Delta Chief Says Trump Could Be A 'Breath Of Fresh Air' For Aviation Industry
Delta Air Lines Inc. (NASDAQ:DAL) CEO Ed Bastian has suggested that President-elect Donald Trump's administration could provide a "breath of fresh air" for the airline industry, criticizing what he perceives as government "overreach" during President Joe Biden's era.
達美航空公司 (納斯達克:DAL) CEO Ed Bastian建議當選總統特朗普的政府可能爲航空行業帶來"一口清新空氣"，批評他認爲在喬·拜登總統任期期間存在的政府"過分干預"。
What Happened: Speaking ahead of the company's investor day, Bastian signaled potential regulatory changes that could significantly impact the aviation sector, reported the Associated Press on Thursday.
事件經過: Bastian在公司的投資者日前表示，預示可能會出現對航空行業產生重大影響的監管變革，據美聯社週四報道。
The airline executive's comments reflect a broader sentiment among industry leaders who anticipate a more business-friendly regulatory environment.
航空公司高管的評論反映了行業領導人普遍感覺到對更友好的商業環境的預期。
Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:LUV) CEO Robert Jordan similarly expressed hope for a Department of Transportation that might be "less aggressive" in rule-making, highlighting growing frustration with current consumer protection regulations.
西南航空公司 (紐交所:LUV) CEO Robert Jordan同樣對交通部表示希望，希望其在法規制定上"更加溫和"，突顯出對當前消費者保護法規的不滿情緒日益增長。
Delta's financial performance provides context for these expectations. The airline reported a robust $2.6 billion profit in the first nine months of 2024, with projected fourth-quarter adjusted profit between $1.60 and $1.85 per share. The company expects 2025 revenue growth in mid-single digits, positioning itself strongly amid potential regulatory shifts.
達美的財務表現爲這些預期提供了背景。該航空公司在2024年前九個月盈利26億美元，預計第四季度調整後利潤每股在1.60至1.85美元之間。公司預計2025年收入增長率爲中等單個數字，將自身定位爲在可能發生的監管變革中處於有利位置。
Why It Matters: Wall Street appears cautiously optimistic about the airline sector's future. Goldman Sachs has resumed coverage of major airlines, providing Delta with a "Buy" rating and an $83 price target. Analysts expect continued supply constraints through 2025, with a focus on airlines' ability to adapt to changing market conditions.
爲什麼重要: 華爾街對航空行業的未來持謹慎樂觀態度。高盛重新開始對主要航空公司進行覆蓋，爲達美提供"買入"評級和83美元的目標價。分析師們預計到2025年仍將持續供應不足，重點關注航空公司適應不斷變化的市場條件的能力。
The potential appointment of Sean Duffy as Transportation Secretary could herald broader changes across the transportation sector. Industry observers speculate about the potential streamlining of regulations, enhanced infrastructure focus, and possible modifications to electric vehicle and autonomous driving policies.
肖恩·達菲有望成爲交通部長，可能帶來整個運輸行業的廣泛變革。行業觀察人士猜測可能會對法規進行簡化，加強基礎設施重點，並對電動車和自動駕駛政策進行可能的修改。
