Della Air Lines Inc. stock (NYSE: DAL) is down 10% in the past week, strongly underperforming the S&P 500 which was down 4% over this period. If you look at the change over the last ten days and one month, too, the stock has returned -6.7% and -8.9%, performing roughly as poorly as the broader markets on both occasions. Delta’s most recent Q2 ’22 earnings, saw revenue rising from $7.13 billion in Q2 ’21 to $13.8 billion in Q2 ’22, driven primarily by a $5.6 billion rise in sales from the passenger segment. Rising fuel expenses saw operating costs nearly double over this period, but the company still reported operating income of $1.52 billion, up strongly from $816 million for Q2 ’21. Despite a rise in the effective tax rate and the outstanding share count, the company’s net earnings rose, and EPS came in higher at $1.15, compared to $1.02 in Q2 ’21.

Now, is Delta Air Lines stock set to continue its underperformance or could we expect a bounce back? We believe that there is a strong 69% chance of a rise in DAL stock over the next month (21 trading days) based on our machine learning analysis of trends in the stock price over the last ten years.
