UBS reiterates Buy for Delta Air Lines stock
Published on 10/06/2026 at 16:53 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Delta Air Lines stock (ISIN US2473617023) was last at EUR 74.44 on Tradegate at 9:31 a.m. CEST on October 6, 2026. On the same day, Investing.com reported that UBS reiterated a Buy rating and a USD 105.00 price target for Delta Air Lines. The target gives the analyst view a clear valuation anchor ahead of the next results.
UBS sets a USD 105.00 target
The UBS assessment centers on Delta Air Lines' third-quarter and fourth-quarter outlook. UBS estimates third-quarter earnings per share at USD 1.70, below the USD 1.94 consensus cited by Investing.com on October 6, 2026. That gap makes fuel costs and operating margin important tests for the Buy thesis.
Markets Insider reported on October 5, 2026 that BofA cut its price target from USD 100.00 to USD 95.00 while retaining a Buy rating. The two target actions show a divided analyst picture before Delta publishes its September-quarter figures.
Revenue growth meets fuel pressure
Delta's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 19.76 billion, according to Yahoo Finance on October 5, 2026. Adjusted earnings per share were USD 1.56, above the USD 1.51 consensus, while revenue missed the USD 17.76 billion estimate cited in the same report. The figures combine demand strength with a margin risk that remains central to the upcoming update.
MarketBeat states that Delta is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results before the market opens on October 9, 2026. Its cited estimates are USD 1.92 in earnings per share and USD 17.61 billion in revenue. The upcoming report can therefore reset expectations around fuel expense, crew costs and fourth-quarter guidance.
Tradegate price stays below USD range
On the NYSE, Delta Air Lines was at USD 84.66 at 10:52 a.m. ET on October 6, 2026. The finance snapshot places the 52-week range at USD 55.03 to USD 95.68 and market capitalization at USD 55.7 billion on that date. The euro quote and the NYSE quote are separate venue references, so their currencies are not combined.
Delta Air Lines was last at EUR 74.44 on Tradegate on October 6, 2026, versus the Tradegate close of EUR 74.07 on October 5, 2026, a plus 0.50 percent move. The next measurable test is the October 9 results release, with UBS focused on the second-half earnings path and BofA using a lower USD 95.00 target.
