Major
U.S. airline stocks fell sharply in premarket trading Tuesday after Delta
Air Lines and budget carrier Southwest Airlines slashed their
first-quarter forecasts, stoking concerns about the impact of a slowing economy
on travel demand.
Delta Air Lines slumped 11% in
premarket trading after the legacy carrier slashed its first-quarter profit
forecast, while peers United Airlines and
American Airlines were down 8% and
7%, respectively.
The
sector-wide slump followed a broad market selloff on Monday after worries of a
potential federal government shutdown and tariff jitters ignited fears that the
U.S. economy could be heading towards a recession.
Southwest
Airlines also fell 3% after it cut its expectations for unit revenue growth on
Tuesday.
The
carrier now expects its revenue per available seat mile (unit revenue), a proxy
for pricing power, to grow between 2% and 4% during the first quarter, compared
with its prior range of a 5% to 7% increase.
U.S.
President Donald Trump's tariffs have raised concerns about an economic
slowdown and reduced discretionary spending, prompting travelers to exercise
caution when planning trips.
The
abrupt shift comes as a setback for big U.S. carriers, which just two months
ago were benefiting from strong travel demand and high pricing across their
networks.
Major
U.S. airlines are set to speak at the J.P.Morgan Industrials
Conference on Tuesday and are expected to provide insight on the new demand
environment and any updates to their expectations for the current quarter.
Citi
analyst Stephen Trent said Delta's forecast cut was disappointing, but not
entirely unexpected.
"Concerns
about US consumer strength, possible DOGE impacts on governmental air travel
demand and Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) staffing, US
government tariff uncertainties and several high-profile aviation incidents
across North America have all occurred since late January," Trent said in
a note.
Delta
said on Monday it expects profit in the range of 30 cents to 50 cents per
share, compared with its previous estimate of 70 cents to $1 per share.
