In Boeing Co's own words

“I’m very pleased with the progress our team is making as we execute our plan. Our operations are more stable and key certification programs remain on plan. Our focus has been on restoring trust and we are now building on that through a sustained focus on safety, quality, and on-time performance”

— Kelly Ortberg, Boeing president and chief executive officer · SEC filing

From the company's earnings release filed with the SEC on 2026-07-28 (Form 8-K).

What would change the picture for BA

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them is a prediction.

• The Oct. 27, 2026 earnings report (6 days away). Boeing Co beat estimates in 1 of the last 4 quarters (average surprise -75.6%); a miss would break that pattern.
• An open-market purchase by an insider at Boeing Co. There has been none in 90 days; Form 4 filings would show one within two business days of the trade.
• Price levels: a close above $252.15 would be a new 52-week high, 32.4% above the latest close of $190.47; a close below $179.12 would be a new 52-week low, 6.0% below it.
• Growth: revenue rose 24.8% year over year in the quarter ending Jun 2026 (trend: slowing). At a P/E of 67.8, a slowdown would matter more than at a lower multiple.
• New shares: dilution risk is low now. A new shelf registration (S-3) or a prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise it.

How BA compares with its peers

Over the past month BA ranks 2 of 3 in this group (-5.3%); the best was TXT (-2.8%) and the weakest AIR (-14.2%).

BA's P/E of 67.8 is above the peers' median of 17.8, so investors pay more for each dollar of its profit, usually for faster expected growth.

Key terms on this page

P/E ratio

Price-to-sales

Market value divided by the last 12 months of revenue. Useful for companies with little or no profit, but it ignores margins.

Form 4

The SEC form a company's officers, directors and 10% owners must file within two business days of buying or selling its stock.

Open-market trade

A purchase or sale on the exchange at the market price, paid with the insider's own money (code P or S on Form 4), as opposed to option exercises, grants or gifts.

Form 13F

A quarterly SEC report listing the U.S. stock holdings of every investment manager with more than $100 million. It is due 45 days after each quarter ends, so it shows positions with a delay.

Dilution

When a company issues new shares, each existing share owns a smaller piece of the company. Common sources: stock offerings, convertible debt and large stock-based pay.

Form 8-K

The SEC form for material events between quarterly reports: earnings releases, deals, executive changes, stock offerings and similar news.
