Delta posts $1.11 billion profit for third quarter and sees strong holiday bookings_我的网站

一 |     Planes packed with summer travelers boosted Delta Air Lines to a $1.11 billion profit in the third quarter, and the carrier said Thursday that it expects revenue to keep rising into the holiday season.Profit was up 59% from a year earlier, as strong ticket sales — especially for premium seats and international flights — helped Delta shrug off higher labor costs.The Atlanta-based airline predicted ranges for fourth-quarter and full-year profit that mostly exceed Wall Street expectations.“I think we’re closing the year strong, and the holiday bookings that we see right now are pretty good,” CEO Ed Bastian said in an interview. “Domestic (travel) is solid, and international is really strong.”U.S. airlines are flying high as the travel recovery that began last year shows few signs of slowing down.Delta increased its passenger-carrying capacity an aggressive 16% and was able to fill all those extra seats. Travelers flew 64 billion miles on the airline in the quarter, a 17% increase, and they filled 88% of the seats on the average flight, a point higher than last summer.Revenue from ticket sales in the main cabin grew 12% — and 17% for premium seating. Money from Delta’s loyalty program soared 21%.The program, called SkyMiles, has become so popular that there are far more passengers hoping for upgrades to better seats than available seats. Lines can grow long at Delta lounges at busy airports like Atlanta and New York’s JFK.But when Delta announced changes to deal with the overcrowding last month — including basing elite frequent-flyer status purely on spending, and limiting lounge access for holders of Delta credit cards — the reaction from longtime customers was quick and brutal. Some vowed to switch airlines. Alaska Airlines and JetBlue fished for disgruntled Delta members by promising elite status in their programs. Even Bastian admitted the airline “ probably went too far.” Bastian has promised to modify the unpopular changes, but he hasn’t given any details yet.“We are working on that. We’ll be announcing something in the coming days,” Bastian said in the interview. He said he has received “a lot of feedback – everyone had their own ideas as to how we might restructure the program. Almost universally, people acknowledged that we needed to do something.” Delta's third-quarter profit, adjusted to exclude one-time items, was $2.03 per share, 8 cents better than forecast by analysts in a FactSet survey. Revenue rose 11% to $15.49 billion, also beating expectations.For the fourth quarter, Delta said revenue will rise as much as 11% from a year ago and it will earn between $1.05 to $1.30 per share. Analysts expected $1.09.The airline predicted that full-year profit will land between $6 and $6.25 per share after saying in June it would be at the top end of a $5-to-$6 range. The short-term outlook would be rosier if not for a recent pickup in jet fuel prices — although fuel is still much cheaper than it was a year ago. Bastian expressed confidence that Delta and other carriers can raise prices enough to cover any increase in fuel expense. Shares of Delta were virtually flat in morning trading.。

二 |     8月26日消息，AMD官方文档确认，将会有两套Zen6客户端处理器家族使用AM5插槽，分别为Olympic Ridge CPU与Medusa1 APU。

三 |     据文档披露，Olympic Ridge被定位为下一代主流锐龙桌面处理器，根据此前泄露的规格，Zen 6架构可能会将每个CCD的核心数量从8个提升至12个，使得顶级型号的总核心数有望达到24核。    此外为了应对AI计算需求，该系列处理器可能首次在桌面端集成NPU，但为了平衡晶圆面积，可能会取消目前锐龙7000/9000系列中集成的基础核显。          相比之下，Medusa1系列的定位更为灵活，文档显示该系列将同时支持笔记本移动端的FP10接口和桌面端的AM5插槽，而规格更小的Medusa2则明确标注仅支持FP10移动接口。         在平台兼容性方面，AMD在今年5月的Computex展会上已明确承诺，AM5插槽的支持周期将延长至2029年，此次Zen 6系列产品的曝光，进一步证实了AMD在长效平台策略上的决心。    目前AMD尚未公布Olympic Ridge或Medusa1的具体型号命名及发售时间。
