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>).
Despite these divestments, Druckenmiller increased his investments in several big tech companies in the same quarter, acquiring new positions in&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>),&nbsp;Amazon.com Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Elon Musk&#8216;s electric vehicle manufacturer&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Druckenmiller&#8217;s Duquesne also initiated new investments in United Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NYSE">UAL</a>), Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), Warner Bros. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NYSE">WBD</a>), Skechers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>), and Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>).
The most significant holding in his Duquesne Family Office remains Natera (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTRA#NASDAQ">NTRA</a>), the clinical genetic-testing company in which they held a stake since 2022. Natera holdings account for just over 15% of the portfolio. Meanwhile, the firm increased its stake in Teva Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) by nearly 6.3 times.

Why It Matters: Druckenmiller, who formerly managed hedge funds for George Soros, now manages his own wealth through the Duquesne Family Office, which has investments worth nearly $3.72 billion.
The billionaire investor&#8217;s latest moves follow his earlier divestments in AI stocks. During the third quarter of 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42668157/stanley-druckenmiller-dumps-streets-hottest-ai-stocks-heres-what-the-billionaire-investor-is-betting-on-next">Druckenmiller sold all of its Nvidia shares and significantly reduced its Palantir holdings</a> by 95%. This occurred despite Nvidia and Palantir experiencing significant stock surges that year, with Nvidia&#8217;s stock increasing nearly 190% and Palantir&#8217;s shares gaining over 386%. 
The current quarter&#8217;s exit from Broadcom despite the stock surging more than 100% over the past year appears as a profit booking move. Meanwhile, other additions in big tech stocks show his growing confidence in the sector.
Druckenmiller added Tesla to its portfolio which surged over 83% in the past year. However, the stock plunged more than 16% over the last month, amid declining global sales, regulatory roadblocks in China, earnings disappointment, and Musk&#8217;s increasing political involvement.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has voiced concerns over the Federal Aviation Administration&#8217;s safety standards following recent layoffs, in the wake of a flight accident involving Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) at the Toronto Pearson Airport.
What Happened: Schumer took to X on Monday to express his views on the recent plane incident in Toronto, which originated from Minneapolis. He emphasized the FAA&#8217;s responsibility in inspecting aviation equipment, regardless of the plane&#8217;s destination.

In his post, Schumer stated, &#8220;To those asking whether it matters that the plane's destination was in Canada: The flight took off from Minneapolis. The FAA was still responsible for inspecting the aviation equipment, and Trump just let go of FAA safety specialists.&#8221;
He further criticized the Trump administration for the recent FAA layoffs amid a spate of recent accidents involving planes and said &#8220;We keep seeing these incidents day after day.&#8221; Schumer said that the &#8220;Democrats are fighting to protect the flying public.&#8221;<a href="https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/1891624153385464199"></a>

Why It Matters: The Trump administration fired hundreds of FAA employees, including those working on radar and navigation systems, sparking concerns over aviation safety and national security, according to an Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437">report</a>. 
The layoffs, which reportedly targeted probationary workers, came just weeks after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43328465/no-survivors-yet-to-plane-crash-near-reagan-national-airport-american-airlines-ceo-heads-to-washington">fatal midair collision</a>. Some affected employees claim political motivations behind their dismissals, while federal officials insist critical safety functions remain intact.
Schumer&#8217;s comments come after a Delta regional jet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43771116/delta-air-lines-jet-overturns-at-toronto-pearson-airport-amid-snowstorm-18-injured-3-critical">overturned</a> while landing at Toronto airport amidst a snowstorm, resulting in injuries to 18 people, three of whom are critically hurt. The flight had originated from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

A Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) regional jet flipped over&nbsp;upon landing at Toronto Pearson&nbsp;Airport on Monday, resulting in injuries to 18 people, three of whom are critically hurt.
What Happened: As per a&nbsp;Reuters report, the Delta Air Lines regional jet, run&nbsp;by its Endeavor Air arm, overturned while&nbsp;landing at Toronto Pearson Airport&nbsp;amidst a snowstorm and windy weather conditions.
The flight, which originated from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, had 76 passengers and four crew members on board. Among the injured, a child is among the three critically injured.
The aircraft involved was a CRJ900, made by Canada&#8217;s Bombardier. An investigation into the cause of the crash has been announced by Canadian authorities.
An emergency worker reported the aircraft as upside down and on fire. A video posted on social media depicted the plane&nbsp;lying overturned on the snow-covered&nbsp;tarmac, with fire engines spraying water on it.
Delta confirmed that all 18 injured passengers were taken to local hospitals. The Toronto airport was briefly shut down, disrupting flights and forcing reroutes to other airports.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board are deploying teams of investigators. Japan&#8217;s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHVYF#OTC">MHVYF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHVIY#OTC">MHVIY</a>), which bought the CRJ aircraft program from Bombardier in 2020, has pledged full cooperation with the investigation.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said Monday he was &#8220;in touch with Delta&#8221; after a flight crash-landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/transportation/5149988-delta-flight-crash-landing-toronto/">reported</a> The Hill.
Delta said in a statement that it had canceled its flights to and from Toronto for the evening and issued a travel waiver. The airline says it has activated its &#8220;Passenger Inquiry Center&#8221; for the families and others connected to the affected customers.
CEO Ed Bastian said that the &#8220;hearts of the entire global Delta family are with those affected by today's incident.&#8221;

In January, a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43328465/no-survivors-yet-to-plane-crash-near-reagan-national-airport-american-airlines-ceo-heads-to-washington">PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet collided</a>&nbsp;with a helicopter near Reagan Washington National Airport, causing the plane to fall into the Potomac River.

Shares of Lyft Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) were trading lower on Wednesday, despite the company reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43641962/lyft-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-gross-bookings-up-15-new-buyback-our-biggest-competition-is-inertia">a fourth-quarter revenue beat</a>.
The company reported its quarterly results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Cantor Fitzgerald On Lyft
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/596f57cb35f48b00011db3ec/deepak-mathivanan">Analyst Deepak Mathivanan</a> maintained a Neutral rating, while cutting the price target from $15 to $14.
Lyft reported its fourth-quarter bookings 1% short of Street expectations, while delivering an earnings beat, Mathivanan said in a note. For the first quarter, the company guided to rides growth in the mid-teens and bookings growth of 10%-14% year-on-year, the midpoint of which fell short of the current consensus, he added.
The disappointing bookings guidance reflects a "deterioration in industry pricing trends" since the latter part of the fourth quarter, the analyst stated. While Lyft is making "steady progress on key product initiatives" to improve its rideshare services, this is being offset by the challenging pricing environment and "brings meaningful uncertainties to near-term growth trajectory," he further wrote.
Piper Sandler On Lyft
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5981fdcbc1f558000155e858/thomas-champion">Analyst Thomas Champion</a> maintained a Neutral rating, while reducing the price target from $23 to $18.
Lyft reported gross bookings of $4.28 billion for the fourth quarter, missing Street expectations of $4.32 billion, Champion said. "FCF conversion was again strong and ride frequency improved again sequentially," he wrote.
The company completed 219 million rides in the quarter, up 15% year-on-year, while active riders grew by 10% year-on-year to around 24.7 million, the analyst stated. The weaker bookings result and guidance was due to pricing headwinds resulting from competition, which "has persisted through January," he added.
Wedbush On Lyft
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58459503ee7bf6000154d075/scott-devitt">Analyst Scott Devitt</a> maintained a Neutral rating, while slashing the price target from $18 to $16.
Lyft's total bookings and net revenues grew by 14.9% and 26.6% year-on-year, respectively, but both missed Street estimates by around 1%, Devitt said. Despite lower-than-expected bookings, adjusted EBITDA came in at $113 million, beating consensus of $104 million, he added.
Management guided to gross bookings growth of 10%-14% year-on-year, with the midpoint coming in below Street expectations by around 280 basis points, the analyst stated. Regarding the full year, Lyft&#8217;s partnership with Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) will end in April 2025, "which management anticipates will impact rides and gross bookings growth by ~1ppt and ~2ppts, respectively, starting in 2Q25," he further wrote.

