Delta faces risks from disruptions to its IT infrastructure, including potential outages from technology failures, natural disasters, or cyberattacks. These disruptions could lead to flight cancellations, revenue loss, increased costs, and reputational damage. The company's reliance on technology for customer service and operations also presents a risk of operational issues if technology fails. Fuel price volatility and debt repayment obligations are also noted as risks.
Financial Upside
Delta's revenue increased slightly in the September 2024 quarter, driven by increased capacity and higher premium product sales. Refinery sales to third parties also contributed to revenue growth. Positive cash flow from operations and available liquidity are also highlighted as potential upsides. The company anticipates continued positive cash flow and expects to meet its liquidity needs for the next year.
