In the Resurgent ‘Experience Economy,’ This Stock Is Flashing All the ‘Buy’ Signals.

The travel rebound isn’t a short-term phenomenon… [TradeSmith Daily]( In the Resurgent ‘Experience Economy,’ This Stock Is Flashing All the ‘Buy’ Signals. “Because many people are now working from home, the mall is now Amazon, the movie theater is now Netflix, people still want to get out of the house. They still want to have meaningful experiences.” Airbnb Inc. (ABNB) CEO Brian Chesky said that late last year. And I can’t stop thinking about what he said. As a career-long science-and-tech guy, I greatly appreciate the innovation that exists all around us — and how those inventions have enriched our lives. How we can stream movies into our living room with the click of a remote. How a birthday gift ordered in Boston today can be delivered in Florida tomorrow. How work team members from California, Texas, Belarus, and Thailand can see, hear, and talk with each other each day. The technologist in me appreciates how that’s saved time, increased efficiency, and cut costs for businesses and workers alike. But the husband, father, son, and friend in me has also made me understand how these changes have turned our home into the center of our personal world — and how that world seems to have become so much smaller than it’s ever been. And as that science-and-tech guy, I understand how every action has reactions. Like Airbnb’s Chesky, I believe we’re all looking at, and thinking about, these changes — and wondering if maybe we haven’t gone a bit too far. With the wind-down in COVID-19 restrictions, we’re thinking again about what we do, and how we spend our time. Like maybe we’ll want to reverse course a bit… with some steps back toward the “real world” that existed before the pandemic. Chesky’s comments tell me that we’re looking at some new investment opportunities. You can call it “experience-enabling” stocks — the companies that enable the creation of those “hang-on-the-mantle-moments” that you’ll never forget. I first talked about this idea in our TradeSmith Daily feature Buy This, Not That, which showcased a battle between Ryman Hospitality Properties Inc. (RHP) and Choice Hotels International Inc. (CHH). Ryman was our winner because of its enhanced experience-enabling ability. Ryman owns the Grand Ole Opry — which has been knighted with the title of being the home of American music — and five of the top 10 largest non-gaming convention center hotels. For fans of Carrie Underwood, Darius Rucker, and Keith Urban, watching these artists live with all of the history and awe that the Grand Ole Opry House carries is an experience they are never going to forget… and they may even look to make it part of a new yearly vacation tradition. In comparison, there are not a lot of memories to be made in an Econo Lodge lobby, which is a Choice Hotels brand. In 2023, Ryman has continued to win that Buy This, Not That, battle, delivering double the return of Choice Hotels. Google Finance But when it comes to experience-enabling stocks, we can get even more granular and think about how folks get to their hotels and convention centers in the first place. Because that’s also a tangible benefit…. which translates into investable opportunities. Like the Entry Signal that was just triggered in our system on July 10 for this one company.

[Click Here]( From Dust Cropper to Passenger-Packed Planes In 1920, Thomas Huff and Elliot Daland were tinkering away on an aircraft manufacturing company in New York, going on to form the Huff-Daland Aero Co. They produced observation planes and light bombers for the United States Army and Navy, but they were also innovators by creating the first aircraft designed for crop dusting, selling it through their subsidiary Huff Daland Dusters. Appointed to sell what at the time was an experimental service through this subsidiary was Collett Everman “Wooly” Woolman. Seeing that the need for crop dusting services dramatically decreased after the summer growing season ended, Wooly’s entrepreneurial spirit animal kicked in, as he created a unique agreement with a company in Peru to form a passenger air service. The partnership didn’t last long, but he took what he learned back to Louisiana, teamed up with a banker and local investors, and bought Huff Daland Dusters. In 1928, he incorporated it as a new company called Delta Air Service, naming it after the Mississippi Delta region. Today, investors know it as Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL), which just reported a runaway earnings report success. Not only did net income of $1.83 billion smash last year’s total of $735 million for the same period, but Delta also reported a record profit of $1.72 billion. And to add a second cherry on top, its airport passenger volumes hit a record on June 30, the highest summer revenue day for the company. As in… highest… ever. But what’s most important to share is how this could be a “preview of coming attractions” — giving us a glimpse of just how high Delta’s shares could soar over the next year. I’ll reveal that in just a bit. Because there were some other forward-looking nuggets within that earnings report from CEO Ed Bastian. He says that this rebound in travel isn’t a short-term phenomenon — you know, one that will flame out. Instead, it’s a systemic change in how and where consumers are spending their time and money. Said Bastian: “They’re not interested in buying houses or cars or boats or electronics, but they are interested in traveling.” Bastian also noted that people are booking their travel escapes well into September and October — a de facto extension of the travel-season norm. And once you run these epiphany-level insights through the TradeSmith universe of investing tools, we end up with a very clear view of the profit opportunity in Delta.

[Go Straight to the Exciting Story...]( Proprietary Moneymaking Signals The first signal comes from our flagship Health Indicator. It’s a simple — yet powerful — system that gives you a single-glance ruling on whether a stock is considered in a healthy and investable state, whether it requires a more cautionary analysis on whether to own it, or if it’s flashing a “red-light warning” to stay away at all costs. Delta is currently in our Green Zone and just flashed an Entry Signal on July 10. The next leg of our investing “toolkit tour” takes us to Jason Bodner, the inventor of the [Quantum Edge investing system](. He’s able to see real-time data on the stocks that some of the wealthiest and smartest investors in the world are buying or selling, letting you piggyback on their moves to find your own success. So far in 2023, Delta has been a sea of green “Buy Signals,” with seven over the last 30 days and 10 over the last 90 days… with just two lone Sell Signals. Even as prices climbed higher, Big Money hasn’t been afraid to scoop up this stock, showing that these Wall Street heavy hitters believe prices will climb even higher. And our final leg of the “toolkit tour” brings us to our friends at Derby City Insights who use Twitter data to know what Main Street investors are saying before it becomes news on Wall Street. With their proprietary data for Purchase Intent Mentions — how many customers have already bought a product — or plan to do so — the demand to fly is surging. Not only is there a 28% increase in Purchase Intent Mentions quarter-over-quarter, but there’s a 41% surge in Purchase Intent Mentions year-over-year. Over the next 12 months, some of the most bullish price targets on Delta show the stock price could climb to $71 per share, a potential 48% upward move. And from what we’re seeing within our tools… that isn’t a “sky-high projection.” It could turn out to be justified.
