We're raising our third-quarter earnings-per-share estimate from a loss of 30 cents to a profit of 5 cents, versus EPS of a loss of 7 cents last year. The current consensus estimate of a loss of 16 cents per share also will come up to break-even or a small profit. We're raising our target to 11, or 10 times 2010E-EPS of $1.13, an increase from our prior estimate of $1. We're estimating 3Q operating profit of more than $300 million [after nonoperating expenses estimated at $325 million}. Load factors for the next two months are estimated at 82%....We believe business traffic is starting to return to the market. Market cap: $6.3 billion.

Target: 15. Delta announced more voluntary severance[offers]...for most employees. Pilots, management and information-technology personnel aren't eligible. DAL's capacity-reduction means less need for back-office employees and baggage handlers. We believe the combined DAL/Northwest can earn as much as $4 to $5 in 2010, and using an eight times to 10 times multiple, a target of 32 to 40 a share is reasonable. Market cap: $3.5 billion.
