Oakmark Fund William C. Nygren, Michael A. Nicolas, Robert F. Bierig | “Delta Air Lines was the top contributor during the quarter. Fuel prices spiked in March following the onset of the Iran War, creating a near-term headwind for airline profitability. However, first-quarter results showed that the industry was passing through higher fuel costs more quickly than it has historically, which we view as important evidence of the industry becoming more rational. Travel demand also remained healthy, particularly in the premium leisure and corporate customer segments where Delta's competitive position is strongest. Sentiment continued to improve as oil prices declined toward the end of the second quarter. We believe the airline industry will emerge from the recent fuel price shock with improved profitability and see Delta as especially well positioned given its focus on premium experiences that support greater pricing power.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 15, 2026 | View Pitch |
Patient Capital Management Christina Siegel Malbon | “Delta Air Lines experienced a strong late-year rally as the broader market finally recognized its healthy consumer demand and solid fundamentals. This holding exemplifies the manager's willingness to wait patiently for value realization rather than attempting to time cyclical trends.” | BULL | Q4 2024 Jan 13, 2025 | View Pitch |
