Is Delta Air Lines (DAL) Stock Undervalued Right Now?

Zacks Equity Research

While the proven Zacks Rank places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find strong stocks, we also know that investors tend to develop their own individual strategies. With this in mind, we are always looking at value, growth, and momentum trends to discover great companies.

Considering these trends, value investing is clearly one of the most preferred ways to find strong stocks in any type of market. Value investors use fundamental analysis and traditional valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are being undervalued by the market at large.

On top of the Zacks Rank, investors can also look at our innovative Style Scores system to find stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will want to focus on the "Value" category. Stocks with high Zacks Ranks and "A" grades for Value will be some of the highest-quality value stocks on the market today.

One company value investors might notice is Delta Air Lines (DAL). DAL is currently holding a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and a Value grade of A. The stock is trading with P/E ratio of 7.85 right now. For comparison, its industry sports an average P/E of 8.07. Over the last 12 months, DAL's Forward P/E has been as high as 9.85 and as low as 7.16, with a median of 8.22.

Finally, our model also underscores that DAL has a P/CF ratio of 5.45. This data point considers a firm's operating cash flow and is frequently used to find companies that are undervalued when considering their solid cash outlook. This stock's P/CF looks attractive against its industry's average P/CF of 5.57. Over the past 52 weeks, DAL's P/CF has been as high as 7.86 and as low as 4.97, with a median of 5.81.

These are only a few of the key metrics included in Delta Air Lines's strong Value grade, but they help show that the stock is likely undervalued right now. When factoring in the strength of its earnings outlook, DAL looks like an impressive value stock at the moment.
