Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Nov. 22:
Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>): Reader interest in Delta comes after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42087211/delta-charts-its-path-to-high-margins-and-shareholder-gains-at-2024-investor-day">hosted an investor day</a> in New York. Among the items shared at the investor day were goals of mid-teen operating margins, 10% average annual EPS growth and $3 billion to $5 billion in annual free cash flow over the next three to five years. 
Delta could also be seeing interest with the new White House administration being ushered in. Delta CEO Ed Bastian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42106369/delta-chief-says-trump-could-be-a-breath-of-fresh-air-for-aviation-industry">recently said</a> President-elect Donald Trump could provide a "breath of fresh air" for the airline sector after years of "overreach." The Biden administration passed various regulations that protected airline consumers, including automatic refunds after canceled flights and a requirement for airlines to disclose all additional fees and taxes upfront.
Delta also announced it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42095549/delta-will-serve-shake-shack-burgers-as-airline-continues-catering-to-first-class">will start serving</a> Shake Shack burgers to first-class passengers on some flights.
The carrier&#8217;s shares were down over the past week, but remain up over 50% year-to-date. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112224&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro chart</a> below shows the five-day performance.

Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>): Bill Ackman's Pershing Square has increased its bet on the apparel company.

"A comeback at this scale takes time, but we see early wins – from momentum in key sports to accelerating our pace of newness and innovation," Nike CFO Matthew Friend said after the Q1 results. "Our teams are energized as Elliott Hill returns to lead Nike's next stage of growth."

Autodesk Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>): The software company is seeing strong interest from Benzinga readers ahead of third-quarter financial results scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 26. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly revenue of $1.56 billion, up from $1.41 billion in last year's third quarter. Analysts also expect quarterly earnings per share of $2.12, up from $2.07 in last year's third quarter. 
Autodesk has beaten analyst estimates for revenue and earnings per share both in five straight quarters. Over the last 10 quarters, Autodesk has beaten analyst estimates for revenue eight times and earnings per share eight times. The company said that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40639874/autodesk-stock-jumps-5-on-q2-earnings-the-details">was focusing on </a>disciplined execution and seeing GAAP margins among the best in the sector.
Autodesk CEO Andrew Anagnost said these factors &#8220;will deliver sustainable shareholder value over many years.&#8221;
Some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ADSK/analyst-ratings">recent analyst ratings </a>and price targets are listed below:
<ul>
<li>Wells Fargo: Maintained Overweight rating, raised price target from $340 to $350</li>

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>): The cryptocurrency company is seeing strong interest as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continues to smash through new all-time highs and near the $100,000 level. 
The rising valuation of other cryptocurrencies could also help offset concerns from Coinbase's recently reported third quarter, which saw revenue and earnings per share miss Street estimates. Trading volume and transaction revenue were down 18% and 27% quarter-over-quarter respectively in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41637702/coinbase-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-transaction-revenue-falls-from-q2">the third quarter</a>. 
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42131449/with-gary-gensler-preparing-to-quit-in-2025-secs-crypto-cases-likely-to-quietly-go-away-amid-trumps-pro-bitcoin-stance-says-pantera-capitals-katrina-paglia">pro-crypto</a> stance of the incoming Trump administration also boosted interest in cryptocurrency-related companies like Coinbase.
Coinbase stock was up on the week, but trailed the 9.5% gains of Bitcoin. Coinbase stock is up 93.5% year-to-date in 2024, also trailing the year-to-date 122.5% gains for Bitcoin.

