Citi managing director Stephen Trent joins Morning Brief to discuss the results and the broader airline industry. Trent notes that air travel preferences vary beyond first class and basic economy, creating "an ecosystem in between." He notes that network carriers like Delta have successfully capitalized on this middle market "in a way that discount carriers are not going to be able to do." Looking ahead, Trent identifies three key trends affecting the airline sector: major carriers' revenue growth will surpass that of low-cost competitors, inflation and interest rates will remain elevated, and oil (CL=F, BZ=F) prices will trend downward over time.

This post was written by Angel Smith Delta's 'saving grace' for Q4 will be lower fuel prices: Analyst Ahead of Delta Air Lines (DAL) fourth quarter earnings report this Friday, Bloomberg Intelligence senior aerospace defense and airlines industry analyst George Ferguson joins Seana Smith and Brad Smith on Morning Brief to outline his expectations for the airline's quarterly results. "What we'll watch very closely is going to be Delta's yield [price paid per mile flown]," Ferguson says, noting, "We think they will continue to edge over." The analyst believes Delta's "saving grace" will be the decline in fuel prices: "We think that will add, I think, 400 basis points or so to their margins. So that's going to be... the bright spot in the market." Beyond the price per mile flown and a decline in fuel costs, "a big portion of what we're going to watch at Delta is how demand is holding up [and] how fares are holding up," Ferguson adds.

Kinahan tells the Morning Brief team that Cisco Systems (CSCO), Microsoft (MSFT), and Reddit (RDDT) are the top bullish picks. "[Cisco] is one that I think is really interesting," Kinahan says, adding, "We hear so much about AI ... and what I think people sometimes forget is you really need the networkers also" and, "I think the networking side of it is the most underrated side of what's going on in AI." He notes, "Cisco is really well positioned [and] we've seen our clients and our Tastytrade brokerage side really start to over the last three weeks, particularly, buy this stock." The second name that clients have been "buying significantly" is Microsoft, which Kinahan says is "not a big surprise" given "the fact that it's a darling of retail [investors, it's] usually one of the top three names." "The last one on there [is] Reddit and what we've seen there is not only our clients loving it. I think there was [some] doubt [for] some people if it could compete in the social media context, [but] they've done an incredible job overall of continuing to add users" and have gained bullish calls from analysts. On the other hand, Kinahan says three stocks that have seen bearish trading activity heading into 2025 are Dell Technologies (DELL), Delta Air Lines (DAL), and Pfizer (PFE).

After Raymond James upgraded American Airlines (AAL) and lifted its price target, the firm's managing director, Savanthi Syth, joins Morning Brief with Madison Mills and Seana Smith to discuss her outlook for the airline industry in the new year. "What we see here is a generally a kind of demand environment that's holding. It will really depend on the economy, but there's also just in the industry itself some capacity discipline that's coming in to help rightsize some overcapacity that we saw in 2024," Syth says. "We see a kind of a good setup here overall" for American Airlines, the analyst says, noting that the combination of "a good industry backdrop and some self-help from American" will help the company. Despite her bullish shift on American Airlines, Syth maintains Delta Air Lines (DAL) as her top pick in the space: "From a risk-reward standpoint, they're really well positioned."
