Delta Air Lines’ recent stock move has been driven by a mix of stronger travel demand, a rebound in corporate bookings, and lower fuel costs, all of which improve the airline’s profit outlook. The company has also reported record annual revenue, solid profits and free cash flow, emphasized cost control and debt reduction, and signaled further margin expansion, while a new long‑haul fleet order is expected to boost efficiency over time. On the back of these positives, analysts have raised their price targets for the stock. Still, despite a solid gain so far this year and options pricing in a notable earnings reaction, heavy put buying and recent insider share sales are feeding short‑term bearish sentiment around the shares.
