Delta in Focus
DAL may be an interesting play thanks to its forward PE of 9.96, its P/S ratio of 0.99, and its decent dividend yield of 1.5%. These factors suggest that Delta is a pretty good value pick, as investors have to pay a relatively low level for each dollar of earnings, and that DAL has decent revenue metrics to back up its earnings.

But before you think that Delta is just a pure value play, it is important to note that it has been seeing solid activity on the earnings estimate front as well. For current year earnings, the consensus has gone up by 3.4% in the past 30 days, thanks to eight upward revisions in the past one month compared to none lower.
This estimate strength is actually enough to push DAL to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), suggesting it is poised to outperform. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
