Boeing delivered 314 jets in the first half of 2026, fueling 8% commercial revenue growth and a $322 million loss in the second quarter. Defense sales grew 13% but lost $15 million with another Air Force One charge. Aftermarket services were flat, contributing $968 million in operating profit.
Boeing has a large backlog that covers several years of production for its most popular aircraft, which gives us confidence in aggregate demand for aerospace products.
Boeing's reputation for engineering prowess may have taken a permanent hit since repeated manufacturing flaws in 737 MAX jets have hampered the assembly pace and disrupted airlines' and passengers' schedules.