JPMorgan On Lyft
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/591479b8290fa7000138e4b4/doug-anmuth">Analyst Doug Anmuth</a> reiterated an Overweight rating, while cutting the price target from $19 to $16.
Lyft&#8217;s execution has improved over the past year, with the focus intensifying on "product innovation and service for both drivers and riders," Anmuth said. These initiatives drove the upside in Active Riders, up 10% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, and adjusted EBITDA, he added.
"However, we believe Lyft is facing an increasingly competitive rideshare landscape as of late 4Q and into 1Q," the analyst wrote. While Lyft noted pricing pressure and competition, rival Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) said it expects UberX prices in the U.S. to rise only marginally in 2025, he further stated.
Roth Capital Partners On Lyft
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e3c22772d37ce00019ceb1f/rohit-kulkarni">Analyst Rohit Kulkarni</a> reiterated a Neutral rating and price target of $16.
"During 2024, LYFT has managed to report two upside quarters and two downside quarters," Kulkarni said in a note. Competitive price dynamics, which began in the latter part of the fourth quarter, are expected to impact gross bookings growth in the first quarter, he added.
"LYFT highlighted incremental and unclear headwind from the loss of Delta partnership which could weigh on 2Q GB growth," the analyst stated. While the company's fundamentals and product portfolio have improved, pricing and the end of the partnership with Delta "are somewhat negative," he added.
Needham On Lyft
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587635595064ed000140010c/scott-berg">Analyst Bernie McTernan</a> reaffirmed a Hold rating on the stock.
Lyft indicated that the lower pricing dynamic that started in the last couple of weeks of December was experienced "across all markets," McTernan said. Although the decline was less steep in January, it brought the base pricing per mile for the month to the lowest level in five quarters, he added.
Prices are likely to be "lower for longer," the analyst stated. The company is likely to record "slight acceleration" in rides growth for the rest of the year, "as the Leap Day compares ease," he further wrote.
LYFT Price Action: Shares of Lyft had declined by 6.2% to $13.48 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

A Closer Look at Delta Air Lines's Options Market Dynamics

Winter weather is moving into nearly every part of the country this week and threatens to bring several different weather hazards depending on location. An atmospheric river is taking aim at fire-scarred areas of Southern California, while the MidAtlantic and Northeast regions brace for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43544471/winter-storm">more snow and ice.&nbsp;</a>
MidAtlantic Snow: The first major weather event of this busy week will strike the MidAtlantic region on Tuesday with snow and ice spreading through the Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York City metro areas.&nbsp;

AccuWeather meteorologists warn that the <a href="https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/early-week-winter-storm-to-dump-snow-from-dc-to-philly-nyc/1743253">storm</a> will trigger plowing operations and deicing activity at airports in an area covering approximately 200,000 square miles. 
Travelers should prepare for delays and disruptions. Two of the largest airlines serving the Washington D.C. and Philadelphia airports are American Airlines Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>).&nbsp;
Northeast Snow: A second snow and ice storm will follow quickly on the heels of the MidAtlantic snow, arriving on Wednesday night with snow forecast for New England and rain further south. Snow will change to sleet and freezing rain during the day on Thursday and come to an end on Thursday night. 
Grocery and home improvement stores may see increased traffic as people stock up on food and essentials before the storm. Retailers like Walmart, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) could see a boost in revenue from storm-related sales.&nbsp;
California Rain: An atmospheric river is lining up and will hit California on Wednesday, with the worst of the weather expected on Thursday. The storm is expected to be the strongest in a year, according to <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-02-11/strongest-southern-california-storm-in-a-year-what-to-know">the</a> Los Angeles Times and will bring heavy rains to the entire state, including fire-damaged areas of Los Angeles. 
The National Weather Service warned of "potentially life-threatening and damaging flooding and debris flows," which are a type of landslide that may affect the recently burned areas.&nbsp;
Residents and insurance companies in Southern California, like Allstate Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and Chubb Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>), may take another hit if further damage is caused by landslides and debris flows in the fire-ravaged areas.&nbsp;

February Winter Weather Set To Bring Northeast Snow, Soak California Fire Zones

A dangerous winter storm is bringing snow, ice and freezing rain to portions of the Midwest and Northeast on Thursday. 
Another storm is following close behind and is expected to arrive this weekend. Here's a look at the potential impacts of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43108615/southern-power-grids-face-historic-winter-test-as-snow-blankets-gulf">the winter weather. </a>
The Details: A moist air mass collided with cold air across the Midwest, Ohio Valley and Northeast, producing a corridor of sleet and freezing rain on Thursday.
&#8220;A storm sweeping across the central and eastern United States will bring a swath of hazardous freezing rain through Thursday,&#8221; warned AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham.
Blustery winds will enter the region behind the storm with maximum wind gusts of 65 miles per hour Thursday into Friday, <a href="https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/dangerous-snow-and-ice-storm-to-snarl-travel-across-the-midwest-northeast/1741400">according to</a> AccuWeather.&nbsp;

