Delta (DAL) Takes Flight After Strong Q1 Beat

Delta Airlines (DAL) delivered impressive Q1 results, outperforming expectations on both revenue and profit. Despite a sharp 15% selloff last week—mirroring a broader 12% market drop driven by trade tensions - DAL staged a powerful comeback. 

A pause in tariffs and renewed confidence in Delta’s earnings strength sparked a 23% rally today. While the outlook remains cautious amid economic headwinds, today’s rebound highlights the market’s readiness to reward fundamentals when the skies start to clear.

CVS Health (CVS) announced that Brian Newman will step in as Chief Financial Officer starting April 21, 2025. The market responded favorably, with the stock jumping about 5% earlier today—adding to a more than 50% gain since January.

For investors and traders alike, navigating moves like these requires more than headlines - it demands a structured, rules-based approach to price action. Long-term success comes from proven processes, disciplined risk-reward management, and consistent execution.
