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.

"Unilever has shelved plans to run a sales process for its €15bn ice-cream division to private equity groups and will instead focus on a push to spin-off the unit in an independent listing. The consumer goods group announced in March that it would split off its ice-cream business, and it attempted to drum up interest from buyout groups for the division, which includes brands such as Ben &amp; Jerry's, Magnum and Wall's. However, the division's large size and complicated supply chain were among factors that led private equity firms to cool their interest on a potential deal, according to people familiar with the matter. The people cautioned that a bidder could still emerge. "

Several pure-play space stocks, including RocketLab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) and Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNR#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>) have rallied significantly following the 2024 presidential election. 
Analysts attribute this surge to a &#8220;Trump-Elon trade,&#8221; reflecting the blossoming relationship between President-elect Donald Trump and SpaceX <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/24/11/42044642/trump-appears-frustrated-as-elon-musk-chimes-in-on-treasury-secretary-adds-more-names-to-a-list-of-potential-picks">CEO Elon Musk.</a>
The Details: Trump and Musk have formed a seemingly close friendship with the pair traveling together, attending events and spending time at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. On Tuesday, Trump joined Musk to witness SpaceX's Starship launch from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/11/42058175/trump-may-attend-elon-musks-starship-test-flight-in-texas-on-tuesday-report">Starbase in Texas.&nbsp;</a>

Investors view Musk&#8217;s influence on Trump&#8217;s space policies as a potential catalyst for the industry. The previous Trump administration also created the newest branch of the military, Space Force, underlining the value Trump places on space technologies.&nbsp;
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Andres Sheppard, also sees the Trump administration and Musk's potential influence on its policies as positive for the space industry.&nbsp;
"I think there's definitely a risk-on, post-Trump-win rally that's being reflected in this industry," Sheppard told CNBC.
"It's only going to continue to proliferate because of national security, because of the Artemis program to get the U.S. astronauts back on the moon, because of Elon [Musk]'s ambitious goals of getting to Mars," Sheppard added.&nbsp;
RocketLab's CEO Peter Beck recently expressed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/11/41961309/rocket-lab-ceo-touts-spacex-rival-status-trump-impact-on-space-as-stock-surges-almost-30">his optimism</a> about space policy under Trump‘s administration, citing its focus on space, national defense and efficient contracting.&nbsp;
"When space does well, Rocket Lab does well," he stated.
Another space stock, Planet Labs PBC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PL#NYSE">PL</a>) is up more than 34% over the past month. Investors can also monitor the broader space sector through the Procure Space ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UFO#NASDAQ">UFO</a>). 
"Space has been one of the best outperformers in the market this year for a handful of these names," Sheppard said.
Overall sentiment in the space sector remains bullish, with expectations of continued growth under a Trump administration and Musk's influence.&nbsp;

Live On CNBC, Steve Weiss Announces Bought More Leidos

Ethereum's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) recent underperformance is a buying opportunity, with traders pointing to several factors that an altcoin season is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/ethereum-eth-price-predictions">still to come</a>.
What Happened: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez predicts ETH will outperform Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in the current market cycle. 
Martinez highlighted several key factors for his optimism:
<ul>
<li>Investor Accumulation: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-ethereum-etf">Spot Ethereum ETFs</a> have shifted from distribution to accumulation, amassing over $147 million in ETH, while Ethereum whales have purchased $1.4 billion worth of ETH.</li>
<li>Price Targets: An ascending parallel channel suggests potential price levels of $4,000 (mid-boundary) and $6,000 (upper boundary). A bullish scenario, mirroring S&amp;P 500 patterns, even hints at a target of $10,000.</li>
<li>Critical Support Levels: Ethereum&#8217;s bullish outlook depends on holding two key support levels—$3,000, where 2.82 million addresses hold 6.14 million ETH, and $2,400, the lower boundary of the channel.</li>
<li>MVRV Momentum:  The MVRV Momentum indicator points to significant upside potential for Ethereum, signaling a breakout could be on the horizon. Martinez <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1859014179455463768">noted</a> that the indicator hasn't yet crossed above its 180-day moving average, despite recent price increases from $2,400 to $2,800, suggesting further upside for Ethereum.</li>
</ul>

Why It Matters: Ethereum&#8217;s potential rally aligns with its increasing institutional interest and whale accumulation. 
IntoTheBlock data shows transactions greater than $100,000 are up from 8,210 to 8,494 in a single day, while large transaction volume decreased by 15.8%. 
Exchanges netflows are down by 126.9%.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin <a href="https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1859092196156469715">also</a> emphasized the importance of strong Layer-1 solutions for stability during tough times and the flexibility of Layer-2 solutions for growth periods.
