Delta Air Lines, Inc. has announced a plan to purchase 31 Airbus widebody jets, reinforcing its strategy to modernize its international fleet. However, the airline's fourth-quarter 2025 earnings exceeded expectations at $1.55 per share, while its long-term growth outlook remains cautious with a projected decline of 0.6% annually. Despite Bank of America affirming a Buy rating and a price target of $80, investor sentiment is cautious given the stock is trading below its intrinsic value.
