Berkshire Buys $2.6B Delta Stake, EPS Soars

Watch: Watch for Delta's Q2 earnings to reveal if fuel cost benefits and margin expansion continue amid sustained sector pressures.

Berkshire Hathaway invested roughly $2.65 billion to acquire 39.8 million Delta Air Lines shares in Q1 2026. Delta posted record revenue of $14.2 billion, up 9.4% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS rose 42%. The airline generated $1.2 billion in free cash flow and returned 12% on invested capital in the quarter. Berkshire reshuffled its portfolio, selling Visa and Mastercard to fund the Delta stake.

Berkshire's large stake signals strong institutional confidence, supporting Delta's recovery and growth amid accelerating revenue momentum and strong cash flow generation.
