Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Increases Delta Stake During Market Sell-Off
Mar 3, 2020

Airline stocks have been among the hardest hit by the COVID-19-related sell-off, with investors worried that concerns about the novel coronavirus will eat into travel demand heading into the peak U.S. summer vacation season. Many large corporations have also suspended non-essential travel.
