# Weekly Recap | Delta Air Lines -2.84%, consensus target above spot

## The Week

Delta Air Lines (DAL) fell 2.84% this week to close at $80.07, underperforming the S&P 500 by about 3.33 percentage points. The stock pushed higher early in the week, trading between $83 and $84 on Monday and Tuesday, before hitting an intraday high of $84.99 on Wednesday and then retreating. Thursday brought a drop to $81.14, and Friday continued the slide to a low of $79.89 before settling just above $80. Weekly amplitude came in at 6.12%, pointing to unsettled trading.\\n\\n## Key Events\\n\\nRegulatory and industry news drove most of the week’s headlines. On Monday, reports said the Eleventh Circuit voided a DOT order while Delta denied personalisation-related claims. Thursday marked a notable shift as Delta and United resumed flights, seen as a meaningful signal for travel demand. Other stories this week revisited Delta’s 15-year investment return, the broader aerospace expansion, and CNBC’s mention of Delta among final trades. A weekly N-PX filing on Saturday was the only material disclosure. Overall, company-specific news was light, with sentiment flowing mainly from industry-level developments.\\n\\n## Analyst Ratings\\n\\nCoverage totals 26 firms: 19 rate it buy and 5 rate it overweight, while 1 rates it underweight and 1 has no opinion. There are no hold or sell ratings. The consensus is a strong buy, with a target price of $105.19, roughly 31.37% above the current price. Targets range from $50 to $125, showing a wide divergence. Delta ranks second out of 25 companies in the passenger airline industry, near the top of the group.\\n\\n## The Week Ahead\\n\\nA heavy macro calendar lies ahead: Dallas Fed manufacturing activity on 31 August, S&P Global manufacturing PMI final and ISM manufacturing PMI on 1 September, plus JOLTS job openings the same day. On 2 September, ADP private employment, factory orders, and EIA crude inventories follow. These releases will shape expectations for travel demand and cost pressures.\\n\\n## In Short\\n\\nA bullish-leaning analyst picture sits against a week of price weakness: the stock lost 2.84% while consensus target sits about 31% above spot. In the latest trading day, small and medium orders were net sellers while large orders were modest net buyers, a mixed flow signal. The key is whether upcoming demand data and macro prints support this pullback or extend the rotation.\\n\\n*This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.*
