Behind the estimate.
The model expects higher jet-fuel costs since Delta issued guidance to outweigh stronger ticket revenue and refinery benefits. That is why its forecast falls below both management’s guidance and the Street.
The main judgment is how quickly higher fuel prices reach Delta’s costs. The model estimates September pricing and assumes only partial recovery through revenue. Historical share counts and supplementary balance-sheet allocations also include approximations.
