Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL) stock took a six-day sell-off at the beginning of March 2025 as sentiment soured from lower consumer and corporate confidence. Delta actually slashed its Q1 guidance by more than 50% in many metrics, which caused a sell-off ripple effect throughout the transportation sector and notably the airline industry.
Its peers, United Airlines Holding Inc. (NASDAQ: UAL) and American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL), took similar plunges as the group tends to move in lockstep with each other. However, investors may be wondering if they overreacted and whether the industry sell-off could be a buying opportunity.
