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 price levels and upcoming events provide specific milestones to track. None of them serves as a prediction.

• Boeing Co reports earnings on Oct. 27, 2026, just 6 days away. The company topped estimates in 1 of the last 4 quarters, with an average surprise of -75.6%. A miss would break that pattern.
• Watch for open-market buying by a Boeing Co insider. No insider has purchased shares in 90 days. Any trade would appear in Form 4 filings within two business days.
• Here are key price levels to watch. A close above $252.15 marks a new 52-week high, standing 32.4% above the latest close of $190.47. A close below $179.12 marks a new 52-week low, which sits 6.0% below it.
• Revenue rose 24.8% year over year in the quarter ending Jun 2026, though that growth is slowing. With the stock trading at a P/E of 67.8, a further slowdown carries added weight.
• Dilution risk sits low for now. However, filing a new shelf registration (S-3) or a prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise that risk.

How BA compares with its peers

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.

Where these numbers come from

Every number on this page is computed from the data when the page is refreshed (usually daily); nothing is typed in by hand. This is information, not investment advice.

• Price: daily closing prices through Oct. 20, 2026; changes use 5, 21 and 63 trading days; the 52-week range uses the last 252 closes.
• Insider trade data comes from SEC Form 4 filings over the last 90 days. The tally counts only open-market purchases (code P) and sales (code S). It leaves out option exercises, grants, gifts and filings with data errors.
• Earnings dates and estimates draw from a market-data calendar, comparing reported versus expected EPS over the last 4 quarters.
• Valuation and growth figures—revenue, earnings, margins and share counts—come from SEC filings (XBRL data, latest quarter Jun 2026). The P/E and price/sales ratios rely on the latest close.
• Fund ownership figures come from SEC Form 13F filings for Q2 2026.
• Dilution scores run from 0-100. The measure evaluates share-count shifts alongside offering-related SEC filings—such as shelf registrations, prospectus supplements and convertible notes—over two years.
