Delta Air Lines reported second-quarter revenue of $17.7 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $1.56, beating analyst expectations, as growth in premium and corporate travel offset the highest quarterly fuel costs in the carrier's history.
The company reaffirmed full-year earnings guidance of $6.50 to $7.50 per share and raised its third-quarter EPS forecast to $2.00 to $2.50, citing durable pricing power from World Cup travel demand. Shares gained 3% in premarket trading following the results.
