Berkshire’s Bold Delta Bet | Durham News

from Durham News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Warren Buffett once called airlines a “capital trap” and dumped Berkshire’s stake in Delta during the pandemic — but now, Berkshire is quietly betting big again, boosting its Delta position 44% in Q2 to over 57 million shares worth $5.4 billion. With new CEO Greg Abel emphasizing disciplined, core investments, this move signals serious confidence. Delta’s turnaround is real: beating earnings, growing revenue beyond tickets via premium services and Amex partnerships, and strengthening its balance sheet with rising equity and falling debt — all while projecting strong year-round growth. Buffett may have been wrong this time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