While Blackstone won't IPO Jersey Mike's anytime soon. Still, it could benefit from the likelihood that more big IPOs are expected in 2025. 
Reuters reports that medical supply firm Medline, which is partially owned by Blackstone, seeks a $5-billion IPO.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Goldman Sachs analyst Catherine O&#8217;Brien expressed views on Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) Investor Day in New York yesterday.
Delta&#8217;s three-to-five-year financial framework targets mid-teens operating margins, 10% average annual EPS growth, and<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42087211/delta-charts-its-path-to-high-margins-and-shareholder-gains-at-2024-investor-day" rel="noreferrer noopener"> $3 billion-$5 billion in annual free cash flow</a>.
Delta&nbsp;reaffirmed its expected&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41270201/deltas-turbulent-q3-mixed-results-and-tech-troubles-cloud-holiday-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter financial guidance</a>.
The company also provided preliminary commentary on 2025 for capacity growth of three to four percent year-over-year, revenue growth of mid-single digits and non-fuel unit cost growth of low-single digits year-over-year.&nbsp;
The analyst maintained a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DAL/analyst-rating" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy rating</a> on Delta Air Lines. O&#8217;Brien writes that Delta plans to strengthen its segmentation strategy by testing new products in Main Cabin starting in 2025.
The analyst also notes that the airline&#8217;s premium products drive the highest margins, with stable demand evidenced by an 85% repurchase rate.
O&#8217;Brien writes that Delta&#8217;s solid balance sheet includes new targets of 1.0x gross leverage and $40 billion in unencumbered assets, which will provide financial durability through market cycles.
The analyst estimates EPS of $6.05 in FY24, $8.25 in FY25 and $9.50 in FY26.

Goldman Sachs Sees Delta's Long-Term Growth On Track: EPS To Hit $9.50 By FY26

Deutsche Bank analyst Michael Linenberg maintains Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $60 to $80.

Price Target

Deutsche Bank Maintains Buy on Delta Air Lines, Raises Price Target to $80

Delta Air Lines Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NASDAQ">DAL</a>) CEO Ed Bastian has suggested that President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration could provide a &#8220;breath of fresh air&#8221; for the airline industry, criticizing what he perceives as government &#8220;overreach&#8221; during President Joe Biden&#8216;s era.
What Happened: Speaking ahead of the company&#8217;s investor day, Bastian signaled potential regulatory changes that could significantly impact the aviation sector, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/delta-airlines-trump-biden-regulation-c4393d5f763d95c8286d4069563032dc#">reported</a> the Associated Press on Thursday.
The airline executive&#8217;s comments reflect a broader sentiment among industry leaders who anticipate a more business-friendly regulatory environment. 
Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) CEO Robert Jordan similarly expressed hope for a Department of Transportation that might be &#8220;less aggressive&#8221; in rule-making, highlighting growing frustration with current consumer protection regulations.

Delta&#8217;s financial performance provides context for these expectations. The airline reported a robust $2.6 billion profit in the first nine months of 2024, with projected fourth-quarter adjusted profit between $1.60 and $1.85 per share. The company expects 2025 revenue growth in mid-single digits, positioning itself strongly amid potential regulatory shifts.
Why It Matters: Wall Street appears cautiously optimistic about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/11/42014787/delta-united-alaska-air-are-top-analyst-picks-in-airline-sector">the airline sector&#8217;s future</a>. Goldman Sachs has resumed coverage of major airlines, providing Delta with a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating and an $83 price target. Analysts expect continued supply constraints through 2025, with a focus on airlines&#8217; ability to adapt to changing market conditions.
The potential appointment of Sean Duffy as Transportation Secretary could herald broader changes across the transportation sector. Industry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42076876/what-could-trumps-new-dot-pick-mean-for-evs-airlines-railroads">observers speculate about the potential streamlining of regulations</a>, enhanced infrastructure focus, and possible modifications to electric vehicle and autonomous driving policies.
Price Action: Delta Air Lines closed at $63.64 on Wednesday, down 1.71% for the day. In pre-market trading, the stock was down 0.5% at the time of writing. Year to date, the stock has surged by 57.33%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Delta Chief Says Trump Could Be A 'Breath Of Fresh Air' For Aviation Industry

WIIM

Delta Air Lines shares are trading lower following the company's 2025 outlook.

