Delta Air Lines Lowers 2026 Earnings Forecast Amid Rising Fuel Costs
Delta Air Lines has reduced its 2026 earnings forecast to $5.10-$5.60 per share from $6.50-$7.50 due to persistently high jet fuel prices driven by the Middle East conflict. The airline expects $6 billion in additional fuel costs this year compared to 2025. CEO Ed Bastian noted the company’s ability to price as a premium airline. Shares fell 1.72% following the report.
