Boeing Company

Boeing posted a sharper-than-expected narrowing of losses in Q1 2025, with an adjusted loss per share of $-0.49 that handily cleared the consensus estimate of $-1.303, a 62.39% beat, as the planemaker's recovery under CEO Kelly Ortberg gained visible traction. Revenue rose 17.7% year-over-year to $19.50 billion, just shy of the $19.79 billion Wall Street had anticipated, but the headline miss did little to obscure the operational progress driving the story: commercial airplane deliveries surged 57% to 130 units, lifting Commercial Airplanes segment revenue 75% to $8.15 billion and helping swing consolidated operating results to a $461 million profit from a $86 million loss a year ago. Free cash flow remained negative at $-2.29 billion, though it improved meaningfully from $-3.93 billion in the prior-year quarter. A complicating wrinkle emerged as China halted aircraft deliveries amid trade tensions, forcing Boeing to remarket jets originally bound for Chinese carriers. Looking ahead, Boeing is targeting 737 production of 38 per month this year and expects the 787 to ramp from five to seven monthly, with 777-9 <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/12/05/lockheed-delivers-steady-defense-profits-as-boeing-burns-billions-ramping-production/">first delivery still on track</a> for 2026.
