Delta Air Lines: Initiating Buy On Premium Revenue Growth And Resilient Margins

  • We initiate coverage on Delta Air Lines at Buy. We view premiumization, margin resilience, and earnings durability as structurally understated by consensus. Our $57 PT is predicated on a 4.5x FY26E EBITDA multiple, +18% upside. We estimate FY25E/FY26E EBITDA of $7.3bn and $8.2bn, respectively, both well ahead of consensus.