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) announced on Tuesday that it will soon serve Shake Shack, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>) burgers to its first-class <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42087211/delta-charts-its-path-to-high-margins-and-shareholder-gains-at-2024-investor-day">passengers on select flights. </a>
What Happened: Delta&#8217;s <a href="https://news.delta.com/now-boarding-delta-serve-shake-shack-burgers-flights">partnership</a> with Shake Shack will begin on flights out of Boston on Dec. 1. 
First-class customers on routes over 900 miles may pre-select a Shake Shack cheeseburger as their meal option. Delta said it has plans to expand the offering to other U.S. markets throughout 2025. 
"A delicious cheeseburger is an iconic comfort food – our customers know that which is why burgers are one of the top ordered menu items we offer, and we're thrilled to elevate the offering with Shake Shack," said Delta managing director Stephanie Laster.

Delta has a separate partnership with Shake Shack's founder Danny Meyer and his Union Square Hospitality Group (USGH). Meals from Union Square Events, USHG's catering arm, are available on select Delta flights out of JFK airport.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Airlines of <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/airlines-airports/old-airline-meals">yesteryear</a> would typically serve up lavish meals to passengers, including lobster, roasted chicken and foie grois. Today, it&#8217;s fast-food cheeseburgers. 
Still, it&#8217;s enough to convince investment bank Goldman Sachs analysts to praise Delta&#8217;s penchant for catering to first-class passengers. A move like this is key to the carrier&#8217;s recent recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions, analysts say. 
Delta's First Class offerings include priority check-in and boarding, free earbuds and in-flight entertainment, luxury bedding, as well as complimentary Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) coffee, wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks. 
Other perks include free Wi-Fi, charging outlets, gourmet dining options, reclining seats and additional legroom. 
Goldman Sachs&#8217; Catherine O&#8217;Brien expects airlines exposed to premium and corporate demand to outperform other airlines that do not offer as many options and upgrades. 
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Delta Air Lines shares are down 0.06% at $64.71 at the time of publication Wednesday.

Behind the Scenes of Delta Air Lines's Latest Options Trends

Shares of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) traded relatively flat on Wednesday as the company hosted its Investor Day, an event designed to provide institutional investors with insights into Delta's future prospects. Ahead of the event, Delta <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42087211/delta-charts-its-path-to-high-margins-and-shareholder-gains-at-2024-investor-day">reaffirmed its recent guidance.</a>
A classic Japanese Candlestick pattern has formed on the chart. This is why our team of technical analysts has made it our Stock of the Day.
Candlestick charting, a technique developed by Japanese rice traders over 700 years ago, remains remarkably relevant today. The same patterns those traders analyzed centuries ago are still used by market participants around the world.
Chart patterns are graphical illustrations of the psychology of the traders and investors trading the security on the chart. And while many things have changed in seven centuries, one thing that hasn't is human psychology.
Tuesday&#8217;s trading created a &#8220;Bullish Engulfing Pattern, &#8221; which suggests that the shares may be about to trend higher.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="528" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/20114459/dal-1024x528.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-657321" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/20114459/dal-1024x528.webp 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/20114459/dal-300x155.webp 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/20114459/dal-768x396.webp 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/20114459/dal-1536x792.webp 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/20114459/dal.webp 1590w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Sometimes, a market&#8217;s leadership can change from bears to bulls over an extended period of time. But other times, the leadership can change in one day. This is what a Bullish Engulfing pattern illustrates.
On Tuesday morning, it looked like the recent downtrend was going to continue, as shares opened lower than Monday's closing price.