Forecast: Meteorologists warn that another winter storm will hit many of the same areas affected by Thursday's storm. A mix of snow, ice and rain or thunderstorms will advance from the Central states and head for the East Coast Friday night through Sunday morning.
Stocks To Watch: Observers expect Lowe&#8217;s Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) and Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) stores will have increased traffic as consumers buy salt, shovels and snowblowers to handle the storm. 
Walmart, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) could also see a bump in sales as shoppers stock up on groceries and other household essentials. 
There is an increased risk of power outages, especially with freezing rain and ice in the forecast. 
Eversource Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ES#NYSE">ES</a>) and Consolidated Edison, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ED#NYSE">ED</a>) are two power companies that operate in the Northeast. Observers would be wise to monitor those stocks in the event of widespread outages. 
Travelers should expect Thursday&#8217;s weather to affect flights through the weekend. JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) has major hubs in New York City and Boston. Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) is also on watch as the air carrier operates all ten of the busiest US routes from Boston Logan International Airport.

What the Options Market Tells Us About Delta Air Lines

Tom Brady is throwing Miami-area realtors for a loop by whisper-listing his waterfront estate on Florida's ultra-exclusive Indian Creek Island.
With property values soaring since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43293869/jeff-bezos-backed-perplexity-rolls-out-self-hosted-deepseek-r1-model-amid-controversy-over-chinese-ai-influence-ceo-aravind-srinivas-says-theres-a-lot-of-misconception">Jeff Bezos</a> bought properties on the island, sources told Bloomberg that the NFL great is showing his lavish compound to a few private prospective buyers and that bids have already surpassed $150 million. By "whisper listing" the property, only a few private buyers can view or bid on the home, keeping the vast majority of realtors out of the loop.

Brady built his Indian Creek Island home after purchasing the lot for $17 million in 2020 with ex-wife and supermodel Gisele Bündchen. The property comprises a two-story waterfront home, a separate gym, and a cabana.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Lucrative Playing Career</h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Brady has a net worth of $300 million. His ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, has a net worth of $400 million. Combined, the power couple had a net worth of $650 million before their divorce. Most of Brady's money has come from his playing career — firstly and most famously with the New England Patriots, where he won six Super Bowls. He then won a championship with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who he joined in 2020 on a two-year $50 million contract that included $9 million in incentive bonuses. He retired, but he returned for&nbsp; the 2022 season on a $15 million contract. By the end of his NFL career, Brady had earned $473 million from salary and endorsements.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fox Sports Contract</h2>
In May 2022, Brady signed a 10-year $375 million deal to join the Fox Sports broadcasting booth for NFL games — the largest contract in sportscasting history. Despite his lucrative contract, there has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/10/41363480/tom-brady-becomes-nfl-team-owner-but-could-it-impact-his-fox-broadcasting-deal">recent conjecture</a>, seized upon by the Daily Mail — that Brady could walk away from his TV commitments to be the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, a team he has a 10% ownership stake in with Tom Wagner, co-founder of Knighted Capital.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Real Estate</h2>
Brady and his ex-wife have bought and sold multiple high-end homes over the years, including a 14,000-square-foot home in the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood. They lived there for less than a year before selling it to hip-hop super producer Dr. Dre in 2014.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investments And Endorsements</h2>
Brady made a sizable investment in the Las Vegas Raiders. According to Sportico, Brady and Tom Wagner's 10% stake in the $3.5 billion deal saw them invest $220 million combined. Since the investment, the value of the Raiders has doubled, according to CNBC.&nbsp;
Brady has also had a string of lucrative endorsement/brand ambassador deals, including Hertz car rental. He's a minority owner of the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces, owner of Team Brady in Union Internationale Motonautique, a new electric race boat competition, and minority owner of Birmingham City FC, a storied English soccer team playing the country's second tier.
Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) announced in 2023 that it hired Brady as a strategic advisor. According to<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/06/business/delta-tom-brady-strategic-adviser/index.html"> </a>CNN, he will "work on internal employee training and appear in external advertising campaigns."

10 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Delta Air Lines's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 18.84% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 30.48 million shares sold short, which is 5.34% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.72 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Delta Air Lines Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1738591228_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Delta Air Lines has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Delta Air Lines's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Delta Air Lines's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.54%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
