The Surprising Reason Airline Stocks Are Soaring
While the market remains mesmerized by artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, there is a sector of the old economy that has outperformed over the past month.
Airline stocks United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL), Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL), and Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) are up handsomely, with Delta even outperforming the S 500 in 2026 with its 17.4% rise so far. These are somewhat surprising developments, given that the war in Iran has sent the price of oil and jet fuel soaring.
The following chart shows a broad-based recovery over the past month.
