Delta Air Lines IncLower jet fuel costs from reopening benefit Delta Air Lines.
A potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz following a US-Iran framework agreement could lower crude oil prices and benefit Delta Air Lines, FedEx, and Chevron. The strait has been effectively closed since February 28, choking off roughly 20% of the world's oil supply, and its reopening is expected after a formal signing on June 19. Delta Air Lines may see lower jet fuel costs, with Morgan Stanley raising its price target to $105 from $90 on June 1. FedEx could benefit from reduced diesel and jet fuel expenses, adding to over $1 billion in annual cost savings from its Network 2.0 initiative. Chevron's integrated model may see improved refining margins from moderate oil price declines, with the stock trading about 14% below its consensus price target of $205.70.
