Why is Delta Air Lines Down Today?

Shares of Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) have risen following a series of bullish catalysts, including a notable analyst upgrade, legal clarity on a major outage claim and positive strategic moves.

  • UBS Upgrade: UBS Group raised its rating on DAL from “neutral” to “buy” and lifted its price target from $46 to $66, implying roughly 32% upside based on recent levels.
  • CrowdStrike Lawsuit: A Georgia state judge ruled that Delta can proceed with its suit against cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike over the July 2024 outage that forced 7,000 flight cancellations—reducing legal uncertainty and opening the door to potential recoveries.
  • Institutional Buying: Siemens Fonds Invest GmbH disclosed a new position in Delta shares, signaling confidence from a major European investor.
  • Service & Network Enhancements: Delta is rolling out new Missoni business‐class bedding and launching a seasonal Catania route on May 23, strengthening its premium offering and international footprint.
  • Airline‐wide Headwinds: While tariff risks remain a concern for the sector, Delta’s diversified network, service upgrades and strong balance sheet give it an edge over peers like LUV in navigating macro pressures.

Overall, upgraded earnings forecasts and strategic expansions are driving Delta’s shares higher, even as investors monitor broader trade and capacity challenges in the airline industry.
