BA · NYSE
Boeing sells commercial aircraft, defense and space systems, and aviation services. Its Commercial Airplanes business supplies passenger jets to airlines and leasing companies; Defense, Space & Security sells military aircraft, weapons, spacecraft, and related systems to governments; and Global Services provides parts, maintenance, training, and other support to operators and fleets. The company also retains exposure to emerging aviation through transactions such as its equity-linked deal with Archer Aviation. Boeing generated $89.5 billion of revenue and $2.2 billion of net income in FY2025, versus $66.5 billion of revenue and an $11.8 billion loss in FY2024.
BA fell 0.30% over the week, from $233.49 to $232.79, after a sharp midweek reversal. The shares climbed to $237.16 on Tuesday and $240.19 on Wednesday, then gave back most of those gains with an $8.00 decline on Thursday to $232.19. The principal positive catalyst was an Argus upgrade highlighting Boeing’s production ramp and outlook for positive cash flow. That support was offset by reports that Ryanair engine issues could expose a $2 billion shortfall, prompting a 0.4% decline in one account. Coverage of Boeing’s all-stock transfer of three businesses to Archer Aviation and an AI predictive-maintenance deal added company-specific news, but neither prevented the late-week retreat.
Boeing rose $15.60, or 7.04%, from $221.56 to $237.16 over the supplied period. Trading was volatile before the advance: shares fell to $214.01 on July 29, recovered to $220.90 on July 30, and slipped to $216.14 on July 31. The decisive move came Monday, when the stock jumped to $233.49 as the FAA granted an amended type certificate for the 737 MAX 7, clearing it for commercial service; Boeing also announced delivery of a 737-8 to Somon Air. Tuesday added another gain to $237.16. A broad market rally as Middle East tensions eased also supported Monday's move.
