Earnings were bad -- much worse than feared

What happened

Shares of Delta Air Lines ( NYSE:DAL) plunged more than 5% in early trading on Tuesday before clawing their way back to about a 2.6% loss at the close, as the company reported Q2 earnings. Rivals United Airlines Holdings was almost even on the day, and American Airlines Group was down only a fraction of 1%, but neither company reported earnings.

So what

Good news first: Delta is making headway in extinguishing cash burn that approached $100 million a day in the early days of the pandemic. Management reports that it ended Q2 with $15.7 billion in liquidity that it can use to finance its operations until things return to normal. And it now looks like Delta is going to survive to reach that point.

Now what

That doesn't change the fact that Delta's earnings numbers were much worse than feared. Heading into earnings, analysts had predicted that the air travel giant would report pro forma, pre-tax losses of $4.12 per share. In fact, Delta lost $4.43 per share pro forma, and $9.01 on a GAAP. basis.
