The Boeing Company (BA) Q4 2024 Results: Continuing Recovery Amidst Challenges

Executive Summary

In Q4 2024, The Boeing Company reported a revenue of $15.24 billion, down 31% year-over-year, primarily due to lower commercial deliveries influenced by the IAM work stoppage. The company faced a significant net loss of $3.87 billion, resulting in an EPS of -$5.45. Despite these setbacks, Boeing's focus on improving operational stability and supply chain readiness has shown promising trends, particularly in ramping production for the 737 MAX.

The company is poised for improvement in 2025, especially as it exits shadow production facilities which have negatively impacted margins.
