Delta reports third-quarter results before the market opens next Thursday, with analysts expecting revenue to rise slightly year-over-year but profit to tick lower.
It will be Delta’s first quarterly report since July’s worldwide IT outage caused by a CrowdStrike software update forced the carrier to cancel thousands of flights, costing it an estimated $500 million.
Last quarter, Delta posted record revenue, but net income missed expectations and its shares fell.
