Airlines
Delta Posts Strong Q1, But Full-Year Forecast Remains Clouded
Shares of Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) are trading higher this morning after the company’s fiscal first-quarter results came in higher than Wall Street estimates.
However, management issued a cautious outlook for the remainder of the year due to growing economic concerns and geopolitical uncertainty.
The airline posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.46, topping the expected $0.39. Revenue came in at $14.04 billion, ahead of the $13.89 billion analysts had forecast.
Key metrics such as passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) and cost per available seat mile (CASM) are stronger than anticipated.
However, the company continues to face challenges turning profits from passenger transport alone.
CEO Ed Bastian asserted that the airline now plans to keep capacity flat in the second half of the year rather than expand, citing “stalled” global economic growth and increasing unpredictability in trade.
The company expects second-quarter earnings per share to land between $1.70 and $2.30, below consensus projections of $2.41.
While Delta has not updated its full-year forecast, analysts say new tariffs introduced by the Trump administration may put additional pressure on airlines.
Delta shares are up 1.7% in early premarket trading, though the stock remains down nearly 50% from February highs.

Protein Snack Maker Simply Good Foods Sees Sales Jump 15% in Q2
Simply Good Foods (NASDAQ: SMPL) reported stronger-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal second quarter.
The earnings are fueled by robust consumer demand for its high-protein, low-carb offerings and the contribution of its newly acquired beverage brand.
Net income for the quarter ending March 1 rose to $36.3 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to $33.1 million, or $0.33 per share, a year earlier.
On an adjusted basis, earnings came in at $0.46 per share, outpacing the $0.40 per share analysts had predicted.
Revenue climbed 15% year-over-year to $359.7 million, exceeding expectations of $354.6 million.
The company credits its growth primarily to the performance of Only What You Need, a functional beverage brand it acquired last summer, along with a 4.4% rise in organic sales driven by the strength of the Quest Nutrition line.
Gross margin also improved, benefiting from higher volumes and the integration of the new brand.
Simply Good Foods reiterated its full-year forecast, anticipating sales growth of 8.5% to 10.5% for fiscal 2025.
The company’s continued focus on innovation and consumer health trends appears to be paying off as it builds momentum in the better-for-you food category.

Cal-Maine Shares Slide Amid Federal Egg Pricing Probe
Shares of Cal-Maine Foods (NASDAQ: CALM) are down in premarket trading following news that the company is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice over potential price-fixing in the egg industry.
Despite reporting a strong third quarter, the stock is down 4.4% today.
Cal-Maine confirmed it is cooperating with a federal inquiry examining whether major egg producers artificially inflated prices or restricted supply during a period of surging costs.
The investigation was disclosed alongside the company’s latest earnings, which showed revenue soared to $1.42 billion in the quarter ending March 1—more than double the amount from a year ago.
Net income also surged, rising to $508.5 million, or $10.38 per share, up from $146.4 million, or $3.00 per share, in the same quarter last year.
The growth was largely attributed to a sharp increase in average egg selling prices.
In a separate announcement, Cal-Maine revealed plans to acquire Echo Lake Foods, a Vermont-based manufacturer specializing in ready-to-eat egg and breakfast products, for $258 million.
The deal is expected to close by the end of the current fiscal year and marks a strategic expansion into higher-growth segments of the egg market.
Despite strong financials, investor concerns about regulatory risks are weighing on sentiment.
Movers and Shakers
Venus Concept Inc. [VERO] - Last Close: $2.92
Venus Concept is a medical technology company that develops minimally invasive and non-invasive devices for aesthetic and therapeutic applications.
Its shares are skyrocketing 265% in premarket after the company secured an additional $2 million in funding through its ongoing Bridge Financing agreement with Madryn Health Partners. This brings the total raised under the agreement to over $23 million.
My Take: While the funds offer short-term relief for operations and working capital, the 12% interest rate and growing debt burden highlight ongoing liquidity challenges with the company. Keep a watch on its revenue numbers to see real progress.
Femto Technologies Inc. [FMTO] - Last Close: $2.81
Femto Technologies is an emerging tech firm.
The company just secured $17 million in a private placement, issuing common shares alongside Series A and B warrants, causing its shares to rise 119% in premarket trade.
My Take: A $17M raise with aggressive warrant pricing suggests Femto’s leadership sees serious long-term potential. If the capital is deployed smartly, this could mark a pivot point for the company’s growth story. Keep this stock on your radar.
SCWorx Corp. [WORX] - Last Close: $0.80
SCWorx is a data analytics company.
Its shares are up 75% in premarket today after the company resolved its financial filing deficiencies, ensuring continued active trading on the Nasadq exchange.
My Take: While WORX still faces long-term growth challenges, restoring Nasdaq compliance helps it stay in the game. It's a necessary step in rebuilding investor trust and paving the way for future operational momentum.
