EVP Laughter sells 15,000 DAL shares at $71.61; stock up +18.3% in 30 days, near 52-week high
Laughter John E, EVP & Chief of Operations, sold 15,000 shares (15.0K shares) of Delta Air Lines on 2026-04-14 at $71.61, reducing his holdings from 69,369 to 54,369 shares (a -21.6% reduction). The sale occurred as Delta's stock traded near its 52-week high of $75.35, roughly -4.5% below peak, and the stock has gained +18.3% over the prior 30 days. Delta's fundamentals show net income of $-289,000,000.00 for the latest quarter, despite $15,854,000,000.00 in quarterly revenue and annual revenue growth of +2.8%. Across his cross-ticker history, the insider's 2 prior open-market sells had an average 90-day return of +13.0%, indicating those prior exits preceded stock gains (0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark). This sale follows another DAL sale just 4 days earlier on 2026-04-10, suggesting a pattern of sequential reductions in position rather than a one-time exit. Investors should note the timing relative to the stock's recovery and the company's operating loss context.