By the close on Tuesday, things looked very different.
Buyers entered the market and overpowered the sellers. By the end of the day, they had pushed the shares higher. The closing price on Tuesday was higher than the opening price on Monday.
As you can see on the chart, this price action engulfed Monday's trading range. The bulls had taken over.
Technical analysis has a dubious reputation. Like many things on Wall Street, it is widely misunderstood. Some think it is analogous to astrology or reading tea leaves.
But if applied correctly, technical analysis is the study of investor and trader psychology.
Although many things have changed since the markets formed centuries ago, human psychology has remained the same. This is why the same patterns have appeared on charts for hundreds of years and will continue to do so in the future.

Delta Air Lines Reaffirms Expected December Quarter Financial Guidance

President-elect Donald Trump announced former Congressman Sean Duffy to oversee the Department of Transportation (DOT) on Monday. 
Here's a look at how the latest Trump selection could affect companies in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42053292/trump-picks-sean-duffy-as-next-transportation-secretary-says-he-will-usher-in-the-golden-age-of-travel">the transportation sector. </a>
The Details: Duffy, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019, most recently worked as Fox News Media host. He left the position on Monday, according <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/us/politics/sean-duffy-trump-transportation-dot.html">to</a> the New York Times.
Duffy is the second Fox News employee to be nominated by Trump for a cabinet position. Last week, Trump picked Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41952962/trumps-surprise-defense-secretary-pick-pete-hegseth-jolts-wall-street">lack of government experience</a>.
In 1997, he was a cast member on MTV's "The Real World: Boston.&#8221;
As Transportation Secretary, Duffy would be in charge of major federal agencies, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

"He will prioritize Excellence, Competence, Competitiveness and Beauty when rebuilding America's highways, tunnels, bridges and airports. He will ensure our ports and dams serve our Economy without compromising our National Security, and he will make our skies safe again by eliminating DEI for pilots and air traffic controllers," Trump said in his announcement.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Air Travel</h3>
If approved by the Senate, Duffy can be expected to address ongoing aviation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/11/42014904/boeing-begins-layoffs-is-the-737-max-recovery-enough-to-lift-ba-stock">safety issues</a>. This could include matters relating to Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and air traffic control challenges. As part of Trump's focus on efficiency, Duffy could potentially work to enhance safety measures while streamlining regulations. 
Major airline companies like Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and American Airlines Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) may be affected by potential policy and regulatory changes, as well. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Overall Negative For EV Industry&#8217;</h3>
The DOT also oversees the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) which is expected to focus on regulatory frameworks for electric vehicles and autonomous driving technologies in the near term.  The NHTSA is likely to establish guidelines for emerging technologies like Tesla, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) autonomous driving software. 
Recent reports suggest Trump has plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42046316/trump-set-to-hand-musk-golden-path-for-tesla-after-reversing-course-on-autonomous-vehicle-ban">ease restrictions</a> on self-driving vehicles, which could help companies like Tesla expand FSD and bring robotaxis to the market.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk campaigned heavily for Trump and provided millions to his campaign coffers ahead of Election Day.
At the same time, it seems likely that the incoming Trump administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41781921/what-does-trumps-victory-mean-for-ev-giant-tesla-and-the-big-3-automakers">will eliminate </a>or reduce many of the EV purchase incentives included in the Biden administration&#8217;s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). 
Wedbush analysts said that Tesla&#8217;s rivals, U.S.-based EV startups like Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) and Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>), could face a major set-back if Trump rolls back current EV tax incentives and rebates, as reports suggest. 
"We believe a Trump presidency would be an overall negative for the EV industry as likely the EV rebates/tax incentives get pulled," Wedbush analysts wrote.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Railroads</h3>
If Duffy is confirmed, he will also oversee the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), which is responsible for safety measures across the rail network. He may address safety concerns following incidents like the East Palestine <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38240139/norfolk-southern-to-pay-600m-in-ohio-train-derailment-lawsuit">derailment in 2023</a>.
Duffy will also manage billions in federal grants aimed at improving rail infrastructure and upgrading aging rail systems to enhance efficiency and safety. Railroad companies including CSX Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>), Norfolk Southern Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>) and Union Pacific Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>) may benefit from such improvement projects. 
Investors can also monitor the broader transportation sector through ETFs which track its performance including the iShares Trust iShares U.S. Transportation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYT#BATS">IYT</a>) and the First Trust Nasdaq Transportation ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXR#NASDAQ">FTXR</a>).

