Delta Air Lines stock rose markedly by low double digits in the first ten days of the new year. The U.S. carrier has served more than 200 million customers in 2024, when it was also recognized by J.D. Power, a leading American data analytics and consumer intelligence company, for being No. 1 in First/Business and Premium Economy Passenger Satisfaction. Travelers became more willing to spend extra money for swanky seats when meeting a high level of service. Delta is just positioning itself as the nation's premium airline. And what's more important, its Christmas quarter's earnings reportedly surpassed average analyst pool projections. Driven by stronger travel demand, smart financial management and capacity discipline, Delta business provided last three-months' profit of $1.85 per share vs $1.28 at the same period one year ago, compared to $1.75 in consensus estimates. On January 10, the airline industry leader put its future profit levels within a range between $0.70 and $1 per share in the current quarter through the end of March, while analyst expectations were focused on $0.77 cents, according to data compiled by LSEG. The starting months of each year always perform worse. It is clear that all carriers made losses in the Covid years of 2020-2022, but Delta profits only recovered into a range from $0.25 to $0.45 in the first quarter of 2023 and 2024, respectively, but Q1 profit numbers varied from $0.75 to $0.96 even in the three blessed years before the pandemic. Delta added that it is forecasting annual earnings in excess of $7.35 a share, which would be the highest in its 100-year history, based on its planned revenue growth of 7% to 9% in the March quarter from a year ago. The announcement could be compared to an adjusted profit of $6.16 a share in 2024. The company happily breaks through ticket prices' rising effects, almost undisturbed by a reduction in airline seats in the domestic market, which was peculiar for most carriers. Thus, new expectations created a fertile ground for setting new price records, even though price movements on Delta charts look most convincing among its other American rivals.

By the way, Citigroup analysts freshly updated their outlook on Delta Air Lines shares to raise their price target to $80 from the previous $77, vs the actual range around $65 per share where the stock just came after a reasonable market correction from last week's and all-time highs. Citigroup said it has included factors like higher revenue per available seat mile, projections of slightly lower fuel prices, increased taxation, a minor rise in share count, and the incorporation of fourth-quarter 2024 results into their financial model, which has projected Delta's profit at $7.49 per share in 2024 and $8.72 in 2025. Delta shares are Buy-rated at Citi, and we agree with their positive estimates in general, while keeping in mind even better price goals somewhere between $82.5 and $85.

Merck Becomes Interesting to Be Added to a Portfolio

Merck & Co (MRK) stocks have shown signs of becoming a compelling buy opportunity. Over the past six months, the stock has been in a downtrend, declining 29.8% to $94.50 per share. However, since mid-November, MRK has demonstrated a reversal of momentum, rebounding by 10.0% to reach $104.87 on December 5. Following a brief pullback and consolidation period, the stock has retested the downtrend resistance and appears poised to continue its upward trajectory.

With prices currently positioned to target $110.00, this represents a potential 9-10% upside from the present levels. Setting a stop-loss at $93.50 aligns with a prudent risk management strategy, providing protection against further downside while allowing for upside potential. The recent consolidation phase further supports the case for a breakout, making this an attractive moment to consider initiating or adding to a position in MRK.

Tezos Is Seen Hodling above $1.200

Tezos (XTZ) has declined slightly by 0.2% this week, trading at $1.249, following Bitcoin’s (BTC) drop to $89,158, which triggered widespread altcoin sell-offs due to concerns of a potential further decline in BTC to $80,000. However, Bitcoin managed to hold above the critical support level at $89,000-$91,000, offering some relief to the broader crypto market.

Speculation about a shift in U.S. trade policy has provided additional support to crypto assets. Reports suggest the new U.S. administration may pursue a gradual increase in tariffs rather than an abrupt hike, which could help alleviate inflationary pressures and lead to a less aggressive monetary stance from the Federal Reserve.

This development is a positive signal for the cryptocurrency market and may help Tezos maintain its position above the key support level of $1.200.

VeChain Is Suffering on Rising Borrowing Costs

VeChain (VET) has fallen 12.7% this week, trading at $0.0445, underperforming the broader cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, has declined by 5.6% to $93,220, with bearish momentum building as it approaches key support at $89,000-$91,000. This decline is largely attributed to tightening monetary conditions in the United States, which continue to weigh on risk assets. Investor confidence is further shaken by significant net outflows from spot BTC-ETFs, which lost $583 million on Wednesday, marking the second-largest single-day outflow on record.

If BTC falls below the critical support level of $89,000-$91,000, VeChain is likely to extend its losses, with prices potentially declining another 10% to $0.0400. A sustained drop in BTC could push VET even lower, towards $0.0300. Conversely, a strong rebound in BTC prices to the $100,000 level could drive VET back up to $0.0500, representing a recovery of approximately 12% from current levels.

Ontology Is Sliding Towards $0.2000

Ontology (ONT) is down 2.3% this week, trading at $0.2176, in line with the broader crypto market where Bitcoin (BTC) has declined 2.0% to $101,632. While the new U.S. administration has made some strides toward fairer crypto regulation, Donald Trump has remained silent on the highly anticipated issue of adding Bitcoin to U.S. federal reserves.

