Delta Air Lines Soars Following Better-Than-Expected Earnings Report

Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) presented its quarterly earnings report for the first quarter of the fiscal year on April 7, 2023, and the results exceeded analysts' forecasts. The reported $1.48 profits per share for the quarter were $0.17 better than the $1.31 per share consensus expectation.

Delta Air Lines' net margin of 2.61% and return on equity of 45.69% demonstrate that the firm is operating well in its field—a fact that has not gone unnoticed by institutional investors and hedge funds alike.

Hedge funds have recently updated their positions in the company, with notable acquisitions coming from Edmond DE Rothschild Holding S.A., Neo Ivy Capital Management, Orion Portfolio Solutions LLC, Beacon Investment Advisory Services Inc., and TD Asset Management Inc. All of these acquisitions show the hedge funds' growing confidence in DAL's robust market portfolio.