10 Industrials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Goldman Sachs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/11/42004767/breaking-down-united-airlines-holdings-11-analysts-share-their-views">has resumed coverage</a> of nine airlines and gave a broad overview of the year ahead for the airline sector. Here's a look at the winners and losers in the industry.
The Details: Goldman Sachs analyst Catherine O'Brien said the firm expects supply constraints to continue for the airlines into 2025. She sees mixed stock performance ahead, with the airlines exposed to premium and corporate demand outperforming the sector. 
Read More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41993328/trump-media-insiders-sell-more-than-16-million-in-djt-stock">Trump Media Insiders Sell More Than $16 Million In DJT Stock</a>
ALK: The firm resumed coverage of Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) with a Buy rating and a $70 price target on the stock. The analyst pointed to the airline's exposure to the West Coast corporate travel demand, which has begun to recover significantly. 
She also noted Alaska Air's improving interisland profitability and sees upside ahead related to synergies from the acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines.&nbsp;
DAL: Goldman Sachs resumed coverage of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) as a Buy with an $83 price target, representing 28% upside to the stock's current levels. The firm said its Buy rating is underpinned by Delta's growth in loyalty revenue, which is driven partly by its long-term credit card agreement with American Express. 
O&#8217;Brien also highlighted the airline's exposure to passenger demand for premium services and its competitors exiting key cities where Delta continues to operate.&nbsp;
UAL: O&#8217;Brien forecasted United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NYSE">UAL</a>) to end 2024 with margins at nearly pre-pandemic levels and noted this as the highest rate of recovery among the firm's airline coverage. The Goldman Sachs analyst also highlighted United as among the best positioned to serve the increasing premium and corporate consumer demand.&nbsp;
Goldman Sachs resumed coverage on United Airlines with a Buy rating and a $119 price target, representing 31% upside to the stock's current level.&nbsp;
JBLU: The firm resumed coverage on shares of JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) with a Sell rating and a $5.50 price target. O'Brien pointed to capacity restraints resulting from aircraft grounded for required maintenance and air traffic control staffing shortages in New York City, where the airline has a large hub. The analyst said that both issues are out of management's control and expects both to continue through the short term.&nbsp;
LUV: The Goldman Sachs analyst resumed coverage on Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) shares with a Sell rating and announced a $28 price target. O'Brien said Southwest's product <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/11/42004766/beyond-the-numbers-9-analysts-discuss-southwest-airlines-stock">and network</a> are not aligned with the increasing demand for premium air services, putting it at a disadvantage in the current market.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: In 2023, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35237271/apple-airtags-are-stalkers-weapon-of-choice-dozens-of-victims-allege-in-a-new-class-action-lawsuit">class-action lawsuit</a> was filed by dozens of victims alleging that AirTags were being used as a &#8220;weapon of choice&#8221; by stalkers. The lawsuit claimed that Apple was aware of the risks associated with its AirTags and could be held legally responsible for their misuse.
In January, the company was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36527121/apples-next-gen-airtag-launch-said-to-be-delayed-because-theres-simply-a-lot-of-unsold-original-ones">reportedly forced to delay</a> the release of its second-generation AirTag to 2025 due to an overstock of the first-generation product. The company&#8217;s existing AirTags were still performing effectively, and Apple faced minimal competition in the &#8220;Find My&#8221; network.
Apple has been working on solutions to address the misuse of AirTags. In 2023, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32184898/airtag-stalking-solutions-apple-and-google-submit-proposal-to-keep-users-safe">submitted a proposal</a> in partnership with Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s Google to combat unwanted tracking via Bluetooth location-tracking devices like AirTag.