Market speculation is rampant, with figures like BlackRock CEO Larry Fink suggesting Bitcoin could surge to $700,000 per coin if sovereign wealth funds begin accumulating. Other forecasts predict Bitcoin reaching $250,000 by year-end. While such projections could foster optimism, the lack of decisive action or announcements regarding U.S. crypto reserves is weighing heavily on the market.

For Ontology, the situation remains bearish. Having breached the critical support at $0.2500 last week, the token is now approaching the $0.2000 level. A failure to provide clear evidence or statements about U.S. federal crypto reserve plans could see ONT fall even further, breaching the $0.2000 mark and deepening its losses.

Tron Is Positioning Itself above $0.3000

Tron (TRX) is rising by 1.3% to $0.278 this week, outperforming the broader crypto market where Bitcoin (BTC) is down 0.8% to $106,560. TRX is making a third attempt to break through the key resistance level at $0.3000. The first effort in June stalled at $0.2941, and the second at $0.2950. This time, with broader market optimism as a backdrop, the token may finally push higher. A successful breakout above $0.3000 could open the way for an advance towards the next target at $0.3500.

BlackRock to Update Its All-Time Highs

BlackRock (BLK) stocks are currently trading at $1,049, just 2.2% below their all-time high of $1,083. Given that prices have already moved above the middle of the ascending channel, it is highly likely that a new record will soon be reached. Technically, the stock is trending towards the upper resistance of this channel, which stands near $1,250—offering a potential upside of about 19% from current levels. This presents an attractive opportunity. I plan to open a long trade within the $1,000–1,050 range, targeting a take profit between $1,200 and $1,250. A stop-loss will be placed at $820 to manage downside risk.

New Targets for Meta Are at $788-800 at Least

Meta Platforms (META), which is the owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, added nearly $48 per share to its value just less than a couple of weeks after its first daily close above $700 in mid-June. I believe that the current peak of $747.90 on June 30 technically leaves more space for further move up to at least $788, as this price target corresponds to the psychologically crucial milestone of $2 trillion in the market caps for the communications industry giant and roughly fits to some previous growth impulses for Meta stocks. It's very unlikely that Meta bulls or simply Meta realists may encounter any obstacles along this way. Anyway, I don't have the faintest idea of selling my personal stake in Meta before reaching the range between $788 and $800, and will also likely hold most of it waiting for a higher goal around $850 for the rest of the year.

In fact, an initial Wall Street's crowd response above $788 will show whether bets on a climb higher are worth worrying about. But right now there is definitely nothing to worry about, and I can be calm and happy, as there are still solid fundamental drivers behind Meta's strengthening. Recent reports have shown that Meta is embarking on a massive acquisition move, finishing advanced talks to get voice-cloning startup Play AI. Alongside bolstering its own AI research talent pool for even smarter context advertisement services, this means that Meta is ready to flesh out its consumer-facing features. Play AI lets anyone clone different kinds of voices that they can use for AI-powered use cases.

Therefore, Meta integrates some of PlayAI voice replication cutting-edge employees into its social networking projects, which are already used by almost 3.5 billion people worldwide. Meta announced significant user growth in the last quarter (Q1 2025), with its whole family of apps reaching 3.43 billion daily active users on average in March 2025, representing another 6% increase YoY, including Facebook's monthly active users increase by 3.44% for the annual period. This coincided with a quarterly EPS beat of $6.43 against $5.24 in consensus in late April. It was exactly the moment when Meta impressed the investment community with its plans to leverage more AI for ad targeting with day-to-day recommendations to visitors. Two full calendar months have passed since then, and Meta's positioning became only stronger.

Among the latest news is that Meta is hiring OpenAI researcher Trapit Bansal for its AI reasoning team, according to TechCrunch. Trapit Bansal, who left OpenAI had been with the GPT (generative pre-training transforming) pioneer company since 2022 and played a crucial role in developing reinforcement learning alongside OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, so both of them are credited as major contributors to OpenAI’s first AI reasoning model, o1. OpenAI and Google are now rivals of Meta, which the latter may bypass on a turn.

Another story from last Friday says that Meta seeks as much as $29 billion from private capital firms like Apollo Global Management, Brookfield, Carlyle and PIMCO for growing AI data centers in the US. They invited Morgan Stanley to arrange the financing. Meta wants to raise $3 billion in equity and $26 billion more in debt, with a fundraising coming at a time when Meta has already doubled down its commitment to AI, including a $14.8 billion of recent investment in startup Scale AI. Meta's efforts are further strengthened by the fact that renewable energy developers and Meta have officially signed deals to supply 791 megawatts more of solar and wind power to operate US new data centers. The company is also seeking proposals from nuclear power developers, which the Trump administration could give the green light to.

My targets, raised to $788-800 at least and then probably further to the upside, look absolutely realistic, as even those investment houses that kept their bars low are now reviewing upwards. As an example, Oppenheimer lifted its Meta price target to $775 from $665, expecting the giant to "unlock new business with AI", citing a stronger macro and advertising backdrop. The broker maintained its Outperform rating for Meta while noting its "improved ad market conditions" even "relative to six weeks ago" and lifting sales projections for 2025 and 2026 by 4% and 1%, respectively, to grow by 17% and 15% in the nearest two years. Oppenheimer’s updated estimates are optimistic even with acknowledged risks tied to TikTok, assuming no US ban on it. Meta EPS estimates were raised by Oppenheimer to $25.41 for 2025 and $28.23 for 2026, representing annual growth of 6% and 11%.
