On the filings, Delta (DAL) is the stronger stock right now — higher on our blended fundamentals-plus-verdict read, and we currently rate it BUY.
Real operating turnaround (op income +33%, bag fees, OCF rebound) but earnings still slipping at a stretched its multiple.
Cheap at its multiple with a deleveraging balance sheet and a durable premium-revenue shift — but it's a peak-cycle airline, so size it modestly.
