— 1 · The Locked Call

Delta Air Lines Q2 2026 EPS lands ≥$0.75 — P = 0.85.

We lock a binary: Delta Air Lines reports Q2 2026 EPS at or above $0.75, per the company's results release. Confidence 85%.

— 2 · Why it's nail-able — and why only 85%

Summer is the peak quarter and the floor sits below guidance — fuel/demand is the tail.

The June quarter is seasonally Delta's strongest, and its own guide ($1.00–$1.50) sits well above our $0.75 floor. We hold 85%, not higher, because airline earnings are sensitive to jet-fuel prices and late-quarter demand softness, either of which could pull EPS toward the floor. Resolves against Delta's reported Q2 EPS.
