Why Analysts Are Cutting Their Target Price for Delta Air Lines
Of the 18 analysts tracking Delta Air Lines (DAL), 94% recommend “buy,” and 6% recommend “hold.” Their consensus target price of $68.30 implies a 34.6% return based on DAL’s July 12 closing price. Although DAL’s Q2 2018 earnings and revenue beat analysts’ estimates, its downward revision of its fiscal 2018 EPS guidance to $5.35–$5.70 due to higher fuel prices prompted analysts to cut their target price for the stock.
